Bio
Emmanouil is a Professor of Quantitative Human Geography at the University of Bristol. His research has exposed the spatial dimensions of digital technologies and the digital economy from their early stages onwards. He has published extensively on the geographies of various digital technologies: from the internet’s backbone networks and the internet’s uptake at a global scale, to the usage of mobile phones and internet speeds at a very granular level of spatial and temporal resolution. His research has revealed how such technologies and their uptake can lead to economic effects related to economic productivity and business creation at a very fine geographical scale.
Research interests
Emmanouil is currently leading research projects, which generate new insights about economic activities and the digital economy and how they evolve over space and time. Importantly, his research does so at a much higher level of granularity in terms of space, time and content than previous studies based on conventional data and methods. To do so, he partners with and utilises data from different Web Arrives. In addition, he is leading research about the geography of gambling and whether accessibility to gambling shops is interrelated with online gambling behaviours.
