My research papers develop, evaluate and apply visual approaches to analysing social science datasets. They typically blend empirical and methodological contributions. A key domain area is Transport research. I am especially interested in how visualization can be used to explore, infer and communicate under uncertainty complex structure in behvaioural transport data.
