Dr Ugur Bilge
Ugur is a Data Scientist and Modelling Expert with over 20 years experience delivering innovative solutions in
Finance, Retail, Supply Chain, Governance and Health Care. He designs and develops "intelligent" software tools for Forecasting Optimisation , Data Mining and Decision Support, using combinations of techniques such as Neural Nets, Genetic Algorithms, Fuzzy Logic, Rule Based Systems and Agent Based Modelling.
Ugur holds a PhD in Computer Science from University College specializing in Neural Networks. Following his PhD research Ugur worked at the Innovation Centre, J. Sainsbury plc. where he designed and developed state of the art systems for Forecasting, Optimisation, Planning and Scheduling. He developed SimStore - the first of its kind - a realistic simulation of a supermarket, as an application of Agent Based Simulations approach.
Since then, he has been involved in several Complexity projects. He currently works at Business Intelligence unit J. Sainsbury plc. For more details please see Ugur’s CV and Research Publications.
Professor John L. Casti
Advisor - Strategic Partner
John received his PhD in Mathematics at the University of Southern California in 1970. He is a Professor of Operations Research and System Theory at the Technical University of Vienna. He is also a member of the External Faculty of the Santa Fe Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, where he is working on the application of biological metaphors to the mathematical modelling of problems inEconomics, Finance and Road-traffic Networks.
He has written numerous articles and books on mathematical modelling including Alternate Realities: Mathematical Models of Nature and Man (Wiley, 1989) and Reality Rules (Wiley, New York 1992), a two-volume text on mathematical modelling. He is the editor of the journals Applied Mathematics & Computation (Elsevier, New York), Mood Matters, and X-Events..
He has also written several popular books on science: Paradigms Lost: Images of Man in the Mirror of Science (Morrow, 1989), Searching for Certainty: What Scientists Can Know About the Future (Morrow, 1991), Complexification (HarperCollins, 1994), Five Golden Rules: Great Theories of 20th-Century Mathematics---and Why They Matter (Wiley 1995), Would-Be Worlds (Wiley 1996), and The Cambridge Quintet (Little, Brown UK 1997).
