Mikael joined us in the summer of 2016 after completing his interdisciplinary PhD in Sports Science and Sports Economics at Loughborough University. Mikael is currently a Senior Lecturer on several bespoke modules within Sports Performance Analysis and the wider Sports Sciences discipline. Mikael is also a supervisor of multiple PhD students.
Mikael’s research interests are focused in the main, on technical skill efficiency and skill acquisition in the sports of football and cricket. Specifically, Mikael has examined performances at the elite level in both football and cricket and has published several scientific investigations in numerous international journals. In addition, Mikael is a reviewer for some of the most prestigious journals in Sport and Exercise Science and Sports Performance Analysis.
Mikael is also a part-time professional cricket coach and is currently involved in research projects with his local cricket institution as well as the England Cricket Board (ECB). Mikael is also actively involved in research projects with other sporting institutions such as Norwich City Football Club and The London Lions. Mikael has also developed a strong network of industry links with other national and international sporting organisations such as Ipswich Town Football Club, Colchester United Football Club, Ipswich Basketball, the Lahore Qalandars, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
