exercise and diet, Metabolism
Exercise and diet, energy balance, metabolism, and chronic metabolic disease, cardiometabolic health, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. James had expertise in the interaction between exercise and the neuro-endocrine regulation of appetite & energy balance. He has also researched chronic metabolic disease, cardiometabolic health, and appetite and energy balance.
Chemical Engineering, Engineering, Microfiltration, Particulate
Dragosavac's research expertise lies in the broad field of advanced particulate manufacturing, with a focus on manufacturing particulate material using the dispersion route in which dispersed liquid drops are polymerised as a way of tailoring the properties of the resulting material using novel operating techniques. She has established a national and increasingly an international reputation specifically in: Application of a new type of microfiltration membrane and new techniques for generating the shear on the membrane surface providing the possibility to generate larger droplets without risk of droplet breakage. Understanding at a fundamental level the factors that control particle size made using such techniques. Continuous droplet production and, therefore, continuous particle production using a novel membrane emulsification system. This type of system is an ideal starting-point for continuous particle production and it may be adapted to many different types of particles. Control of internal structure and encapsulation of shear and temperature sensitive compounds.

The welfare state, public opinion, and inequality, attitudes toward immigration, the effects of labor market vulnerability, and Canadian politics. Anthony鈥檚 research investigates the interplay between public opinion and policy, with a particular focus on marginalized groups and the welfare state. Some of the questions he鈥檚 explored include: What factors shape the relationship between societal insiders and outsiders? How can we best understand social policy preferences? And what drives welfare state reform?
Business, Economics
Before taking up a Chair in Marketing and Service Management at Loughborough University, Professor Gruber worked as a Senior Lecturer in Marketing at Manchester Business School. He received his PhD and MBA from the University of Birmingham. Professor Gruber co-founded the Centre for Service Management (CSM) in the School of Business and Economics in 2013 and is currently the Director of the Centre. From 2015 to 2017, he was also the Anne-Marie and Gustaf Ander Foundation Visiting Professor of Service Management at CTF- Service Research Center, Karlstad University, Sweden. Among Professor Gruber鈥檚 current main research interests are service failure and recovery, service robotics and transformative service research. He regularly presents his latest research findings at leading conferences worldwide and publishes in prestigious international peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Journal of Product Innovation Management, Journal of Service Research, Journal of Business Research, Industrial Marketing Management, Journal of Service Management, and Journal of Marketing Management. For his research, Professor Gruber has received several awards such as the Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence (Outstanding and Highly Commended Award) in 2007, 2010 and 2012. He is a winner of the methods@manchester Annual Competition for Innovative Methodological Developments in 2009 and winner of the Academy of Marketing Research Initiative Award in 2008.

Biopolymers, Hydrogels, Nanoparticles, Polymer Chemistry, Polymer Synthesis
Fiona's research expertise lies in controlled polymer synthesis, whereby we can control the chemistry and architecture of the polymers for various biomedical applications. Through this control we can design polymers to self-assemble, to form polymeric particles with tunable size, shape and surface properties to enable the development of hydrogels or nanoparticles for drug delivery.
Heat Stress, Hypothermia
George鈥檚 key research areas are human thermal physiology, environmental ergonomics and heat transfer through clothing. He is an expert in how the human body performs in hot and cold climates and the impact clothing can have on this performance. George is Director of the University鈥檚 Environmental Ergonomics Research Centre and has a Chair in Environmental Ergonomics and Physiology.
Childhood Obesity, Infant Feeding, Parenting, Psychology, sedentary behaviour, Young Mothers
Emma's research focuses on parent-child interactions in the context of feeding, eating and mealtimes. Topics she can talk about include: children's eating behaviours; fathers' roles in child feeding; parents' feeding practices and behaviours; childhood obesity; peer influences on eating behaviours; eating and exercise in children and adolescents; young mothers' infant feeding decisions; parenting styles and practices; and mental health and parenting practices.
anti-doping, biomarkers, Metabolomics
Dr Heaney specialises in the development and application of mass spectrometry-based methods to measure biologically relevant metabolites for applications such as clinical biomarker investigations, measurements of illicit drug use (including sports anti-doping) and novel markers of exercise performance and health.

Hannah holds a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Bedfordshire (2013). Hannah subsequently completed a PhD at Liverpool John Moores University under the Supervision of Professor Adam Sharples and Professor Claire Stewart where she investigated the effectiveness of the polyphenol resveratrol in preventing muscle atrophy within an in vitro model of caloric restriction. On completion of her PhD in 2017, Hannah undertook a post-doctoral position at the University of Oxford, working under the leadership of Professor Dame Kay Davies. This work was in collaboration with Summit therapeutics with the aim to elucidate novel regulatory pathways understanding the mechanistic action of potential drug candidates designed to modulate utrophin in the hopes of mitigating the pathology in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Hannah then moved to Kings College London in 2019 where she worked with Dr Julien Ochala utilising single muscle fibre techniques to examine physiological dysfunction and associated causes of congenital myopathies. Hannah took up a role as Lecturer in the area of molecular and cellular physiology in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences in 2022.
