Biography

I came to Lincoln having worked for a number of years at the University of Wolverhampton. I currently work as the Senior Sports Science Technician, overseeing the day-to-day running of the department’s state-of-the-art Human Performance Centre and also have a number of teaching responsibilities. I have studied for both undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in sport science and am currently undertaking a part-time PhD. I have been involved in many research and consultancy activities, mainly focused within the area of exercise physiology. In addition to both work and study, I am a competitive triathlete having recently competed at the 2010 age-group world championships.

Research

Research interests focus on the physiological and biomechanical aspects of road cycling performance. I am currently undertaking work investigating bi-lateral muscle activity (EMG) during the cycling pedalling action.

Consultancy

Experience in both physiological and biomechanical testing methods. I currently provide physiological support to a number of cyclists, runners and triathletes and have experience providing support to the following sports: Cycling (both elite and recreational); Running; Triathlon; Formula 1 Motor racing; Football (Professional teams); Golf; Basketball.
