Postgraduate Project Opportunities

Dr Sandoo currently supervises two PhD students examining topics related to cardiovascular health. His current research interests centre around the biological effects of lifestyle approaches (e.g., exercise, diet, fasting, sleep, smoking etc.) on cardiovascular health. He is particularly interested in understanding the physiological changes to the cardiovascular system in females before, during and after pregnancy as well as other aspects of female health and performance. He encourages students to discuss potential Masters by Research (MRes) and PhD project ideas. He has a relaxed and easy-going supervision style and is open to developing ideas that students may have.
