James currently leads ISCycle as Principal Investigator. He is a Chartered Health Psychologist and Associate Professor with the School of Allied Health, and a core member of the Physical Activity for Health Research Centre, Health Research Institute, at the University of Limerick. James has broad, interdisciplinary interests, including how habits may underpin maintenance of behaviour, and work either for or against behaviour change. Many of his previous projects have been culturally-located: research with ethnic minorities or in low and middle income countries.

Yvonne is an environmental scientist and work package lead for environmental outcomes of ISCycle. She is an Associate Professor in Chemical Sciences at University of Limerick. Her research focusses on developing a safe circular economy through application of industrial ecology principles. In short she worries about rebound effects! Growing up she cycled to school and friends’ homes independently and wanted the same for her family. She spent some time working for An Taisce and the Green School/Campus programmes where she trained as a Bikeability Instructor. Moving from independent cycling to family cycling prompted her to buy an ebike. She is now a long tail ecargo bike enthusiast! 

Louise has a background in health psychology and is currently working as Research Fellow on the ISCycle2 project at University of Limerick. Louise completed her PhD at University of Galway, studying medication taking among people living with multiple long-term conditions. Since 2022, Louise has been working with the ISCycle team on the ebike loan project. She is interested in working together with members of the public to generate evidence to inform more equitable and inclusive policies. At ISCycle this involves collaborating with community partners to develop and evaluate a sustainable mobility intervention for people who cannot access the Bike-to-Work scheme for a variety of reasons, but who nonetheless should be included in the transition to sustainable mobility. 

Anna is a Sport Scientist and Postdoctoral Researcher on the ISCycle project at the University of Limerick. With a background in sports physiology, she completed her PhD between the University of Barcelona and Indiana University, studying triathletes' performance and muscle damage in ultra-endurance events. She’s recently worked with cystic fibrosis patients at the University of Limoges to explore their physical activity and barriers to exercise. Previously, at the University of Rennes 2, she investigated cardiac fatigue in cycling events like the Tour de France. She even rode the Tour herself for two years to promote women’s cycling and equality in the sport. She has taken countless bikepacking trips around the world, enjoying the freedom of traveling on her own terms. For her, bikepacking strikes the perfect balance: it’s fast enough to cover a lot of ground each day, yet slow enough to fully appreciate and connect with the scenery along the way, all while leaving no carbon footprint.
