Research summary
My research is focused on heart and lung physiology and aerospace medicine, and has included studies in healthy volunteers and patients conducted in the laboratory, at high altitude (in the remote Peruvian Andes) and on commercial airline flights. My particular clinical interest is aeromedical critical care.
