Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Thompson is a registered psychologist and computational social science researcher with nine years of experience applying complex systems, statistical and agent-based modelling to public health, transport and injury rehabilitation policy. As an Associate Professor and ARC-funded researcher at the University of Melbourne, he blends behavioural science, data and systems design to advise policymakers on urban, transport and workplace recovery systems. His DECRA work uniquely examines how AI and autonomous vehicles might disrupt injury compensation and rehabilitation schemes, preparing institutions for technological and systemic change. Jason’s background in clinical psychology and a PhD in post-injury recovery gives him rare domain expertise linking individual illness behaviour to large-scale system outcomes. He has longstanding collaborations with major Australian bodies (TAC, VicRoads, ISCRR) and a track record of translating modelling insights into practical guidance for planners and insurers. Less obvious: he pairs academic rigour with hands-on analytics leadership, having run analytics teams inside the Transport Accident Commission and led multidisciplinary research hubs.
