Simon Rogers is data editor at Twitter in San Francisco and former editor of guardian.co.uk/data, an online data resource which publishes hundreds of raw datasets and encourages its users to visualise and analyse them - and probably the world's most popular data journalism website.

He is also a news editor on the Guardian, working with the graphics team to visualise and interpret huge datasets.

He was closely involved in the Guardian's exercise to crowdsource 450,000 MP expenses records and the organisation's coverage of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wikileaks war logs. He was also a key part of the Reading the Riots team which investigated the causes of the 2011 England disturbances.

Previously he was the launch editor of the Guardian's online news service and has edited the paper's science section. He has edited three Guardian books, including How Slow Can You Waterski and The Hutton Inquiry and its impact.

In 2012, Simon received the Royal Statistical Society's award for statistical excellence in journalism (online category), having been commended by the Society in 2010.

His Factfile UK series of supplements won a silver at the Malofiej 2011 infographics award and the Datablog won the Newspaper Awards prize for Best Use of New Media, 2011.
