I’m a Lecturer at the University of Leeds. I work in Social and Geographic Data Science.
My research demonstrates how new, passively-collected datasets can be repurposed for social research. As well as technical and statistical issues, I consider the consequences of these data for knowledge production. This spans several disciplinary areas: spatial data analysis, information visualization, geography, transport planning, crime science and market research.
Prior to September 2017 I worked as a PostDoc at the giCentre, City, University of London. I have a PhD in Geographic Information Science (City University London), a BA in Geography (Durham University, Robin Mills Award) and a professional background in market research, previously working as a Senior Researcher at YouGov and Researcher at Leicestershire County Council.
