- Education:
- BSc Food Science with Nutrition (University of Reading)
- MSc Sport and Exercise Nutrition (Loughborough University)
- PhD in Human Water Balance (Loughborough University)
His research focuses on hydration science, exercise physiology, and sports nutrition, with particular emphasis on thermal physiology and performance in extreme conditions. Notable areas include Cannabidiol effects, renal injury biomarkers under dehydration, and climate action strategies for sports events. His work bridges practical applications (e.g., athlete preparation for heat stress) and broader public health issues like obesity and lifestyle instability.
Publications consistently address hydration strategies, thermoregulation, and dietary interventions in exercise contexts, with recent attention to environmental challenges in major sporting events like the Paris 2024 Olympics. Lewis actively engages in reviewing methodologies and standardization in physiology research, emphasizing reproducibility and real-world relevance.
In teaching, he leads modules on Sport Nutrition and Applied Nutrition, integrating cutting-edge research into curricula. His personal interests in cycling and combat sports inform his practical research approach.
