I am Undergraduate Director of Studies and Admissions Tutor in Planning and SED's representative on the Faculty of Humanities Information Systems Committee. I have been a lecturer in GIS and Spatial Planning since September 2003.

I was previously a research associate at the Centre for Computational Geography, School of Geography, University of Leeds where I developed Public Participation GIS methods and applications.

I have worked in planning practice for Leicestershire County Council and a number of planning consultancies before focusing on an academic career. My research focuses on the potential benefits ICTs can bring to the planning process.
