Staff profile for Laura Pedata, Lecturer in Environmental Architecture

My research examines how people with insomnia perceive their own and other people's faces in relation to tiredness. I am also interested in the relationship between personality and insomnia.

My specialist interests are in infectious diseases and sexual health. I also have a keen interest in clinical research design and methods to improve recruitment to research trials.

Staff profile for Leisa Anderton, lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University

I am based within Health and Social Care Research. I am currently programme lead for the Doctorate in Professionals Studies programme at Sheffield Hallam

I have worked at Sheffield Hallam for 8 years. My research interests focus on frailty in older age and I am due to complete my PhD in June 2014 – I undertook ethnographic case studies to explore how older people with complex health problems experience frailty in later life. I have also had clinical and research experience in critical and palliative care so I am able to teach a range of subject areas across both the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. I am actively involved in the department and am currently a module leader, a post that I enjoy.

Dr M. Azizian Fard is a lecturer in Electrical Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University since 2019.
