Andrew has a broad research interest in the application of geospatial analysis and remote sensing technologies to addressing real world challenges. His background is as a physical geographer focused on understanding coastal environments to inform coastal management, however much of his recent work has been focused on the ERDF funded CREST project, supporting SMEs within Shropshire to leverage spatial technologies in order to develop new products or enhance their offering. Within this project Andrew supported more than 20 organisations with projects ranging from scoping exercises and upskilling workshops to more in-depth partnerships, with his work acknowledged in the 2019 State of the Relationship Report produced by the National Centre for Universities and Business.
