Analysis, chaos and the big picture

Patrick was born in Leitrim, Ireland in 1972. After earning his BA in Theoretical Physics, and the MSc in Electronic & Electrical Engineering from Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, he completed a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Oxford.

Patrick is currently a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow with the Department of Engineering Science and the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics at the University of Oxford. He is also a visiting Research Fellow at the London School of Economics (LSE).

His research interests include forecasting, operations research, data mining, signal processing, nonlinear time series analysis and
mathematical modelling. Recently, he has been developing techniques for probabilistic forecasting, risk assessment, optimization, and the detection of system failure.

Patrick has published research papers for leading US and European institutions such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Institute of Forecasters (IIF), Nature, the American Physical Society and others. He has also lectured extensively on topics including: "Quantifying Chaos", "Nonlinear Modelling and Forecasting" and "Biomedical Models".

At Arrow, Patrick is focused on developing state-of-the-art algorithms for sales forecasting, warehouse and data mining, statistical analysis of critical business data, and modelling economic and financial time series.
