Great expectations: a predictive processing account of human balance control

This research considers ways we can deliberately “manipulate” our predictive brains by using various interventions to modify our beliefs/expectations about an important perceptual-motor skills.


PostUraL tachycardia Syndrome Exercise (PulSE) study

A lifestyle intervention designed by people with POTS, for people with POTS.


InoCardia: Delivering Improved Cardiac Safety Liabilities for Therapeutic Drugs Using the Contractome-AI

The commercialisation of Professor Maddock's academic research started with a vision that there was a fundamental need within the Pharmaceutical Industry for the development of improved physiological relevant model to assess cardiac contractility.


InoCardia: Novel human-cell based assay for assessment of cardiovascular liability

The aim of this project was to test the concept of a higher throughput functional cardiac cell contractile assay under truly physiological conditions, advancing information on how the heart behaves functionally and enabling the testing of inotropic drugs in these conditions.


Using movement and story telling to enhance motor and cognitive development in preschoolers

This study sought to pilot an innovative intervention for pre-schoolers whereby movement is linked to storytelling in a fun and accessible manner.


Evaluation of the Shuttletime Programme

This project examined the effect of engaging in the BWF Shuttle Time programme, compared to traditional Physical Education, on children's current and future engagement in sport and physical activity and health.


Through the eyes of children, young people and families - Evaluation of the model of care delivered by WellChild Nurses

This project carried out a longitudinal evaluation of the model of care delivered to children, young people and families with complex care needs by organisation WellChild.


Investigation of green roofs as an ecological tool in combating urbanisation, improving biodiversity and providing wildlife stepping stones

The aim of this two year KTP project is to investigate the value of water managed green infrastructure in urban areas to improve biodiversity.


Green roofs for ecological benefit, water management and sustainable design KTP: SEL Environmental and Coventry University

The benefits of green roofs individually include the improvement and reduction of energy consumption, while a concentration across a large area has been proven to reduce temperatures in the surrounding climate.


Evaluating peat-free propagation media suitable for production of high-quality ornamental transplants

The project aims to fill the scientific knowledge gap in peat-free plant production in ornamental horticulture. 


SPRINGBOARD - Addressing the under-representation of women in Higher Education leadership: Ukraine and UK

This project addresses the under-representation of women in higher education leadership in Ukraine and the UK by focusing on the unique leadership challenges women face during times of crisis.


Organic-PLUS

The overall aim of the ‘Organic-PLUS project’ (O+) is to provide high-quality, trans-disciplinary, scientifically informed decision support to help all actors in the organic sector, including national and regional policy makers, to reach the next level of the organic success story in Europe.


True - TRansition paths to sUstainable legume based systems in Europe

True project aims to identify the best routes, or “transition paths” to increase sustainable legume cultivation and consumption across Europe.


Growing Connections

Growing Connections investigates the potential of alternative, more agroecological approaches to tree production in which many small community nurseries produce a diverse range of locally sourced, locally adapted trees.


Creative Accounting: Evolving Mindsets for Business and Finance Professionals

The aim of this project is to investigate how, through performance-led artistic interventions and provocations, the creative arts and playfulness can best be utilised to change traditional mindsets and facilitate a more integrated approach to the business of accounting.


Design and evaluation of peat-free blocking media

The production of field vegetables and salad crops is highly dependent on transplanted seedlings that are grown in media often containing peat.


UK-France Hydrogen Energy Research Collaboration for Enhancing Research & Innovation

This project aims to build a collaborative partnership between Coventry University and Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA).


Investigating the health benefits of hot water immersion as an adjunct to exercise

This work will form the basis of empirical evidence to develop this emerging field. From a health perspective this work will inform and develop a novel area of complimentary therapy for populations who struggle to meet national exercise guidelines.


Non-Newtonian Taylor-Couette Flow Experiment with a High-precision Rheometer

Fluids in many industrial settings such as food processes, glass manufacturing or metal casting exhibit non-Newtonian behaviours (e.g. shear stress is not proportional to shear rate). For processes like mixing, pumping or production in industry, understanding and applying the dynamics of non-Newtonian fluids are important to optimise the processes. Fundamental research explored non-Newtonian fluid dynamics through a canonicalsystem called Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, a shear flow between two concentric cylinders rotating independently. While keeping its simple geometry, the flow demonstrates the richness of complex phenomena such as instability, pattern formation or turbulence.


Agroecology for Europe (AE4EU)

Building a European network on agroecology to accelerate the transition towards sustainable agriculture and food systems.
