Riley is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Technology-enabled rehabilitation team at RECOVER Research Injury Centre. Riley joined RECOVER in May 2024.
Riley received his PhD from The University of Queensland in January 2024. His PhD project investigated the feasibility, effectiveness and uptake of digital health physical activity/exercise interventions in for patients living with complex chronic diseases.
Riley's research interests include assessing the influence of digital health exercise interventions for improving exercise adherence and clinical outcomes in chronic disease (sustainable exercise practice), and optimising monitoring tools for exercise interventions.
