À propos de l?auteur

Dr Matthew Welsh is a psychological scientist specialising in decision making. His primary area of research is in decision making under uncertainty, particularly as it relates to real world problems. In his role at the Australian School of Petroleum, he researches how people's decision-making tendencies impact the choices they make and the economic flow-on effects of this for industries like oil and gas, which depend on expert judgement and estimation to reduce uncertainty. He teaches into the Australian School of Petroleum's Decision Making courses at Honours and Masters levels; and into the School of Psychology's Masters in Organisational Psychology.
