Profiles

Research: Our lab focuses on discovering how and why vascular disease is accelerated by complex blood flow and abnormal vascular wall properties.

My undergraduate thesis investigates how graded lower-body negative pressure alters central arterial wave reflection and left-ventricular function during controlled orthostatic stress.

Research interests: This term I am working on a project exploring the metabolic demand of sweeping in the sport of curling. I will be using a portable VO2 measuring device as well as smart shirt technology to collect physiological data and comparing results from each measurement device.

Research Interests: My research interests are anatomy, exercise science, cardiovascular physiology.

Research: My undergraduate thesis focuses on investigating the relationship between blood flow restriction (BFR) pressure and actual reductions in femoral artery blood flow during leg press exercise.

Research: I am currently interested in comparing the vascular profiles of breast cancer patients to healthy age—and sex-matched controls and whether a 12-week exercise program positively impacts the central vascular profile of breast cancer patients. 

Research Interests: My undergraduate thesis is investigating whether the degree of blood flow restriction (BFR) is associated with perception of effort during exercise and whole-body oxygen consumption (V̇O₂).

Research Interests: My research interests include cardiovascular physiology, exercise physiology, and nutrition. Currently, I am investigating how the femoral artery bifurcation adapts to changes in blood flow. 

Research: My MSc thesis aims to uncover improvements in cardiac function that may remain undetected under resting conditions by examining cardiovascular responses to physiological stressors, including stress echocardiography and head-up tilt testing.

Research interests: Madeleine is interested in how kinesiology students develop physiological knowledge, technical skills, and clinical reasoning across laboratory and work-integrated learning experiences and how that progression prepares them for professional practice.

Research Interests: My research interests focus on understanding how cardiovascular function changes across diseased states and how innovative, patient-centred technologies can restore or support that function.

Research Interests: My BIOL 499 honours thesis focuses on how different regions of the femoral artery bifurcation respond to changes in blood flow.
