I am presently working at Loughborough University in the UK, where I have a Chair in Environmental Physiology and Ergonomics and am director of the environmental ergonomics research centre (www.lboro.ac.uk/eerc). Before this I worked at the TNO Human Factors Institute in The Netherlands.

My research covers two main topic areas, one being Human Thermal Physiology/Environmental Ergonomics, and the other being heat and mass (vapour) transfer through clothing.

Though these are quite distinct subject areas in terms of research methods and knowledge background, they interact in most research application projects, and are then also supplemented with a third area: clothing ergonomics.
