Brief bio:
After graduating with a Sport Science degree and working as freelance Outdoor Activities Instructor for some years, I returned to academia to complete my PhD in clinical exercise physiology. I am now a Professor in Sport and Exercise Science within the School of Psychology and Sport Science at Bangor University (www.bangor.ac.uk/sport).
The primary focus of my research, impact and teaching activities is the use of physical activity to prevent and treat chronic disease. Recently, this has expanded to include an interest in digital health solutions. I am also lucky enough to integrate my passion for the outdoors within my work, and have an additional focus on enhancing health and performance of outdoor practitioners.
