Roger is a clinician and educationalist who leads the Centre for Engagement and Simulation Science at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Music–Imperial Centre for Performance Science. His multidisciplinary research into contextualised simulation and embodied knowledge builds on his personal experience as a surgeon and a general practitioner and his fascination with domains of expertise beyond medicine. Since 2019 he has been the fourteenth Professor of Anatomy at the Royal Academy of Arts.

Roger’s book Expert: Understanding the Path to Mastery was published by Penguin in 2020 (paperback edition 2021) and his fortnightly iTunes podcast Countercurrent features exploratory conversations with unconventional people whose interests and careers cross traditional boundaries. www.rogerkneebone.co.uk
