Smaug

Dragon (and visiting scholar)

Biography

I'm currently visiting UC Davis as part of the California 'Integrating Dragons into Society' initiative. A reciprocal exchange program (Mastering in Mordor) sees a UC Davis M.Sc. student spend a year working on a collaborative research project with Sauron. However, the last few students have never returned from that assignment. Oh well, I guess they're enjoying the fire and brimstone.

Away from my research interests (see below), I like nothing more than to catch up with some episodes of Jersey Shore and play the occasional round of golf.

Research interests

  • Investigating the use of gold as a safe-guard asset in times of global economic uncertainty
  • Developing new methods for 'rapid clearance of villages through fear, force, and fire'
  • Eating dwarves
