Phil is completing his PhD in conjunction with the GRC, focusing on enhancing Location Based Services for pedestrians through the use of landmark building visibility modelling, such that data may be filtered according to the user's context.
Qualifications:
- BSc (Hons), Human and Physical Geography, University of Reading, UK
- MSc, Geographic Information Science, University of Edinburgh, UK
Current Study:
- PhD, Geography, University of Canterbury. Supervisors: Dr Simon Kingham and Dr Femke Reitsma, Geography, University of Canterbury, and Dr Steven Mills, GRC
Skills/expertise:
- GIS (ESRI, Mapinfo)
- Databases (mySQL, PostGres, SQL Server, MS Access)
- C#, VB6, Python, Java
- Sound + Video editing
Research Interests:
- Next Generation Location Based Services to support Pedestrian Exploration of Urban Spaces
- Location based services (LBS)
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- Global Positioning System (GPS)
- Visibility metrics
- Natural language interfaces
- Viewsheds analysis
Phil's previous employment includes building custom solutions encompassing GIS, database, and internet technologies.
Now in pursuit of a PhD he is looking at ways to share geographic understanding in a changing environment amongst multiple users of mobile devices.
Outside of university he spends time playing squash, badminton, and composing and recording music.
