We study human responses to heat exposure and physical activity in a multi-disciplinary way. We conduct various projects aiming to identify how exposure to heat stress modifies physiological, behavioural, perceptual and cognitive responses in young health adults, and whether these responses differ due to age, motivation and underlying health conditions. We also evaluate the effects of lifestyle factors on cognitive performance. Current projects include:

1. The role of miRNA in modifying physiology and perception during heat stress
2. Effects of a prolonged cognitively demanding task combined with heat exposure on cognitive performance
3. Effects of intermittent active recovery during a prolonged cognitively demanding task on cognitive performance
4. Evaluating physiological, behavioural, perceptual and sleep responses during indoor summertime heat stress and extreme heat.
