Andrew Flood

Andrew Flood is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Canberra. His research focuses on neuromodulation techniques like transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS), meta-analyses in clinical pain management, and the interplay between physical activity and health. He has led projects such as the Acute Readiness Monitoring Scale (ARMS) validation and studies on tactical athlete resilience. Key areas include pain modulation mechanisms, exercise-induced analgesia, and the development of physical literacy assessment tools.

He has been accepting PhD students since 2016 and has published extensively on topics ranging from neurostimulation effects to behavioral interventions for sedentary behavior reduction. His work combines methodologies from neuroscience, exercise physiology, and clinical psychology to address real-world health challenges.

Recent research highlights include pilot studies on transcranial stimulation’s impact on blood-brain barrier permeability and systematic reviews exploring sensory testing in clinical pain. Collaborations span institutions, emphasizing translational research for applied health outcomes.
