Profile

Biography

I have been a technician for over 15 years, working within Sport Sciences Departments at several UK universities. My main area of specialism is Performance Analysis and Biomechanics. My current role sees me leading on the delivery of the Technician Commitment at the university, a national initiative for the development and recognition of technical staff. I am also a CO-I on an EPSRC funded strategic technical platform T-PIKE which is looking to create opportunities for technical staff to engage in knowledge exchange activities.
