Diet, Obesity, Weight management, Regulation of energy intake
I'm a Nutrition Scientist and Associate Professor in the Health Behaviours team. My main interests are how dietary manipulations impact weight management and the regulation of energy intake.
I lead a programme of work exploring the effect of dietary interventions and weight management before, during and after pregnancy can influence health of mothers and their children.
