Dr Judy Thomas BHK(Hons), MSc, PhD, SFHEA

Senior Lecturer

School of Health Sciences

I am a Lecturer (Teaching Scholar) on Albany campus for Human Bioscience papers in the College of Health (214.101, 214.102, 214.201 and 214.202). I am also a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. My research background is in exercise physiology. However my current research interests include the influence of exercise and other healthy behaviours on cognitive performance, and the scholarship of teaching and learning in undergraduate students. I have a real passion for teaching, particularly for first year bioscience papers.
