Background: Stewart Fotheringham is a Science Foundation Ireland Research Professor and Director of NCG at NUIM. He previously held positions at the University of Newcastle, the State University of New York at Buffalo, the University of Florida and Indiana University. He obtained his PhD and MA at McMaster University in Canada and his BSc. at Aberdeen University. He has previously been actively involved in large GIS-based initiatives in the US, Canada, and the UK.
Research: Professor Fotheringham's research interests include: the integration of spatial analysis and GIS; spatial statistics; exploratory spatial data analysis and spatial modelling. His recent publications include Quantitative Geography: Perspectives on Spatial Data Analysis (2000), Geographically Weighted Regression (2002) and A Handbook of Geographical Information Science (2005). He has published six books and over 100 journal articles and book chapters.
