- I am a Professor of Spatial Science and Leader of the Institute for Spatial Data Science (ISDS) at the School of Geography, University of Leeds, UK. My research leverages techniques developed in computer science, statistics and machine learning, and applies them to critical social problems that have a strong geographical context. I am best known for my work on agent-based modelling (an individual-level simulation approach) and in the development of machine-learning and geographical information science techniques to solve problems in the domains of criminal justice, mobility and health.
