Nicholas Troop

Prior to joining the Department of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, Troop was a lecturer at London Metropolitan University and University of Essex. Troop undertook his PhD on "Coping and Crisis Support in Eating Disorders" in the Eating Disorders Unit at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London with Professor Janet Treasure as his supervisor. Troop is the author of around 80 peer-reviewed journal articles. He supervised Dennis Relojo-Howell, who is the founder of Psychreg. In 2009, he illustrated how some word types in David Bowie albums correlate with how long they spend in the charts. Troop has written a song that amplifies these results, maximising the use of these words to create the "ideal" Bowie lyric.

Upcycling Troop is also recognised for his upcycling work. He was the overall winner of the London Upcycling Show in 2018.
