• Research assistant within the Department of Medicine supporting clinical and translational cardiopulmonary physiology research involving obstructive and restrictive pulmonary disease, vascular function and arterial stiffness, baroreflex physiology, and chemosensitivity/chemoreflex regulation. • Supported environmental and occupational physiology research within the Faculty of Physical Education involving fitness testing, physiological assessment, and occupational performance evaluation of structural firefighters and firefighter applicants.

Funded by NSERC (PGS-D), the Wilderness Medical Society, and the North American Society for Paediatric Exercise Medicine. Cardiopulmonary, respiratory, and cerebrovascular responses to exercise and environment in children acclimatizing to high altitude.

Investigating the use of novel techniques to attenuate the decline in peripheral vascular and cerebrovascular function during acute and chronic hypoxia.

Included work in the Division of Pulmonary Medicine (chemosensitivity and baroreceptor function in COPD) and Work Physiology Laboratory (cardiac function during passive heat stress; occupational fitness testing for structural firefighter applicants).
