Education

Emmott was educated at the University of York gaining a first-class Bachelor of Science degree in Experimental Psychology in 1987. After graduating, Emmott went on to the University of Stirling where he was awarded a PhD in Computational Neuroscience in 1993.[1]

Emmott starting his career doing postdoctoral research at Bell Labs from 1993–96. Following this he was director and Chief Scientist, Advanced Research Laboratory at NCR Corporation from 1997–2001. He has been working at Microsoft Research since 2004.[10]

Research

Emmott's research interests[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] are in:

"better understanding nature, from biochemistry to the brain to the biosphere, and in the development of a new framework --new ways of thinking, a new language, new kinds of computational methods, models and tools -- for forming the foundations of a 'new kind' of natural science: a precise, predictive science of complex living systems integrating new theory, models and data."[10]

Ten Billion

Ten Billion (ISBN 978-0141976327) is a 2013 book, where Emmot according to The Guardian "Emmott's short, highly accessible and vividly illustrated book marshals compelling evidence that "entire global ecosystems are not only capable of suffering a catastrophic tipping point, but are already approaching such a transition"."[18] It has been criticized for sloppy research and misrepresentation of scientific findings.[19]
