I have been awarded a Knowledge Transfer Leave and a British Academy-Leverhulme Trust grant  to explore innovative delivery of occupational health among small businesses.

In 2016 I was awarded a Research Catalyst Fund as a co-applicant (£ 10,500 with Dr. F. Nickpour, Design Department (PI); Dr. P. Abbott, Department of Computer Sciences; Dr. E. McKay, Department of Clinical Sciences). This multi-disciplinary study, we aimed to support mental health problems and the wellbeing of Disability and Dislexia Centre Service students at Brunel University London, so that the university can provide an inclusive and enabling environment for them through which to facilitate a readiness to learn.
