She holds a B.Sc. and Ph.D. from Aston University. Her research sits at the intersection of political science and regional studies, focusing on how diverse actors collaboratively solve place-based governance challenges.

- Public policy design and implementation
- Multi-level governance dynamics
- Place-based policy innovation
- Transdisciplinary approaches to societal challenges
- Health policy integration
Professor Ayres maintains an active research profile analyzing UK and international governance models, with emphasis on the role of local actors in shaping policy outcomes.
