School of Geography - Faculty of Environment

RESEARCH OVERVIEW

I'm primarily interested in developing 'Artifical Intelligence' solutions in geography (for example, in social modelling). However I also work to develop new technologies to aid democracy, such as 'fuzzy' mapping software. In addition, I'm also trying to keep my hand in with some glaciology, which is where I started out.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Spatially Embedded Complex Systems Engineering

A three-and-a-half year project spanning neuroscience, AI, urban geography, and complex products systems that focuses on the role of the spatial organization of networks and the spatial processes within which they are embedded in the domains of complex networks modelling, neuroscience, and geo-information systems.

Wonders of Britain

I'm also interested in early geographical understanding. You can find out more about my current work in this direction at the Wonders of Britain project.
