Profile
Biography
Role: As the Research Facilitator for SRES my role is to assure the quality of research outputs from staff and students within the school. I achieve this by collaborating with staff on my own projects and supporting staff in their own research by providing expertise in research design; sample size estimates; data treatment and statistical analysis. My own research centers on two groups: the very old (cardiac rehabilitation) and the very young (children's fitness).My area of expertise is in evaluation design and monitoring, data synthesis and research on existing large data sets.
