Research interests
My main research focus is the field of targeted temperature management including thermometry.
My research includes hypothermia research (accidental and therapeutic), hyperthermia and fever research, post-resuscitation thermoregulatory management, methods for the conservation of normothermia and measurement of core temperature.
Techniques, methods & infrastructure
Thermoregulatory research lab (methods for measuring shivering & sweating, vasoconstriction, multi-channel temperature measurement, core temperature manipulation).
