My research focuses on understanding the determinants of behaviour change as it relates to physical activity and nutrition behaviours. Some of my earlier work has focused on physical activity measurement and in understanding the behavioural and psychosocial factors influencing human behaviours. My current research takes an integrative approach (i.e. ecological perspective) to understand environmental and behavioural influences on physical activity and nutritional behaviours.

My current work also focuses on understanding how we can disseminate and diffuse lifestyle modification interventions, to specifically understand the individual or structural influences on the uptake of “efficacious” lifestyle modification interventions in practice.
