With a master's in kinesiology, Tiller worked as a performance physiologist on the UK’s Olympic program before earning his doctorate in Applied Physiology from Brunel University London. He has since held academic posts in the UK and Los Angeles, where his research at the prestigious Lundquist Institute focuses on exercise physiology, respiratory medicine, and the science of extreme exercise—a field he knows firsthand as an accomplished ultramarathon runner. His recent work examines health misinformation and questionable research practices.
