Hi And Welcome...
I am Associate Professor in Gerontology at the Centre for Innovative Ageing (CIA) and head up the group’s Environments and Ageing research strand. I am Operational Director of the Centre for Ageing and Dementia Research (CADR), an initiative to develop and enhance research, policy and practice for older people across Wales. I completed his PhD at the Transportation Research Group, University of Southampton in 2004 and have worked at Bournemouth University (2003-2006), then University West of England in the pioneering Centre for Transport & Society (2006-2013). My research has involved several invited International and national presentations at conferences and invited presentations to the House of Commons and House of Lords. I make frequent appearances on radio and television across the world and am keen to engage my research with the public and I have spoken at two British Science Festivals. I have published over 25 journal articles, 15 book chapters, 4 edited books and have a further 40+ publications and have been PI or Co-I in research projects totalling over £7m addressing technological, environmental, health and sustainability contexts of transportation and built environment studies spanning four interconnected areas:
I have advised the United Kingdom (UK) parliament on older people’s transport issues and is am an executive committee member of the British Society of Gerontology (BSG), where I've currently edited their journal Generation's Review, from volume 24(1) onwards. I have appeared on BBC TV and radio stations throughout the world discussing my research. I am an Associate Editor for Journal of Transport & Health and on the editorial board for Ageing & Society journal. I am Swansea University’s environment lead for the REF UoA20 and am Engagement and Societal Impact lead for the College of Human and Health Sciences. I have 4 recent books published:
Editor of Transport, Travel and Later Life for Emerald Publishing.
Co-editor (with Hannah Marston and Shannon Freeman) of Mobile e-health for Springer
Co-editor (with Samuel Nyman et al.) of The Handbook of Ageing and Physical Activity Promotion for Palgrave Macmillan.
Co-editor (with Angela Curl) of Geographies of Transport and Ageing for Palgrave Macmillan
I am an avid fan of Gosport Borough Football Club and enjoy progressive rock music. I like living by the sea. I enjoy running, quite slowly, and have run 4 half marathons (PB 1h 51) and completed 3 10km races (PB 49mins). I was delighted to be a runner-up in Swansea University's Research as Art competition 2013 and 2016 (co-authored with Stuart Griffin).
I am not Charlie Musselwhite the blues star!
