Research
Broadly, I am a GIScientist with research interests in spatial analysis and modelling. My work follows two overlapping themes: (1) development of methods of space-time analysis to measure the movements and interactions of individuals and (2) application of spatial analysis and modelling to solve environmental problems. Substantively, my research falls within three main areas: wildlife ecology and conservation, public health and safety, and transportation.
