Staff Profile

Background

My research encompasses the use of urban data, especially real-time data, in addressing urban challenges such as urban mobility, air pollution, carbon reduction. I lead the Urban Observatory Programme in Newcastle, one of the largest programmes of urban environmental monitoring in Europe. My work crosses discipline boundaries in engineering, computing science and increasingly into policy and evidence. 

Roles and Responsibilities

I head the Geospatial Engineering Group as part of the Engineering School. I am a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and the Alan Turing Institute. I sit on a number of advisory and expert panels including:

• Cyber and Local Digital Monitoring and Evaluation Expert Advisory Group (UK Government Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities DLUHC)
• Secure Connected Places External Advisory Group (UK Government Department for Science Innovation and Technology DSIT)
• NERC Digital Research Infrastrucure Investment Board (UKRI)
• Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure Community Advisory Group (NERC)
• UKCRIC Executive Board Member (UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities)
• DAFNI Governance Board Member (Data Analysis Facility for National Infrastructure)

Qualifications 

BA (Hons) Japanese (Newcastle, 1991) 

Industrial Experience

I work closely with a large number of industrial stakeholders including Northumbria Water, Siemens, the Ordnance Survey, the Environment Agency and others. Through the Observatory programme we work with national and local stakeholders including the combined authorities.

Research Interests 

I am interested in all aspects of data management. I have an abiding interest in maps, mapping and spatial data systems and the development of information systems (primarily on the web) and fundamental research in the fusion and integration of data for analytics and visualisation. I currently lead the Urban Observatory programme in Newcastle, a multi-million pound investment in sensing infrastructure providing millions of observations about the city. I am interested in managing and developing big data systems and developing novel ways of integrating data for research and enabling data access in a variety of ways. I am developing new systems to understand how smart cities could and should operate both at a technical level but also through citizen participation and governance and sustainability processes.
