- Senior Lecturer, Life Sciences, University of Westminster
An active early career translational scientist with experience in exercise and nutritional physiology.
My interests span from elite performance as an international swimmer to a range of physical activity topics that focus on how the human gastrointestinal system is regulated by the gut-brain axis, which in turn triggers an appetite response.
This research aims to enhance knowledge related to metabolic regulation, time of day feeding, weight management and female physiology. Although this research has a strong exercise prescription origin, it has a compelling endocrine focus and a multidisciplinary approach.
In my academic role, I lead a large Human Physiology “mega module”, physiological networks and serve as Co-Course Leader for the BSc Human Nutrition degree at the University of Westminster.
I am also a representative on the physiological society EDI Committee, a member of the Society for Endocrinology Public Engagement Committee, and an Academic Associate on the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENr) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, reflecting his dedication to both scientific inquiry and high-quality education.
