About
Overview
Paul is a post-doctoral research fellow and public health registrar based at the Centre for Food Policy, City University. His research takes a mixed methods approach to explore the relationship between human health and the built and natural environment, with a particular focus on food policy, obesity and the social determinants of health.
He is currently working on a series of projects for the NIHR-funded Obesity Policy Research Unit, exploring how policy across government could be better aligned to address drivers of obesity; exploring how COVID-19 has changed families' relationships with food and the food environment; and understanding how people can be placed at the heart of food systems policy.
Paul previously worked as a Public Health Registrar between the University of Warwick, local authority public health teams and the Department of Health and Social Care on a range of public health interventions, from promoting active travel to reducing exposure to air pollution and improving dietary behaviour. Paul also worked as a senior policy adviser with Toronto Public Health where he took an 'action research' approach in developing a healthier and more sustainable food system. He has a Masters’ in Public Health, completed a PhD at the University of Birmingham and is a Member of the Faculty of Public Health.
