Biography

I have a BSc in mathematics from Loughborough University and an MSc also in mathematics from Oxford University. I continued at Oxford to complete a DPhil which was a jointly awarded by mathematics and sociology. I joined Manchester in 2009 having previously worked at East London, Westminster and Greenwich universities. I helped co-found the Mitchell centre for social network analysis which evolved from the existing Manchester Social Networks Group. The centre is named after Clyde Mitchell who was a founding father of the discipline whilst he was a Professor here in Manchester. In addition Clyde was my sociology supervisor for my DPhil at Oxford.
 

I am a past president of the International Network for Social Network Analysis (INSNA) and a Simmel award holder (the highest award given by the organization). I was elected an academician of the Academy of Social Sciences in 2004.
 

I am a co-author of the software package UCINET the world's most commonly used software for analyzing social network data. I have consulted extensively on the use of networks with government agencies as well as public and private companies
 

Research interests

My main interest is in mathematical or  analytical sociology and I am principally a methodologist focusing in the area of social networks. In particular I am interested in new non-statistical and descriptive methods such as centrality, positional analysis techniques and community detection for networks and in the analysis of non-standard network data such as two-mode networks and networks containing negative ties. 
 
I am involved in a number of on-going projects with colleagues both in Manchester and from other universities as follows.
 
A book on analyzing social network theory.
Techniques for dealing with overlapping attributes in network data.
Scientific networks
Directed two mode data.
