With years of experience as a software engineer and project manager in the technology sector, he designs theoretically-informed, hands-on learning experiences that introduce students to Geography’s quantitative methods in meaningful ways. His teaching underlines the importance of data literacy and critical approaches to digital technologies. Tills research interests center around critical data science, digital infrastructures and security technologies. His paper-based PhD project will come to a conclusion at the end of 2019.
