About

Professor Rich Fry is Professor of Environment and Health based at Population Data Science in Swansea University Medical School. Rich is a Geographer by training with a BSc (Hons) in Physical Geography and an MSc and PhD in Geographic Information Science.

After completing his doctoral studies, Rich secured a post-doctoral position at the Wales Institute for Socio-Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) focusing on spatial data linkages and accessibility modelling. He returned to Swansea University in 2012, joining the Medical School as a Senior Research Officer with a focus on environmental modelling and privacy-protecting address-level data linkages.

As the lead of the Environment and Health Research Centre (ENVHE), Rich oversees the use and development of advanced analytical techniques aimed at understanding the social and environmental factors influencing health and wellbeing. The ENVHE team, comprising geographers, epidemiologists, statisticians, and data scientists and PhD students, leads novel research using linked environmental, routine health and social care data using linked data to generate policy-relevant insights. Rich has secured funding from The Wellcome Trust, MRC, ESRC, HDR UK, HCRW and NIHR to support these activities and the ENVHE team.

In addition, Rich holds several other roles. He is the Co-Director of HDR Wales, the Associate Director of the HDRUK Social and Environmental Determinants of Health Driver Programme, and the Principal Investigator on the Wellcome Trust-funded MAGENTA project, which examines the impacts of climate change on maternal health. Rich is also academic lead for Administrative Data Research (ADR) Wales in the areas of Health and Wellbeing, Climate Change and Social Justice.

Rich also contributes his expertise to various scientific advisory panels, including the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation, Housing Spine Analytical Resource, Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) Social Care Working Group, and the Administrative Data Research Agricultural Research Collection. Human and Life Sciences at Swansea University. Rich sits on funding panels for several UK funders including ESRC, The Wellcome Trust and Medical Research Foundation.

Additionally, he serves as the Postgraduate Admissions Tutor for the Faculty of Medicine and teaches on Masters degrees in Geographic Information Science and Health Data Science.

Taught Modules

GEGM22 Geographical Information Systems

Delivery of teaching will be live. Assessment will be self-directed activities and an online test. This module is available to all postgraduate students within the Faculty of science and engineering, Medicine and Human and Health Sciences. Student should be familiar with basic computing and will benefit from numeracy skills.
PM-344 Capstone Project

The aim of this module is to provide a capstone experience to students¿ learning, through participating in their own enquiry-based research project, with guidance from an academic supervisor. The project may be laboratory or non-laboratory based, but it will always involve a research question that is drawn from the literature, and focused on a topic relevant to the life sciences. It will ask a research question and involve the critical analysis of research findings. Students will refine their oral and written communication skills to a graduate level through an oral presentation and dissertation on their research findings and conclusions.
PMIM502 Health Data Visualisation

Health data scientists often have to present their findings to a non-academic/expert audience. The objective of this module is to enable students to choose and produce appropriate visualisations of health related data using a range of media.
PMIM502J Health Data Visualisation

Health data scientists often have to present their findings to a non-academic/expert audience. The objective of this module is to enable students to choose and produce appropriate visualisations of health related data using a range of media.
