My research uses data and quantitative methods — frequently in R — to understand cities, migration, housing and the systems people create. I publish across migration modelling (particularly spatial interaction models), housing and energy, gentrification, synthetic data and the geographies of beer and brewing, and have a passion for applied work in urban policy contexts. # Professional History ```{r history} tribble( ~start, ~end, ~role, ~place, "2021", "Present", "Professor of Urban Analytics", "Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL", "2018", "2023", "Head of Department and Director", "Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL", "2017", "2021", "Associate Professor, Urban Analytics", "Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL", "2016", "2018", "Deputy Director", "Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL", "2013", "2017", "Lecturer in Urban Analytics", "Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL", "2010", "2013", "Post-doctoral Research Associate", "Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL", "2006", "2010", "Research Assistant and part-time PhD student", "School of Geography, University of Leeds", "2002", "2005", "Teacher of Geography and Head of General Studies", "Hedingham School, Essex" ) %>% detailed_entries( what = place, # awesomecv: #1 (small caps, gray, bottom line) when = paste(start, end, sep = "--"), with = role # awesomecv: #2 (bold, dark, top line) ) ``` # Education ```{r education} tribble( ~start, ~end, ~degree, ~inst, ~note, "2007", "2011", "PhD in Quantitative Human Geography", "School of Geography, University of Leeds", "Studied part-time", "2005", "2006", "MA in Human Geography with Geographic Information Systems", "School of Geography, University of Leeds", "Pass with Distinction", "2003", "2003", "Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)", "National College of Teaching and Leadership, DfE", NA, "2001", "2002", "PGCE in Secondary Geography", "Faculty of Education (Homerton College), University of Cambridge", NA, "1998", "2001", "BSc (Hons) Geography", "Lancaster University", NA ) %>% detailed_entries( what = inst, # awesomecv: #1 (small caps, gray, bottom line) when = paste(start, end, sep = "--"), with = degree, # awesomecv: #2 (bold, dark, top line) why = note ) ``` # Appointments and Affiliations ```{r affiliations} tribble( ~start, ~end, ~role, ~place, "2024", "Present", "Member, ESRC Peer Review College", "ESRC", "2023", "Present", "External Examiner, MSc Geographical Information Science", "University of Manchester", "2017", "2023", "Editor-in-Chief, Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy (Impact Factor 1.9)", "Springer", "2021", "Present", "Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences (FAcSS) — Elected", "Academy of Social Sciences", "2010", "Present", "Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS)", "Royal Geographical Society" ) %>% detailed_entries( what = place, # bottom line (small caps) when = paste(start, end, sep = "--"), with = role # top line (bold) ) ``` # Prizes, Awards and Honours ```{r awards} tribble( ~year, ~award, ~where, "2025", "Best Paper, 33rd Annual GIS Research UK (GISRUK) Conference", "University of Bristol", "2021", "Elected Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences (FAcSS)", "Academy of Social Sciences", "2020", "Cabinet Office Geospatial Commission, Geography in Government Award — Excellence in Local Government", "Awarded with City of Westminster Council for pioneering Urban Lab work", "2019", "Best Paper, 27th Annual GIS Research UK (GISRUK) Conference (Colouring London Project)", "University of Newcastle", "2016", "UCLU Student Choice Teaching Award for Outstanding Teaching", "University College London", "2006", "Grebenik Prize — best work on any aspect of human population problems", "University of Leeds" ) %>% detailed_entries( what = where, # bottom line (small caps) when = year, with = award # top line (bold) ) ``` # Grants External grants total awarded as PI or Co-I since 2012: **£17,491,621.90**. ```{r grants} tribble( ~start_year, ~title, ~role_status, ~funder_value, "2024", "Census Innovation at CeLSIUS (ES/Z502741/1)", "Co-I;
