AQMeN - Applied Quantitative Methods Network

I am an urban social geographer with research interests in public health, active living and environmental justice. I was appointed Reader with the Built Environment at Northumbria University in September 2010.

My methodological research concerns the use of geographical information systems/science in understanding space-time movements of people. My substantive research focuses on the effect of the built, natural and social environments on physical activity, healthy living and active transport. I recently published an edited volume on "Obesogenic Environments" (Wiley, July 2010).
