Katie is a second-year master’s student at the Human Environmental Physiology Research Unit. She graduated from Memorial University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Human Kinetics and Recreation (Co-op) degree. Katie’s master thesis is investigating initial stay times for work in heat in young and older women. This work will help provide knowledge on safe work times for work in the heat while considering sex and age-related differences in heat loss.
Theo is a first-year master's student at the HEPRU. He is a graduate of the Faculty of Engineering where he studied Electrical Engineering, with a specialty in Systems Engineering from the University of Ottawa. For his capstone project, he was part of a team that designed a device that helped physiotherapists rehabilitate stroke victims. He has been a member of HEPRU since 2018 and has assisted with occupational heat stress studies as well as worked on studies in partnership with SmartCone Technologies Inc. He is currently supervised by Dr. Glen Kenny and Dr. Gregory McGarr. Theo plans to combine his interests on Electrical Engineering and Human Kinetics by studying the heat related health effects radiofrequency (RF) fields have on the human body
Roberto Harris-Mostert is a first-year master's student at the Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit. He recently graduated from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in The Netherlands, where he obtained his bachelor's degree in Human Kinetics with a minor in Sports and Sport Psychology. For his Bachelor's Research Project, he tested a device designed to quantitatively measure night sweats, which sparked his interest in environmental physiology.
