About Jason Nassios

Dr Jason Nassios is an Associate Professor at the Centre of Policy Studies (CoPS), based at Victoria University’s Flinders Street campus in Melbourne, Australia. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Melbourne, with his thesis titled Oscillatory Flows of a Slightly Rarefied Gas: A Kinetic Theory Investigation.

Prior to joining CoPS in April 2015, Jason spent four years as a member of the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne, and two years as a Senior Analyst at Mercer Australia advising institutional clients on strategic asset allocation, dynamic financial modelling and capital markets assumptions.
