- Professor in Kinesiology, Canada Research Chair in Extreme Human Environments, Brock University
I find the human body, its capability, and its ability to adapt absolutely fascinating!
I teach and research how humans respond physiologically to the stress of physical activity, extremes of environmental stressors such as ambient temperature and humidity, and fluctuations in body water content.
Research objectives move beyond identifying and understanding how and why these factors affect the human body, to reducing risk to an individual or user group, improving enjoyment/health/well-being, and eventually enhancing output (work or performance) towards meaningful and positive societal impact.
