Liz is a Senior Research Fellow within the School of Health Sciences at the University of Brighton.  She is an exercise scientist and her research interests include physical activity and exercise interventions across the lifespan.  

Liz is leading the Data for Impact (DfI) project, commissioned by Physio First (www.physiofirst.org.uk), in order to gain fuller information about current practice, patient demographics and outcome of care within musculoskeletal physiotherapy private practices in the UK. 

Liz studied for her undergraduate degree and post graduate degree at the University of Brighton (obtaining an EPSRC PhD studentship).  She joined the University of Brighton as a Research Officer and is now Senior Research Fellow within the School of Health Sciences.   

Liz has contributed to teaching on the Postgraduate Education Programme in Health Sciences, and advisor or supervisor for project students (including PhD and MSc).

I am interested in supervising PG students in most areas of exercise, physical activity and  rehabilitation.  However, particular areas of interest for supervision include the following:-

• Interventions to improve physical function 
• Interventions to improve muscle mass/bone strength for young people with mobility disorders or older adults
• Physiotherapy
• Outcome measures
