Core areas

OPEN_DATA.TXT_□×

01
Philosophy of (open) data

What data are, how they travel, and what “openness” actually requires of the infrastructures that collect, standardise and share them — from SARS-CoV-2 genomes to global health research.
STANDARDS.TXT_□×

02
Sociology of (scientific) standards

How formats, metadata schemas and submission norms decide whose data count — and how they can exclude researchers whose data are sound but formatted differently.
ENV_INTEL.TXT_□×

03
Environmental intelligence

Data-intensive research on environment and health, and the open tools that support it — the field of my doctoral training at the University of Exeter.
