Optimising Urban Environments to Promote Active Ageing
This PhD studentship is in the area of Urban Well-being and Active Ageing. It aims to identify ways for optimising urban environments for older adults adopting approaches that can lead to physical activity promotion that are tailored, valued, sustainable and effective. Read more
Investigating the utility of exercise to enhance the yield of haemopoietic stem and progenitor cells in peripheral blood
Haemopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC’s) are donated by approximately 2000 healthy individuals for patients with a variety of blood cancers and genetic disorders in the UK every year, however; there are barriers that limit this process working optimally. Read more
Effect of practice structure on skill learning, retention and transfer in sport
This project can be offered either on a full-time or a part-time basis. Please email the prospective supervisor for more details. Read more
Development of a new muscle mechanics model - mechanics of lower limb muscles during gait
The goal of this project is to build a new model of muscle contraction called the Active Spring Muscle Model (ASMM) and to verify the model in human gait mechanics. Read more
Cell models to investigate mechanisms of disease; the role of redox in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration
We use cell models of neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration to study the mechanisms that underpin diseases like schizophrenia and dementia. Read more

Use of Brain Endurance Training to Combat Mental Fatgue and Optimize Sport Performance
Mental fatigue can impair performance in sport. Brain Endurance Training (BET) has been proposed as a solution. Read more
Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach
This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study.
