After undertaking my undergraduate studies I knew that I was still only scratching the surface in my knowledge of human physiology. Consequently, I decided to pursue postgraduate study that ended with the completion of my PhD in 2010. As a physiologist I have a particular interest in lung and respiratory muscle function and have published scientific papers in this area. I am also interested in applying my physiology to ‘real world’ problems, particularly in the area of exercise-induced asthma diagnosis.

Steve’s research interests centre on respiratory muscle function and how respiratory muscle fatigue might limit exercise performance. He is also interested in the assessment of lung function particularly in relation to exercise-induced asthma.
