Tim has experience across a broad range of sectors, including the electricity, water, rail, communications, airport, fuel and transport sectors.

In particular, he has applied economic analysis to assist clients in evaluating financial damages and the materiality of information as part of securities class action claims filed in the Federal Court.

His honours research involved an empirical assessment of the technical implications of renewable generation in the New Zealand electricity market, and a cost-benefit assessment of alternative market designs.
