RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP
Paul’s interests are built around the development and application of geographic information science, with particular emphasis upon the deployment of data infrastructures developed from Big or Open Data. Recent research applications include: the development of geo-temporal demographic classifications of neighbourhoods and workplaces; the micro-demographics of residential and social mobility; family name geographies and migration within urban and regional systems; mapping variation in human DNA; retail geography and consumer behaviour; and the diffusion and use of new information and communications technologies. Contributions to the research literature have been funded by numerous research grants, including knowledge transfer/exchange funding.

Research
My research interests are grouped around the development and application of geographic information science and geographic information systems, latterly using Big Data analytics. Socioeconomic applications focus upon the re-use of consumer data and include: geo-temporal demographics; retail analysis; public service delivery (specifically health, education and policing); Internet GIS applications and e-social science; housing and retail market analysis; fractal analysis of cities; and social survey research practice. Contributions to the research literature have been funded by numerous research grants, including knowledge transfer/exchange funding.
- the development of geo-temporal demographic classifications at neighbourhood scales;
- family name geographies and onomastics;
- mapping variation in human DNA;
- retail geography and consumer behaviour;
- the delivery of public services, specifically education, health and policing; and
- the diffusion and use of new information and communications technologies.
More generally, I am interested in the practice of social science using quantitative data, and in social survey research practice. I direct the Consumer Data Research Centre at UCL.
My research has been funded by research council grants, Ph.D. research studentships and knowledge transfer/exchange partnerships. It has been my privilege to supervise a very large number of Ph.D. students, many of whom are now established elsewhere in academia, or at senior levels in industry or government.

Targeted health and public services
Working with Pablo Mateos, Muhammad Adnan and various other colleagues, research has developed a classification of family names (www.onomap.org) that was initially applied, in partnership with Camden and Southwark Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in London, to analyse the ethnic backgrounds of those seeking screening and care and to target interventions accordingly. Much of this work has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council Knowledge Exchange Group.
In 2011 Southwark PCT hosted a pilot project seeking to increase extremely low rates of breast cancer screening amongst women of African Caribbean descent. The names classification was used to identify the ethnic groups of women who missed screening, and then targeted resources and information accordingly, leading to an increase in the uptake of screening among African Caribbean women. PCT staff also worked with us using surname data to challenge a common perception that A&E use differs by ethnicity.
By 2013, the names classification software had been licensed by over 15 PCTs, strategic health authorities and other government organisations. Examples include:
- the Health Protection Agency, England (now Public Health England), used the software for ethnic classification in sentinel surveillance of hepatitis and other blood-borne viruses.
- NHS Lothian, Scotland, used it to code patient records by ethnic group and determine differential disease prevalence, as well as the level of uptake and accessibility to public health prevention services such as smoking cessation or cancer screening. NHS Lothian officials also used it to assess need and usage of interpretation services in GP surgeries by Polish speakers.
ACORN classification
The names classification has been licenced to CACI Ltd for the Acorn classification, one of the most widely used general purpose geodemographic classifications in the UK today. CACI uses the software to provide a more differentiated source of ethnicity information than Census sources alone and released the latest Acorn classification using this new approach in March 2013.
Web use and media coverage
The Public Profiler website (gbnames.publicprofiler.org) was originally developed in 2006, out of the initial investigation into the geographic patterning of names in Great Britain. This had 1.6 million unique users in its first year alone, and was licensed by the National Trust as part of its centenary celebrations.
An international surname mapping site (worldnames.publicprofiler.org) was created in 2007 using ESRC ‘Impact’ Grant funding, and analysed names from 25 other countries. This site was visited by more than 3.6 million unique users between 2008 and 2013.
A Twitter names map of London (twitternames.publicprofiler.org) developed by colleague Muhammad Adnan was launched in December 2012 as part of the EPSRC Uncertainty of Identity project and building on names classification data.

Public understanding of science
We have developed interactive exhibits for science museums and public events on topics such as identity and genetics, which have been seen by over four million visitors to date. Recent examples include:
- The At-Bristol science discovery centre used the research to develop an interactive exhibit for the Inside DNA exhibition (2007-08). Inside DNA subsequently travelled to the National Museums Liverpool, MOSI Manchester and Thinktank Birmingham.
- Another interactive exhibit developed with the London Science Museum as part of the 'Who Am I?' interactive exhibition (2010–15).
- In 2012, this research was selected for a display on Genetic Maps at the Royal Society's Summer Exhibition, showing how genetic make-up, names and facial characteristics are distributed across the UK
- The Glasgow Science Centre's £1.9-million BodyWorks exhibition has included the Family Names interactive exhibit, based on Public Profiler, in its exhibit.
