Personal profile
Research Expertise
Since completing a PhD in 2012 in the field of exercise and appetite control, my research has predominantly examined the effects of dietary interventions and physical activity on health in later life. I currently occupy a leading role within the University of the Highlands and Islands, Active Health Exercise Lab, Inverness.
My primary research interests are:
- Interactions between physical activity and appetite control
- Changes in appetite and diet in later life
- Counteracting malnutrition in older adults using physical activity and dietary interventions
