Sverrir joined BT in  1989  and  initially worked on the application of dynamical 

neural networks  to  speech recognition.  Since 1991 he has worked with different 

units  within  the  Research  Department  on  various  modelling aspects of large 

complex  systems. This  includes  work  on  the  application  of  game theory and 

evolutionary  principles  to  the  modelling of networks and services.  Presently 

Sverrir heads  the  Complexity  Research Group focusing on performance aspects of 

peer-to-peer systems, WLANs and ad-hoc networks. 



More recently Sverrir has worked on the application of risk management techniques

to network investment  scenarios,  including the pricing and trading of bandwidth 

as commodity.  From 1976 to 1983 Sverrir  was a Tutor and  Research  Assistant in 

theoretical  physics  at  the  Institute  for Theoretical Physics,  University of 

T?bingen and Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Karlsruhe, Germany.

From  1983  to  1989  he was a Lecturer and Research Fellow in mathematics at the 

University of London ( King's College ), UMIST, and the University of Southampton. 

In this time Sverrir  worked in various fields of theoretical physics and applied 

mathematics.?  Sverrir  Olafsson received MSc degree in mathematical physics from 

the University of T?bingen in  1978 and a PhD in elementary particle physics from 

the University of Karlsruhe in 1983. 



Sverrir  has  published  more  than  45  research papers in refereed journals and 

conferences and more than 350 papers on popular scientific matters in  newspapers

and magazines.  He  has  also given numerous radio talks and has appeared on a C4 

science program.
