Risk
I advise public bodies on the design and practice of risk regulation, and on the communication of risk and uncertainty to various stakeholder groups.
I lead empirical research, and notably experimental studies, on uncertainty and risk communication.
I research risk-based regulation and the manner it is implemented, with particular emphasis on the role of emerging technologies and the tools they provide for processing compliance data and assigning risk scores to regulated entities.
