Dr Emmanouil Georgiadis

Before arriving at the University of Suffolk, Manos was a researcher at the Kapodistrian and National University of Athens, Greece and Loughborough University, U.K. where he was awarded his Doctoral Degree. As an identified expert he delivered bespoke courses in institutions such as the Greek Police Academy, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, the University of Thessaly, and the Northumbria University at Newcastle (franchised programme).

He has been also a Personal Trainer for more than 15 years, contributing to more active and healthy lifestyles through applying the motivational constructs of Exercise Psychology. Further, Dr Georgiadis theoretical and practical endeavours expand in the interdisciplinary study of human life, as he is interested in the maintenance of quality of life throughout the whole lifespan.

Dr Emmanouil Georgiadis in his undergraduate studies attended Physical Education and Sport Sciences (Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece) and Applied Psychology (City University of Seattle, USA). He was awarded with the Degree of Master of Science in Exercise and Sport Psychology (University of Exeter, U.K.) and he earned his PhD in Sport and Exercise Psychology (Loughborough University, UK). 

Manos' research interests are related to the study of motivation in sport and exercise settings. He believes in the empowerment of athletes through the constructs of Sport Psychology; that proper management of their cognitions and emotions can lead them to sporting excellence.

In the field of Exercise and Health, he is especially interested to examine the social and environmental effects on sedentariness and exercise behaviour in the whole life span. He has designed and implemented physical activity promotion programmes, as well as, wellbeing and quality of life courses in Britain and Greece, in collaboration with national and private institutes. His work has been presented in National, European and World Congresses of Sport and Exercise Psychology and General Psychology.

Manos is currently involved in wellbeing, chronic pain and psychophysiology related projects.
