After completing a BEng in Mechanical Engineering in 2009, Mohsen went on to complete an MSc in Sports Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University in 2012 and a PhD in Sports Biomechanics at ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ in 2018.
He is now a Senior Research Associate in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at ľ¹ÏÊÓÆµ, working with Professor Stacy Clemes.
Mohsen’s research focuses on public health, occupational health, and behavioural science, with an emphasis on improving health and wellbeing in high-risk and underserved populations.
He has expertise in accelerometry, using wearable devices to measure physical activity, as well as quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research approaches that integrate objective health data with lived experience.
