Staff Bio

Ethan Milne began at the University of Newcastle, completing a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science. He continued to study, completing his Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science (Honours) degree, where he developed a field-based simulation that mimicked the physical demands of fast bowlers in T20 cricket. More recently, Ethan completed his PhD studies in which his research investigated the influence of age and exercise on vessel health in the brain as well as teaching laboratory units focused on exercise physiology and exercise across the lifespan.

Additionally, Ethan has spent time as a laboratory technician within the Exercise and Sports Science Department at the University of Newcastle, providing laboratory and technical skills to students and staff.

Ethan joined the Health Science team as a lecturer in 2024 and teaches across units involving human and exercise physiology, growth and development across the lifespan and health promotion.
