Research
My PhD is focused on healthy sustainable eating, exploring the factors that affect making sustainable food choices, understanding the barriers and facilitators to increasing and developing strategies to help encourage healthy sustainable diets in the UK. I have recently worked on a Clinical Research Trial investigating a role for sweet taste in reducing free sugar intakes in the general population. More broadly, I am interested in nutrition security, disordered eating, and mental health.
