Lecturer in Sport, Health & exercise Science, University of Stirling

Currently a lecturer with the Physiology, Exercise & Nutrition Research Group within the Faculty of Health Sciences & Sport, at the University of Stirling (Scotland). Received a BSc in Sport & Exercise Science (2012) from the University of Stirling, then went on to complete a PhD (2016) with the thesis entitled ‘Neuromuscular Markers of High Performance Sport Preparation: Muscle Contractile Mechanics’. Has worked in collaboration with SportScotland: Scottish Institute of Sport since 2013, providing athlete support to Commonwealth and Olympic athletes, primarily through application of tensiomyography and electromyography, in the sports of swimming and field hockey. Other research interests include muscle recruitment patterns in relation to exercise, and to aging. Currently focusing on the link between cognitive function and motor control in aging populations.
