Research information:
Professor Kenny, PhD, holds the University's Research Chair in Environmental Physiology. His research is aimed at understanding the effects of extreme temperature events (e.g. heat waves) on human health and performance and the thermoregulatory consequences and limitations to physical activity or work performed in extreme environmental conditions. Advancing knowledge on how elderly and individuals with chronic disease respond and adapt to harsh environments and temperature extremes. Generating the best and most up-to-date information to inform heat vulnerable populations of the effect of extreme ambient conditions on their health and safety. Developing effective heat stress prevention and control measures for health specialists and industry managers to protect vulnerable individuals and workers.
