Jordan completed his doctoral degree funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research. He has worked as a research assistant on various funded projects within exercise oncology and digital technology. He currently works as a research associate on the CANFit project, which aims to improve survival outcomes for patients with a higher risk of early recurrence of lung, breast, and bowel cancers through a personalised, home-based exercise programme supported by exercise professionals alongside NHS standard care. In addition, Jordan teaches exercise oncology and special populations, supervises student research, is the PPI lead for CANFit and leads and collaborates on several research projects.
Jordan obtained a Bachelor of Science in Sport and Exercise Sciences and a Master of Science in Clinical Exercise Physiology. Alongside his studies, he has actively worked in the health and fitness sector, gaining valuable practical experience.
In 2019, Jordan joined the Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre at Hull York Medical School to pursue a PhD in Medical Sciences, integrating his interests in exercise oncology and digital technology.
He has since completed his PhD and now serves as a Research Associate at Hull York Medical School, where he continues to contribute to research in exercise oncology and digital technology.
Jordan’s research centres on integrating physical activity and digital technology to enhance the quality of life and outcomes for those living with and beyond cancer. His interests include engaging in Patient and Public Involvement (PPI), consumer, and stakeholder engagement, as well as exploring how exercise can improve treatment efficacy and tolerability. His work also focuses on developing supportive care strategies to address the unique needs of cancer patients through innovative, technology-supported interventions.
Jordan contributes to teaching through Student Special Interest Projects (SSIPs) in Exercise Oncology, guiding students in exploring the role of exercise in cancer care and survivorship.
