Research Interests

Current research involves studies on mammalian cardiovascular and respiratory physiology during stress associated with apnea, exercise, and temperature. Human subjects are primarily used, but comparative studies on terrestrial mammals (pigs) have been performed. The research has an integrative and comparative focus.
