Professor Chris Dibben is co-director of Smart Data Research UK’s Financial Date Service (FINDS), a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh and Smart Data Foundry.
Chris is professor in Geography in the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh.
He also directs two other ESRC-funded centres:
The work of all the centres Chris Dibben leads focuses on using linked datasets to produce research resources both for the public good and to inform a variety of disciplines. The projects and research strands associated with these centres involve researchers from universities all over Scotland and the UK and the negotiation of complex relationships with multiple data ‘donating’ organisations.
Professor Dibben works in quantitative health geography, with a particular interest in analysing administrative data to explain and understand patterns of poverty, deprivation and inequality and their impact on lifelong health and wellbeing. This has particularly focused on early life impacts of environmental insults and its lifelong effect.
