About

I hold separate earned doctorates in various academic disciplines including biology and computing, I am author of 120+ scientific publications in reputable journals e.g. "Nature" and "PNAS" and 3 of my 11 textbooks have appeared in foreign translations. I have been external examiner at 30 HEIs.

Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=4q0Q7N8AAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate) shows my h-Index is ~30, within the top 10% of all researchers globally, and Google Scholar reports that I am amongst top 20 scientists worldwide for "computer modelling" see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_B._Mellor

I have successfully supervised 23 research students, and presently supervise another 2 PhDs. I have won several international prizes for my works, with over 12 years industrial experience and founder of 3 limited companies. I continue as expert adviser to the EU and several national governments at ministerial level since 1994, I am a member of the advisor pool to UK Government Office for Science and member of UKRI Talent Peer Review College. 

Previously Director of Enterprise (2005-2010; quadrupling enterprise income), I received grants from the Danish, German and Swiss national research foundations, plus international bodies including the British Council, OECD, EMBO and the EU. I am reviewer for granting agencies in Australia, Germany, Israel, Kazakhstan, Norway, Poland, Qatar, Switzerland and USA, and for many Q1 and Q2 journals, including IEEE. 

I hold a German MBA-equivalent, am a qualified adult education teacher and Senior Fellow of the HEA. My work relates to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all, under SDGs (8) Decent work and economic growth, (9) industry innovation and infrastructure & (11) sustainable cities and communities. 

I welcome inquiries from potential self-funding PhD students interested in researching econometric knowledge management, the Tech Entrepreneurship ecosystem and/or computer modelling Science & Technology Parks.

Research

Life would be much easier if organisations had a 3D map of the business landscape showing owners and entrepreneurs where best to go, how much they could benefit when they get there, as well as how much it would cost them along the way. Just as astronomers find out about our Universe by looking at lots of stars, and in different wavelengths, we are looking at lots of organisations and using metrics that are different to the ones that are normally visible. To do this we need to have a lot of information, this is called a "Big Data" approach. Unfortunately the metrics that are available in the UK, like company annual returns, don't tell us a lot. Indeed our previous research indicates that some important factors can be quite basic e.g. the number of employees each year within an organisation, and these figures are simply not collected centrally in the UK. Thus we have teamed up with international partners to obtain Big Data. Feeding this information into the computer model that we have developed in the UK, we can produce not only a user friendly and very practical 3D map of the "Business Universe", but also academically to reveal hidden insights into how humans cluster in organisations and indeed how clusters cluster. This approach is very relevant not only to consultants, owners, entrepreneurs and academics, but also to everyone who has a job. 

Our present research involves; (1) How do economic laws determine the shape of organisations (2) When organisations cluster in e.g. tech hubs or science parks, what is the best way of them to organise their structure and (3) create a computer model for business clusters feasibility, what metric(s) can be used to stipulate the distance between clusters and how do age, size and stage in the maturity cycle affect this distance?
