Dr Zena Wood
Senior Research Fellow
Not Known
INDEX, London
Zena joined the Initiative for the Digital Economy (INDEX) in January 2019. Prior to this she was employed by the University of Greenwich as a Senior Lecturer in Spatial Informatics.
Her research lies within Geographic Information Science, focusing on collective behaviour and movement pattern analysis with applications in Smart Cities, transportation and urban planning. Many of her projects involve collaborations with experts from geography, psychology and business.
Nationality: British
Part of Initiative in the Digital Economy at Exeter (INDEX)
Qualifications

Research interests
- Collective analysis
- Movement pattern analysis
- Application of Geographic Information Science techniques within the Digital Economy
Collective analysis involves establishing what is meant by the term ‘collective’ from an ontological point of view and using this to develop techniques that can be used to analyse the phenomenon in more detail. The research focusing on movement pattern analysis focuses on collectives in both physical and virtual spaces.
