Dominic Aitken

I began my current role as Research Associate in Environmental Gerontology at Newcastle in January 2017. Prior to this I worked on a joint appointment between Northumbria University and North Tyneside Council as Innovation and Research Manager, exploring the relationship between housing and health with a focus on older people.  My background is in housing and planning, having completed my PhD in 2015 entitled "Trust and Participation in Urban Regeneration" which explored resident involvement in housing redevelopment projects.  I have experience of both qualitative and quantitative research methods and have completed projects in the public, private and academic sectors.
