Prof
I am Professor of Urban Planning and GISc, Director of the NERC Digital Solutions Programme, Director of UoM's Digital Futures Platform and Deputy Director of the Spatial Policy Analysis Lab. A large part of my current role is leading NERC's 5 year Digital Solutions Programme which is investing £8m in the development of an online platform and set of toolkits that will exploit environmental and other data to create innovative digital services that deliver economic, societal and environmental benefits across the UK. You can find further information on that here.
I joined the University in September 2003 and was previously a research associate at the Centre for Computational Geography, School of Geography, University of Leeds where I developed PPGIS methods and applications. I have worked in planning practice for Leicestershire County Council and a number of planning consultancies before focusing on an academic career.
