I’m a researcher and writer helping to design web3 business models and the decentralised digital economy. I’m the Deputy Director and Senior Research Fellow at the RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub.
I have authored 4 books and over 20 peer reviewed papers on topics including cryptodemocracy, blockchain innovation, token airdrops and web3 governance. I have published in journals such as Research Policy, the Harvard Negotiation Law Review and the Journal of Business Research (for a full list see here). According to Google Scholar my work has been cited over 1800 times (H-index 19) and my papers on SSRN have been downloaded over 24,000 times.
My research is driven by applied problems and interesting questions. I advise on the design of web3 projects, and shape public policy around new technologies. I have appeared as an expert witness before 6 parliamentary inquiries in Australia, and I have written over 50 opinion pieces and policy reports on a range of topics. I have an award-winning PhD in economics.
