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. My teaching is focussed around introducing computational data analysis techniques for Geographers (examples here and here).
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.
