Michael joined the JCU community in 2020 and is a lecturer and clinical educator in Exercise Physiology. He completed his undergraduate degree in Exercise physiology at the University of Sydney in 2014 and is registered as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist. He was awarded his doctorate (USYD) in 2020, which explored the relationship between physical activity and cognition, and the effects of robust anabolic exercise on this relationship across the cognitive impairment spectrum in populations with Mild Cognitive impairment and Lewy Body dementia. Recently, he was conferred the title of honorary associate lecturer in the School of Exercise and Sports Science in the Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Sydney.
In his time before joining JCU, Michael has worked as a post-graduate fellow at the University of Sydney and been involved in several clinical trials of exercise in at-risk cohorts in coordination, assessment and interventionalist roles. This includes running the first pilot exercise trial (PRIDE) in robust anabolic exercise for Lewy Body dementia . His interest lies in treating the high prevalence of frailty and sarcopenia in older adults, especially those with cognitive impairment and dementia. Currently, he is involved in the facilitatation of the FRIEND project, a DCRC-funded translational, best practice frailty intervention in an aged care facility in Townsville, as part of a team of collaborators from James Cook University and the University of Sydney.
He has spoken about his research nationally and internationally at multiple conferences including symposia on dementia at the American college of Sports Medicine - Exercise is medicine conference, as part of the junior faculty at the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society SYNERGIES conference, and at the 4th and 5th International Lewy Body Dementia conference.
Michael has a passion for teaching exercise physiology and aims to broaden the professional scope and assessment capability of exercise physiologists in ageing, frailty, neurology and dementia through the integration of inter-disciplinary allied health and medical knowledge into the curriculum.
