- PhD from Australian Catholic University
- Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology from Queensland University of Technology
His research leverages wearable sensors (accelerometers, EMG shorts, glucose monitors) to analyze movement patterns and health outcomes. Recent work includes:
- Optimizing 24-hour time-use for metabolic health
- Comparative muscle exertion in overweight individuals
- Neighbourhood walkability effects on stepping behavior
- Allogeneic stem cell transplant rehabilitation
Scientific accolades include an Academy of Finland research grant and leadership in the OPTIMISE Your Health Clinical Trial. He supervises PhD students at Swinburne and Xamk Finland, and his 15 most recent publications span topics from sedentary behavior epidemiology to machine learning applications in activity monitoring.
