Work with thought leaders and academic experts from University of Calgary

Dr Carly McKay completed her BKin (2006) and MSc in Sport Medicine (2008) at the University of Calgary (Canada), and her PhD in Kinesiology (2011) at Western University (Canada). She is currently the Director of Research at Podium Analytics (London) and a Reader in Injury Prevention and Deputy Director of the Centre for Health, Injury and Illness Prevention in Sport (Chi2PS) at the University of Bath. She is an executive member of the UK Collaborating Centre on Injury and Illness Prevention in Sport (UKCCIIS), which is one of 11 International Research Centres for the Prevention of Injury and Protection of Athlete Health supported by the International Olympic Committee. She serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport. Carly’s research focuses on the role of psychosocial and behavioural factors in sport injury risk and recovery, and using behaviour change approaches to support injury prevention strategies. She also has experience implementing large-scale prevention initiatives in elite and grassroots sport, as well as driving policy change in national and international sport organisations.

Tom is a global research leader in the areas of high-performance teamwork, virtual team and leader effectiveness, flexible remote and hybrid work, human-autonomy teaming, conflict and conflict management, personality, and assessment. His research funding exceeds $6M and he currently leads a lab team of 15, which includes doctoral, post-doctoral, and masters candidates, as well as undergraduate students and staff members. Tom has published over 70 peer-reviewed journal articles in outlets such as Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, Academy of Management Learning and Education, Organizational Research Methods, Computers in Human Behavior, and Human Resource Management Review, and he has worked extensively to translate the science of high-performance teamwork and flexible remote work into practice through consultations, workshops, public lectures, training, software development, and other services.

I got a bachelor's degree from Hokkaido University in Japan, a Master's at the University of Calgary in Canada, and a Ph.D. at the University of Alberta in Canada. My expertise is cultural psychology, sports psychology, and achievement motivation. I have published several articles in each area. Also, I have coached soccer in Japan and Canada for seven years. Thus, I have an applied experience as well.
