About Phil

My name is Phil, and I am part of the third cohort of students in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Geospatial Systems at the University of Nottingham.

My PhD focuses on modelling the relationship between biodiversity and human health indicators at national scale across the UK. This work integrates crowdsourced, earth observation, and authoritative datasets with a range of statistical and machine learning methods. The aim is to empirically evaluate how biodiversity relates to population health, drawing on frameworks such as the World Health Organisation’s One Health approach. By emphasising the connections between public health and the environment, the project highlights the interdisciplinary nature of this research and its potential to support improved societal outcomes.

Having applied geospatial techniques across several disciplines, I joined the CDT to further develop my technical expertise and collaborative skills within a multidisciplinary environment. I hope to apply these skills in the future to drive data-informed decision making that supports both human and environmental well-being.
