Biography

Jon is a Senior Research Fellow and leads the Mobility in the Urban Environment workstream within the Places and Health Programme at the School of Health & Wellbeing.

As a Health Geographer, Jon’s research interests are in Spatial Epidemiology and Population Health. Recent publications include multi-city international comparisons of urban land covers/uses and health, development of a novel methodology for describing children's mobility and the complexity of their environmental exposure from GPS data, variability in mobility patterns and perceived stress, social-spatial patterning of road accidents and 'environmental bads', and publications using GPS data to explore exposure to unhealthy commodity advertising and natural space. Prior to this, Jon worked as a Senior Public Health Analyst for the NHS in North West England whilst undertaking an MSc in Public Health (2011) before completing a PhD in Epidemiology (2015) at Cardiff University.

Jon's research has a policy focused approach, leading the application of novel geospatial approaches to explore the impact of planning policy for health and urban mobility. For example, leading work to provide a baseline assessment of the 20-minute neighbourhood policy in Scotland.

Jon is Co-I for the following active grants:

NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Social and Environmental Determinants of Health Inequalities (2022-2027). UK-lead of the Environmental Policy workpackage and Sustainability & Capacity Building pillar.
NIHR Orienting Policy Towards Inequality Minimising Actions (OPTIMA): A systems science approach to 20-minute neighbourhood policy and evaluation (2024-2027). Co-I and workpackage lead.
UKRI-NHMRC (Better Parks, Healthier for All?) (2020-2024). UK Co-I of grant to link green space qualities to human health (UK Biobank) in Scotland and Australia to establish their 'prevention potential'.
MRC Places and Health Programme (2020-2025). Lead of the Mobility and Health workstream.

Jon is Senior Editor for the Journal Urban Transitions and an Editorial Board Member (Associate Editor) for the Journal Wellbeing, Space and Society. He chairs the Data and Evidence subgroup of Public Health Scotland's multi-sector Environment and Spaces for Public Health Group.
