My research investigates the effects of motor imagery and action observation on learning and skilled performance in a variety of populations. My current research interests include investigating visuomotor control of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), how mental simulation techniques can be used to improve the rehabilitation of stroke survivors, and how VR can be used to improve skilled performance in health and sport settings.
In terms of personal interests, I enjoy all sports but I primarily engage in road cycling. A personal aim of mine is to attend an iconic mountain stage of each of cycling's three Grand Tours: the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a España .
I teach because I value of the impact my own teachers had upon me and my own career development. I hope to be able support current and future generations of students in finding their own path towards successful and rewarding careers.
