Introduction
I am Research Professor and a co-founder of the Physical Activity and Well-Being Research Group located in the School of Psychology. I have been based at Curtin University since July 2014. Prior to that, I was based at the University of Birmingham for 8 years first as a RCUK Fellow (2006-2011), then a Lecturer (2011-2013), then a Senior Lecturer (2013-2014). Between 2002 and 2006, I held various other permanent academic positions in the UK (Aberystwyth University, and the University of Wolverhampton). I obtained my PhD in Exercise & Health Sciences from the University of Bristol (UK) in March 2003.

Research Interests
The majority of my research centres on four inter-related themes: physical activity, well-being, health and body image. Specific areas of interest and expertise relate to:
Physical activity behaviour change across various life contexts (workplace, older adults, communities)
Using contemporary psychological theories to design, implement and evaluate physical activity interventions designed to optimise health and well-being
The synergistic roles of the physical environment and motivation to changes in health behaviour and well-being
The role of body image to health behaviours and well-being across different life transitions (e.g., menopause, adolescence)
Other duties include being a Section Editor for the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sport, and being on the editorial boards of several other journals in my field. I supervise PhD students, Honours students, plus BPsych project students. So far, I have supervised 11 PhD students to completion, several of whom have won international awards for their PhD work (e.g., International Society for Behavioural Nutrition and Physical Activity, British Menopause Society).
I have obtained external research funding from a range of sources, including NHMRC, ARC, Healthway, Defence Science Technology, Hospital Research Foundations, the BUPA Foundation, Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation, the Welsh Forestry Commission, the Countryside Council for Wales, the Nuffield Foundation, and Les Mills International.
