Biography
I am currently Professor of Geocomputation, and Director of the National Centre for Geocomputation at Maynooth University. Prior to this I was Professor of Human Geography at the University of Liverpool in the UK, and before this I worked in the Universities of Leicester, Glamorgan and Newcastle, all in the UK. I have degrees from Durham University (BSc Mathematics) and Newcastle University (MSc Medical Statistics, PhD in Geography).
Research Interests
Broadly my interests cover spatial statistics, data science and spatial analysis. In particular I advocate the use of open source software, and reproducible methods, mainly via the R Statistical Programming Language. In terms of subject areas, I have interests in crime pattern analysis, health geography and environmental applications.
