Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArthur Turrell is an Innovation Fellow and data science leader with a decade of experience at the intersection of economics, statistics and research, currently holding roles at 10 Downing Street, the Royal Statistical Society and the Bank of England. He combines a PhD in Physics and Part III Mathematics with hands-on econometric and data-science practice developed across the Office for National Statistics and central banks, translating complex quantitative problems into policy-ready insight. His work spans research management, financial-stability modelling and public-sector data innovation, and he authors practical teaching materials—such as the Coding for Economists quickstart notebook—to make coding accessible to economists. Notably, his background in high-energy physics gives him a rigorous, experimental approach to modelling and uncertainty that informs both technical and strategic decisions.
