Senior Lecturer in Biomechanics and Performance Analysis
I hold a BSc and PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I taught engineering, computing, and sports science at the University of Sunderland in two periods, between working in industry and for the Open University in an Assistant Director role.
I have a keen interest in sports, in particular, triathlon (swimming, cycling, and running). As well as a competitor, I'm also a qualified referee, coach (Level 3), and coach tutor for Triathlon England.
