Area of Discipline / Professional Expertise:

• Cardiopulmonary Exercise Physiology
• Exercise Physiology

Research:

• The research focus of my laboratory is in the area of body fluid regulation (i.e. dehydration, blood volume regulation) and its impact on cardiovascular the thermoregulation during exercise. From a more practical viewpoint I have research interests in three major areas: 1) exercise-induced blood volume expansion, 2) blood pressure regulation during exercise in the heat, and 3) thermoregulatory control of sweating and skin blood flow during exercise.
