About me

I am a Professor in Neuromuscular Physiology and Associate Dean of Research for The Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport. I have been at the University of Stirling since 2002 before which I received my Doctoral degree from University of Cape Town (foreign scholarship), in the Physiology of Exercise examining various manipulations on neural fatigue.  My research focuses on understanding how the brain recruits muscle within different populations and within different conditions. This research spans understanding of elite athletic performance, sport concussion to Non Communicable Diseases of South African township populations. Outside interests include mountain biking, snowboarding, surfing, hill running and banjo playing Follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/goose_angus
