Research Interests
My research explores the use of technology and music within physical activity and exercise, including:
- sensorimotor synchronisation with music, in particular synchronising walking cadence (in collaboration with )
- the use of mobile music to promote increased intensity and duration of physical activity
- the use of ubiquitous mobile devices for activity monitoring, in particular the use of mobile accelerometryÂ
- design of user interfaces for mobile applications in physical activity (in collaboration with )
- the use of mobile devices and web technologies in large-scale physical activity interventions

- This project aims to develop a series of four applications on the iTouch platform that will allow us to collect high-quality, high-frequency data on a range of physical activity measures and related to use of the music playlist. The four applications can be run synchronously, allowing the capture of both physical and auditory activity within the mobile device.
