Alexander Smith

I am graduating a degree in International Business and Politics at Copenhagen Business School. I use complex systems and network theories to understand economics, finance, and politics. My interests generally bridge the economics and political economy disciplines.

I am also greatly interested in the philosophy of mind and in systems-theoretical understandings of nature and consciousness, biological or artificial. I am currently part of the Centre for Philosophy of AI at Copenhagen University.

I am developing a dynamic model of inflation as a microeconomic phenomenon that emerges from agents' beliefs about system-wide price volatility and trade-network frictions.

I am a trained data analyst, comfortable in quantitative and qualitative research, including machine learning, using Python, R, and SQL.

I freelance as an editor, clarifying arguments and language. My contributions were most recently acknowledged in a globally-published popular economics book, Blyth & Fraccaroli's Inflation.

I also have multiple years' experience managing communications, both external and internal. I've written professionally in commercial, technical, content, business, and academic contexts.

My communications work has included building and marketing brands internationally. I've led creative and technical teams to define identities, craft strategy, and continuously improve customer experiences and journeys.

I am formally educated in digital media, audio-visual communication, and project management. I specialised in visual and written messaging that motivates action, and in sequencing narratives that hold engagement long-term.

Most of my career has involved organizing, optimizing, documenting and administrating business processes and operational logistics. I still consult businesses on how to efficiently deliver more and better products using fewer resources.

I have an offer for postgraduate study at the London School of Economics, for which I'm still finding funding — let me know if you have it.

My favourite colour is International Klein Blue, and I play average games of chess and go.
