Sir Nigel is the principal of Jesus College, Oxford, and professorial research fellow in computer science at the University of Oxford. He is an interdisciplinary researcher, policy expert and commentator who has published on topics ranging from cognitive psychology to computational neuroscience, artificial intelligence to the sematic web.

Nigel is chairman and co-founder of the Open Data Institute (ODI), and in 2009 was appointed along with Sir Tim Berners-Lee as information advisor to the UK government. This work led to the release of many thousands of public sector data sets as open data. In 2010 Nigel was appointed by the coalition government to the UK Public Sector Transparency Board which oversaw the continued release of government open data.

Nigel was knighted in 2013 for services to science and engineering.
