Research Interests
- Integrative physiology
- Renal physiology
- Cardiovascular physiology
- Environmental physiology
- Exercise physiology
Our research interests involve identifying the implications of thermal stress (i.e., heat, cold, humidity) and other related stressors (e.g., dehydration, hypoxia) on integrative physiology.
Our current research foci include - (a) Understanding the mechanisms of autonomic and behavioral thermoregulation during exercise and/or heat exposure; (b) Examining the impact of heat exposure, dehydration and/or exercise on renal function and injury; and (c) Elucidating adaptations to diving related environmental exposures. We conduct these studies in younger and older adults, and with relevance to other at-risk populations (e.g., military, manual laborers, etc.).
