Professor Orthopaedics
Biography

I gained my PhD in 2007 studying the influence of nutritional deficiencies on human health and performance. Funded by the Ministry of Defence, the findings had implications for soldier training and performance. Since 2007 I have been a physiology lecturer at Bangor University. I am part of the Extremes Research Group

Research Intrest

My research focuses on how extreme environments (e.g. altitude, heat, cold, dehydration, nutrient restriction and sleep loss) affect how human performance and health. This research is completed in our state-of-the-art environmental chambers and the great outdoors. Indeed, we have just returned from a medical research expedition to the Himalayas (Press here for more information). For more information about current and previous research projects please visit the Extremes Research Group website
