Biography: Ian is a social anthropologist and postdoctoral research associate with The UoM. He previously worked in the IT sector and developed relationships between technology and culture. His PhD project focused on the adoption of novel technologies such as robotics and AI for nuclear decommissioning, with a focus on the barriers to innovation and organisational change within such a highly regulated and risk averse industry. Following on from this, his work looks at the role of regulation and risk management in the construction industry, the efforts to encourage culture change in the sector.
