GREGORY J. CLARK
About Me
I am a mathematician working as an Academic Fellow in Marketing and Reputation, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, United Kingdom (2019-Present). I am working with Felipe Thomaz, Associate Professor of Marketing at Oxford Saïd Business School.
My research is in pure and applied discrete mathematics; specifically, spectral hypergraph theory, computational social science, and graph statistics. In my work I develop hypergraph models and apply them to empirical phenomena. As part of my research I collaborate with corporate partners (including Google, Meta, Twitter, et al.) to solve future-facing industry problems in a measurable, explainable, and verifiable way. These projects have led to actionable insights for thought leaders, peer-reviewed research papers, and policy shaping reports.
