Matt's research interests are in data visualisation and mobilities – that is, the movement of people and things, as well as the broader social implications of those movements. He is particularly interested in how data originally produced for another purpose can be captured, reused and visualised in ways help us understand how society is changing. His current research uses airline and airport passenger data to look at how and why people are moving around the European Union and how this has changed over time.
