My research focuses on the development of simulation models of socio-ecological dynamics in the past using agent-based modelling, and assembling multivariate statistical protocols for analysing and interpreting archaeological data. I am also engaged in various personal and collective initiatives for the improvement of access and reproducibility of quantitative research in archaeology.

I have been managing the Chemistry Library since October 2013 and for 15 years before that I managed the University's Zoology Department library so I have experience of supporting biological and physical science researcher needs. At Chemistry I train all new postgraduate students in RDM and give advice on compliance with open access and data sharing mandates.
