Summary
Monsuru Adepeju is a Senior Research Associate and geocomputation specialist with nine years of experience applying GIS, spatial statistics and big crime-data analytics to inform policing and public health policy. Based at Manchester Metropolitan University, he has led UK Home Office and WHO-funded projects that produced dynamic microsimulation frameworks and novel evaluation methods for predictive policing and active transport planning. He brings deep technical skills in R, spatial data processing and algorithm development, underpinned by a PhD in Geographic Information Science from UCL and a track record of publishing and grant-writing. Monsuru’s background spans applied geomatics work in industry—ranging from aerotriangulation to enterprise GIS—and academic research, giving him rare end-to-end expertise from field survey to statistical modelling. He often combines open-source geodemographic data (WorldPop, OSM) with bespoke spatial algorithms to extract policy-relevant insights. Colleagues describe him as someone who translates complex spatiotemporal systems into practical tools that police forces and planners can use.
