👋 Hello, I'm Dr Tom O'Shea |

I'm an Environmental Intelligence (EI) Research Fellow and Senior Research Associate working at the intersection of spatial modelling, behavioural analysis and decision‑support research. I aim to build transparent, reproducible modelling workflows that help organisations understand how people interact with their environments.

🔍 What I work on:

• Spatial and agent‑based modelling
• Gravity frameworks for greenspace visitation
• Behavioural modelling and decision‑support tools
• Reproducible scientific workflows
• Visual storytelling through maps and figures

🌱 Current focus:

I’m developing ViSAGE, a flexible modelling framework for simulating greenspace visitation patterns and testing the impacts of new developments. // Recent milestones for this framework include: multiple scenario modelling for the impact of different scales of development on the regional greenspace network and extensions for quality‑based attractiveness. //

🧠 Theoretical interests:

• Socio‑Spatial Perspective (SSP)
• Actor‑Network Theory (ANT)
• Applied Assemblage Theory (AAT)
• Object‑Oriented Ontology (OOO)

These approaches shape how I think about environments, behaviour and the relational structures that underpin spatial systems.

🧰 Skills and interests:

• Rigorous spatial modelling and simulation
• Transparent, modular code design
• Scientific communication and figure sequencing
• Environmental intelligence for everyday lives

📫 Get in touch:

I'm interested in discussing/developing different approaches for modelling, greenspace accessibility or reproducible workflows.
