Simon Anastasiadis
Research Analyst since Nov 2010
Simon joined Motu as a Research Analyst near the end of 2010. He has joined the environment team, working with senior fellow Suzi Kerr, with a particular focus on the water quality and emissions trading simulation models.
Simon has a background in operations research from Victoria University. He is working towards completing a masters of science.
Outside of work Simon is involved in leading his church youth group, plays ultimate frisbee and also enjoys reading.
