current masters student trainees

Brodie Richards, BSc

Kristina-Marie Janetos, BKin

Kristina-Marie Janetos, BKin

Brodie is a second-year master’s student at the Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit. Brodie completed his BSc. in human kinetics at uOttawa, and has assisted with occupational heat stress studies, clinical trials evaluating physiological responses to prolonged heat exposure and research on heat exchange across the menstrual cycle in young women. Brodie’s master’s thesis will aim to understand whether ingested fluid temperature negatively effects whole-body heat exchange between young and older adults.

Kristina-Marie Janetos, BKin

Kristina-Marie Janetos, BKin

Kristina-Marie is a second-year master’s student at the Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit. She graduated with a bachelors in Kinesiology from Brock University in 2018. Upon joining the lab, she has assisted incomprehensive research dedicated to understanding how humans perform in adverse environments and the impact of that thermal stress on physiological responses and overall cellular function. Kristina-Marie’s master’s thesis will aim at understanding how passive warm water immersion may become a heat acclimation strategy to further enhance heat dissipation in older adults.

Nicholas Goulet, BSc

Kristina-Marie Janetos, BKin

Nicholas Goulet, BSc

Nicholas is a second-year master's student in human kinetics and is completing his thesis at the Behavioural and Metabolic Research Unit under the supervision of Dr. Pascal Imbeault where he is studying how sleep apnea can have different effects on men and women. He is also supervised by Dr. Glen Kenny at the Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit and assisting in several projects related to understanding heat stress.

Nicholas Koetje, BPHE

Nick is a second-year master’s student at the Human and Environmental Physiology research Unit. He graduated with a bachelor’s in physical and health education from Nipissing University in 2020. Nick’s master’s project is investigating the effects of acute sleep deprivation on younger and older adults’ ability to regulate body temperature in hot conditions. The results of this work will be used to help develop safety strategies for the general public and workers who may struggle with getting a good night's sleep.

Theodore Egube, BEng

Roberto Harris-Mostert, BHK

Roberto Harris-Mostert, BHK

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, BHK

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.
