Tim is a Research Fellow at the European Centre for Environment and Human Health, focusing on the societal benefits of home environment sensor systems. With a background in social geography, Tim holds a PhD from the University of Exeter and an MSc from Newcastle University. His interdisciplinary research bridges public health, housing, and digital innovation. Tim has contributed to several collaborative studies with social enterprises and housing professionals to improve health outcomes and inform policy through his research.

Tim’s research examines the intersection of housing, health, and technology, particularly how sensor systems in homes can improve health and address social inequalities in housing and community settings. He has worked on projects exploring digital inclusion and co-design to create user-centred solutions. His work prioritises public engagement, collaborating with underserved communities to ensure research is relevant and impactful.
