Dr Timothy Bolt PhD

Research Fellow

Dr Timothy Bolt is Research Fellow within Southampton Business School at the University of Southampton.

My work within the HaCIRIC Project and previously on the RIGHT Project contributes to the Southampton Business School's research into the use of modelling and simulation tools for decision-making and service planning within the health service.

This builds on previous collaborative research on coordinating health and social care services in the UK and Japan. My focus was on improving community-based care service for older people through the provision of telecare and care-coordination information exchange platforms. This research was undertaken as part of an international, multidisciplinary project while based at Waseda University, Tokyo and also as a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).

This followed on from research and teaching at the University of Edinburgh with the Department of Economics and the Institute for Japanese-European Technology Studies (JETS Institute). While at the JETS Institute, I worked primarily on EU-funded projects covering emerging data services in the mobile telecoms field and corporate governance of telecommunications companies.

I received my PhD in 2007 from Waseda University and MSc (Econ) from the University of Glasgow in 1995.
