The GISt of what I do

My research has a broad focus. As a PhD candidate, I have a fair few side projects ongoing; to quote one of my interview subjects, ‘I’m dippin’ and dappin’ and I don’t know what’s happening’. You can see the repositories for those side projects on my Github, but by way of outline:

  • Skippers - A project on how to avoid rail fares - or how to avoid people avoiding rail fares.

  • Gentry-fication - A project looking at the relationship between aristocratic names and the street names of the United Kingdom.

  • Lyric Islands - A project looking at the frequency of UK place names in song lyrics.

Some of these projects are also featured in the Portfolio tab across the way.
