Profile
John Moriarty is Professor of Mathematics in the School of Mathematical Sciences, where he is also the School impact lead. He specialises in applied probability, real options analysis, and applications in energy. Prior to joining Queen Mary, John was a Senior Lecturer in Probability and Statistics at the University of Manchester.
He holds a BA in Mathematical Sciences, M.Sc. in Applied Statistics and D.Phil. in Mathematics from the University of Oxford. After the completion of his studies he held a post-doctoral research fellowship at University College Cork. He currently holds an EPSRC Early Career Research Fellowship, and serves as Principal Organiser for the 2019 Isaac Newton Institute programme on the Mathematics of Energy Systems.
