James Wright

Jim’s research examines how geospatial data can be used to tackle public health and environmental management problems, particularly in relation to safe water access in Sub-Saharan Africa.

"I am particularly interested in using geospatial technology to tackle public health and environmental management problems, especially those involving water and health in developing countries."

Before joining Southampton, Jim previously worked with Prof. Stephen Gundry at the University of Bristol and at the University of Edinburgh, where he completed a PhD exploring spatial aspects of public health nutrition in Zimbabwe.
