Biography
My research interests use advance skeletal imaging techniques to explore musculoskeletal adaptations associated with growth and development, ageing, fracture, sports participation and nutritional intervention. Most of my research uses high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) imaging to explore changes in skeletal health over time or following intervention (nutrition or physical activity). Recently I have worked on the Calgary Vitamin D Study and I am exploring relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) through a collaboration with the Canadian Sports Institute.
