Research
My primary research interest surround health behaviours, specifically focusing on physical activity epidemiology. I am also interested in utilisation of outdoor/green space for the purposes of improving quality of life and health outcomes, especially non-communicable disease incidence. I use computer modelling and simulation as my main research methodology.
