James Moffat FIMA CMath is a mathematician. He was a boffin in the 1982 Falklands War.[2] He wrote Complexity Theory and Network Centric Warfare,[3] which has 275 scholarly citations.[4]
Moffat is currently Professor of Physics at the University of Aberdeen, where he studies quantum gravity. He has published 135 articles. He is a recipient of the Napier Medal in Mathematics and the President’s Medal of the ORS; the 'nobel medal in analytics'. He is also a Fellow of OR, a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, and a Chartered Mathematician. His contributions to the literature cited 560 times include new theories for Loop Quantum Gravity based on the Mathematics of Operator Algebras.[5]
Moffat was an early writer on the topic of the Agile Organization.[6] Business agility, generally, had been discussed before, but agility, specifically in the context of military organizations, was a new field in 2005.
