Bio
Dr Johannes Lumma is a postdoctoral researcher at the Alan Turing Institute. His current work focuses on the effect of supply-chain disruptions and economic shocks on the overall economy. In particular, in collaboration with the Office for National Statistics, Turing researchers and researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, he is working on a real-time inter-industry UK payments dataset. The objective is to use this dataset to improve GDP estimates, study the dispersion of economic shocks within the UK and analyse observable macroeconomic effects from industry-specific shocks.
In the past he has been a postdoctoral researcher at Ecole Polytechnique, France and a visiting researcher at a leading quantitative French Hedge Fund. There he worked on leveraging techniques from statistical physics to gain insights about the behaviour and structure of economic networks. Johannes holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Heidelberg, Germany.
