The research team at University of Roehampton (London, UK) would like to invite applications for admission to our MPhil/PhD programmes which will be offered in various specialisation areas. We have an active programme of research with strong interests in exercise and health. Our laboratories have state-of-the-art equipment, including a complete motion analyis system, various types of motions sensors, an environmental chamber and an ergospriometry system. We also have a highly qualified technical team to support the academic work of our graduate students.
The research team can offer PhD supervision in the following areas:
Spine biomechanics and osteoporosis (Prof R Lee r.lee@roehampton.ac.uk and Dr J Luo Jin.Luo@roehampton.ac.uk)
Health technology/engineering and physical activity monitoring (Prof R Lee r.lee@roehampton.ac.uk and Dr J Luo Jin.Luo@roehampton.ac.uk)
Clinical and biomechanical gait measures in older people (Dr S Strike S.Strike@roehampton.ac.uk and Prof R Lee r.lee@roehampton.ac.uk)
Neural and mechanical limitations of skeletal muscle force production,
and adaptations to training (Dr N Tillin neale.tillin@roehampton.ac.uk and Dr S Strike S.Strike@roehampton.ac.uk)
Biomechanics and neuromuscular control of functional mobility in older adults (Dr N Tillin neale.tillin@roehampton.ac.uk and Dr S Strike S.Strike@roehampton.ac.uk)
The mechanisms of head and neck cooling: applications for sport and for health (Dr C Tyler chris.tyler@roehampton.ac.uk and Prof S Cheung, Brock University, Canada)
Optimal cooling for football performance in the heat: Anticipating Qatar 2022 (Dr C Tyler chris.tyler@roehampton.ac.uk and Prof S Cheung, Brock University, Canada)
Integrating positive psychology into the context of sport injury (Prof C Essau C.Essau@roehampton.ac.uk and Dr R Wadey ross.wadey@roehampton.ac.uk)
Applicants are generally expected to hold a Master degree in a related subject area. Prospective graduate students are strongly encouraged to contact the potential supervisors listed above before submitting an application. If you would like to consider research areas which are not listed above but in the general area of exercise and health, please contact the research centre director Prof R Lee r.lee@roehampton.ac.uk in the first instance.
