Researcher biography
Stephen has taught physiology to about 40,000 UQ students across science, biomedical science, animal and veterinary sciences, health science, exercise science, human movement and nutrition science, dentistry, pharmacy, speech pathology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and medical doctor programs. During his career Stephen has been frequently recognised for his innovative teaching practice and strategic leadership in teaching and learning. Stephen was Director of Teaching and Learning in the School of Biomedical Sciences from 2019 to early 2024, and in 2020 was awarded Academic Leader of the Year in the UQ Faculty of Medicine.
Stephen's research expertise is endocrinology. His laboratory examines the hormonal control of growth, metabolism, appetite, and reproduction - unravelling the complexity of how hormones regulate physiological mechanisms in healthy individuals versus dysfunction that occurs in disease states.
Stephen also has a keen interest in metacognition of learning, self-regulation of learning, and lifelong learning. He is currently investigating how students develop capabilities during their undergraduate studies that support their future professional roles.
