Staff Profile

I completed my PhD at Northumbria University, investigating the aetiology of protracted impairments in neuromuscular function following intermittent sprint exercise. I subsequently completed post-doctoral research training at University Jean Monnet in Saint-Etienne, France.

Research interests

My research focuses on the acute, integrative responses to exercise, with a particular focus on oxygen transport, bioenergetics and neuromuscular fatigability and their underlying determinants in health, performance and disease.

Current projects include:

Determinants of physiological resilience during prolonged endurance exercise

Pathophysiology of exercise intolerance in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Cardiovascular integration, oxygen uptake kinetics and metabolic thresholds
