Edwin Franks

Edwin Franks is an Academic Casual at Macquarie University's School of Computing. His interdisciplinary research bridges mathematics and economics, with significant contributions in functional calculus and economic theory.

Dr. Franks' research interests span multiple disciplines with a focus on Functional Calculus, Law of Demand, Revealed Preference, and Banach Spaces. His work demonstrates a unique intersection between mathematical analysis and economic theory, particularly in consumer behavior and market equilibrium. His research fingerprint shows strong connections across both fields, with significant contributions in operator theory and microeconomic principles.

His publication record shows two distinct research periods - early work in mathematical analysis during the late 1990s and more recent contributions to economic theory between 2017-2018. This indicates sustained scholarly activity across decades with a notable shift toward applied economics in his later work.

Dr. Franks has collaborated with researchers across disciplines, including work with W.D.A. Bryant on economic theory and with McIntosh on functional analysis. His research on fire safety economics demonstrates practical applications of his theoretical work to public policy issues.
