Andrew Simpson

Dr Andrew Simpson is a Lecturer in Exercise and Respiratory Physiology at the University of Hull, affiliated with the Faculty of Health Sciences and the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences. His research focuses on respiratory physiology, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, asthma management, and mHealth technology. He completed his doctorate at Brunel University in 2015, investigating the pathophysiology of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in athletes, and holds an undergraduate degree in Sport and Exercise Science.

His recent publications highlight clinical trials on breathlessness interventions, asthma diagnostics, and sports science applications. Notably, he explores the therapeutic use of facial airflow in chronic breathlessness and evaluates exercise guidelines for asthma patients. He supervises PhD students, including Burrell, T. and Naylor, J., and contributes to student retention strategies in sport and exercise sciences.

Dr Simpson is affiliated with the Sport and Exercise Sciences research group and the Personal Technologies cluster at the University of Hull. His work intersects health inequalities and clinical applications, with a focus on improving patient outcomes through physiological interventions and evidence-based practice.
