Ph.D nuclear physicist, RSA Fellow, and Co-Founder of Local Loop Merseyside. Local Loop Merseyside (https://localloop-merseyside.co.uk/) is working with a range of partners (including Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, Downtown in Business, and University of Liverpool) to build the most collaborative local economy in the UK. The Local Loop platform, part-funded by an Innovate UK Smart Grant, will use network science algorithms to eliminate payment gridlocks in dense B2B and B2C trading networks, reducing late payment of invoices, freeing up working capital for investment, and insulating the local economy from financial crises.
