My main research interests are obesity and weight loss in the general population, with a focus on psychological and physiological correlates and consequences.

For my current research I use data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), a large population-based cohort of middle-aged and older adults (age 50+) living in England, with rich data on health and wellbeing and objective measures of anthropometry.
