"My research focuses on the aetiology of cold injuries, primarily frostbite, and vulnerabilities to cold-related symptoms during arctic conditions in humans. The goal of the research is to investigate the role of biophysical factors, principally sex and morphology, situational factors, mainly clothing insulation, as well as qualitative factors, such as thermal perception on cooling physiology during arctic environmental conditions. The outcomes of the research largely apply to outdoor workers, including military and search and rescue groups operating in arctic and subarctic regions."
