A new centre is being established at Edinburgh University to foster research related to physical activity for health. The centre will be led by Professor Nanette Mutrie and will be multidisciplinary. Our focus is on developing and evaluating interventions to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary time.

I develop bespoke mathematical solutions to multiphase flow problems all around us: industry (e.g. oil-gas transport), environment (e.g. industrial cleaning) or the human body (e.g. brain cooling via flow).
College of Science & Engineering – INFORMATICS
I’m interested in developing virtual humans, especially synthesizing speech-synchronised facial expressions and head movements of a talking head by machine learning.

My research looks at whether significant others (e.g friends/family) can influence how much physical activity adolescent girls participate in with a view to increasing the physical activity levels of adolescent girls.
College of Humanities & Social Science – MORAY HOUSE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
The majority of adolescent girls are not active enough for good health. Walking at a reasonable pace is a sufficient level of activity to be health enhancing, and should be promoted as a free, easy and accessible form of activity for this at risk population.
College of Science & Engineering – INFORMATICS
I am interested in developing machine learning methodologies to quantify uncertainty in computational models in science, with particular emphasis on biology.
College of Science & Engineering – PHYSICS & ASTRONOMY
I am a professor in experimental particle physics. With the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN I am trying to understand why the Universe consists almost entirely of matter and why there is so little antimatter.
College of Humanities & Social Science – EDINBURGH COLLEGE OF ART
Research on people’s experience of everyday landscapes and how access to different outdoor environments, and barriers to access, impact on health and quality of life.

The forests of planet Earth provide essential ecosystem services, from carbon dioxide harvesting to water purification and climate control. Iain’s research focus is on measuring and mapping these forests from aircraft and satellite, so as to better understand and quantify the services they provide.?
