Dr Carrie Ferguson

Profile

I graduated with a BSc (hons) in Physiology and Sports Science from the University of Glasgow (1999-2003). I then studied to obtain my PhD in Exercise Physiology at the University of Leeds under the supervision of Professor Sue Ward (2003-2006). My PhD examined limitations to exercise tolerance and the parameters of aerobic function, with a specific focus on high-intensity exercise tolerance and the power-tolerable duration relationship. My PhD Roles by postdoctoral positions at the University of Leeds and Penn State College of Medicine. I then worked as a University Teacher (University of Glasgow), Teaching Associate (Strathclyde University) and Teaching Fellow (University of Leeds), before taking up my Lectureship as an independent investigator at the University of Leeds in 2012
