Dr Megan Crawford

Biography I work in Data Science and Scenario Planning. My research looks into how individuals and organisations frame and make decisions about the future (biases), structured group techniques (optimisation), and strategy development (impact), with a specialisation in AI integration. My work takes behavioural and complexity science approaches that aim at advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. I earned my PhD in Management Science at the University of Strathclyde, MSc in Behavioural & Economic Sciences at Warwick University, and joint BAs in Cognitive Psychology and Philosophy from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

My recent work includes teaming up with the global COVID-19 project "Survey of COVID-19 Responses to Understand Behaviour" (SCRUB), which has been providing Australian policy makers with actionable insights into public attitudes and behaviours relating to the pandemic. Other past projects included work for both US and Scottish governments.

I am PI of the newest TBS research lab, Futures and Analytics Research (FAR) Hub.
