I'm involved in the ESRC-funded Digitising Scotland project, which aims to construct a linked genealogy of Scottish historical records, with Chris Dibben, Lee Williamson and Zhiqiang Feng at Edinburgh, and Alan Dearle and Özgür Akgün in Computer Science at St Andrews. This work also includes Eilidh Garrett and Alice Reid at Cambridge, and Peter Christen at ANU.I previously led a work package on linkage methodology within the ESRC-funded Administrative Data Research Centre - Scotland, with Alan Dearle, Özgür Akgün, Peter Christen and Alasdair Gray at Heriot-Watt.I recently supervised Tom Dalton's PhD on handling uncertainty in data linkage, with a focus on using synthetic population-scale data for evaluating population linkage approaches.I'm also interested in distributed systems and programming languages in general.
