With a foundation in elite athletic performance, Tiller worked alongside athletes and coaches as a physiologist at the UK’s Olympic training center before earning his PhD in Applied Physiology (Respiratory) from Brunel University London. He later held academic positions as an assistant and associate professor in Northern England before relocating to Los Angeles in 2019 to continue his research at the prestigious Lundquist Institute. His work focuses on exercise physiology and respiratory medicine, with special expertise in the physiology and pathophysiology of extreme exercise—a field where his achievements as an accomplished ultra-marathon runner offer unique insights.
