I am a health psychologist by training and have many years of research experience in applied health and health services research. My research aims to help people make better decisions about their healthcare and actively manage their health and illness by engaging in healthy behaviours. It draws on the knowledge from psychological theories underpinning human behaviour and decision making, applied to improve health and healthcare delivery. I am an inter-disciplinary and mixed methods researcher, equally comfortable with qualitative and quantitative methodology.
I joined the Division of Psychology, in FNS at Stirling in June 2021. Prior to this, I spent nearly 6 years as a lecturer in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport, teaching several aspects of Health Psychology (e.g. health behaviour change, clinical and shared decision making), and a wide range of research methods to nurses, paramedics and allied health professionals.
Within Psychology, I lead the third year undergraduate module Clinical and Health Psychology, along with contributing to teaching on final year electives, MSc Health Psychology and UG, PG and doctoral supervision.

Qi Zheng
Professor of Biostatistics, Texas A&M University
I began researching into the Luria–Delbrück distribution in 1998 at the suggestion of a renowned statistical distribution expert. The Luria–Delbrück distribution is a family of related distributions describing the probabilistic behavior of the numbers of mutants observed in a Luria–Delbrück experiment, which is also called the fluctuation experiment. The Luria–Delbrück distribution plays a key role in allowing microbiologists to extract information on microbial mutation rates from mutant count data generated by fluctuation experiments. I have devised an array of computational methods for the analysis of data generated by fluctuation experiments. I also made a computer package and a Web tool to help biologists analyze data from fluctuation experiments. My research results have appeared in mathematics, statistics and biology journals. My second research interest is in statistical education for public health students.

Rachael Gillibrand
Lecturer in Premodern History, University of Leeds
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the history of the body. As a child, I was captivated by Mary Dobson’s descriptions of ancient Egyptian perfumes and hair care techniques in her ‘Scratch and Sniff’ book series. I was similarly delighted (and terrified) when, at eight years old, I got to meet a ‘real’ medieval surgeon at the York Dungeons!
Increasingly preoccupied with the body as a construct reconceptualised over time, I decided to pursue history as a career. As such, I completed my BA in History (2014), my MA in Medieval Studies (2015) and my PhD in Medieval Disability Studies (2020) at the University of Leeds. Throughout my doctoral research I investigated the practical ways in which fifteenth- and sixteenth-century disability aids were designed, constructed, and sold; whilst also considering how contemporaries conceptualised bodily augmentation and the day-to-day use of assistive devices.
After finishing my PhD at the University of Leeds, I spent two years teaching History and Heritage Studies at Aberystwyth University, Wales, during which time I was simultaneously employed as the Jaipreet Virdi Fellow for Disability Studies at the Medical Heritage Library. Throughout my fellowship, I developed three curated collections on Ocular Aids, Hearing Aids, and Dental Technologies.
In 2022, I was appointed as Lecturer in Inclusive Learning for the Schools of History and English at the University of Leeds. As a woman from a working-class background and the first in my family to attend university, I am deeply committed to extending and improving inclusivity practices and thinking critically about how the student experience can be improved for students from traditionally marginalised backgrounds within academia.
