Jordan Beaumont

Dr Jordan Beaumont RNutr (Public Health), FHEA

Lecturer in Food and Nutrition


Summary

I am a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) (Public Health) and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I joined Sheffield Hallam in early 2021 as an Associate Lecturer, and was made full Lecturer within the Food and Nutrition group in August 2022. Within this role, I teach across a range of food and nutrition modules, particularly at postgraduate level, and supervise masters dissertation projects. I am also the Course Leader for the MSc Food Consumer Marketing and Product Development and co-lead of the Sheffield Hallam Appetite Research (SHARe) cluster. My research focusses on obesity and weight management, and explores novel interventions for weight management, the perceptions of health and obesity, and eating behaviours and appetite control. My PhD thesis explored the use of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques to modulate eating behaviours. I have previously worked as a Visiting Lecturer (Leeds Trinity University), and freelance nutritionist with specialism in weight management.
