Biography

I am a bioengineer, with a special interest in neurological rehabilitation and applied clinical research. I completed my doctoral training at the Bioengineering Unit (University of Strathclyde, Glasgow). I have also gained five years of relevant postdoctoral experience Centre for Rehabilitation and Engineering Studies-CREST (with Profs G Johnson and M Barnes) where I established the neurological research exploring the phenomenon of spasticity. I came to Keele in March 2002 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2007. On becoming Professor I gave an inaugural lecture on Tuesday 25 October 2011, available online at: "Defining spasticity - the (slow) walk from being a lumper to a splitter".  I was appointed to the position of Head of School on 1st Sept 2016.

Research Interest

Improvement in acute medical care, paradoxically, has increased the prevalence of disability in the community, specifically in people neurological and neuromuscular disorders.
