Directors

Oliver Nunn

Managing Director

Oliver has extensive experience building mathematical models that represent economic dispatch and long-term investment in
electricity markets. He has built models that capture complex aspects of power system and market operation, such as decisions to start and stop plant, game-theoretic bidding, and decision making in the presence of uncertainty about the future.

In addition, Oliver has experience as a regulatory economist and expert in market design. He has extensive experience working as an advisor to the market bodies that oversee the energy sector, the participants that operate in the markets, and the network
businesses that own the transmission and distribution assets that are part of the physical power system.

Prior to establishing Endgame, Oliver led the quantitative team at the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC). Prior to
this, he worked as a mathematical and economic consultant in the energy sector.

Oliver holds a first-class honours degree in pure mathematics, as well as a commerce degree with majors in economics and
finance, both from the University of New South Wales.

Franklin Liu

Director

Franklin’s main areas of expertise are techno-economic and market modelling, commercial analysis and market design in the electricity sector.

Franklin has managed teams that have undertaken large-scale market modelling and market insight analysis in the energy sectors for governments, regulators, and private clients. He has provided commercial advice to participants in relation to their generation portfolios and led several large-scale model design and implementation projects both internally and for his clients.

Examples of his consulting projects include leading integrated generation and transmission planning projects in various parts of Australia (e.g., Queensland, NSW, Victoria, SA and WA), overseeing a range of dedicated facility modelling projects (on-site co-generation or Battery) modelling projects for various clients, directing modelling to assess the value of proposed generation and transmission projects for AEMO Services (e.g., T2 LTESA firming tender), and leading modelling projects to assess the optimal CER uptake and orchestration for distribution networks.

Prior to joining Endgame, Franklin had more than a decade of experience working as a market modeller in consulting and as a Principal Economist of Market Design at the Australian Energy Market Operator.

Franklin holds a Doctor of Philosophy in economics, specialising in applied game theory.

Jack Simpson

Director

Jack has extensive experience providing advice on machine learning and mathematical optimisation solutions to problems across a wide variety of industries.

Jack has deep expertise working with extremely large and complex energy datasets, and has considerable experience applying
optimisation modelling and machine learning techniques in the energy sector. Jack holds a Doctor of Philosophy in computational biology specialising in the application of deep convolutional neural networks and computer vision.

Jack leads Endgame’s optimisation practice, working with businesses to implement machine learning and mathematical optimisation solutions to problems across both energy and other sectors.

Prior to joining Endgame, Jack worked at Port Jackson Partners and for the Australian Energy Market Commission.

Simon Arthur

Director

Simon specialises in the application of economic principles and modelling to the power and water sectors.

Having previously worked in energy economics consultancies in Sydney and London, Simon most recently headed the strategic modelling business function at EWEC, the main ISO+ of the UAE. There, he led the system modelling underpinning over $6bn dollars of investment in generation and desalination capacity; provided economic principles and quantitative analysis for more than $1bn of power and water trades; led the development of a new water capacity reserves framework; authored EWEC’s inaugural Decarbonisation Roadmap report and co-authored EWEC’s first planning statement to ever achieve regulatory approval.

Simon holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) from the University of Auckland, where he received a scholarship and was employed as a researcher to publish his undergraduate thesis in geothermal engineering. He also holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Auckland and a Master of Economics from Toulouse School of Economics.
