This researcher studies cardiorespiratory fitness, exercise testing, and pulmonary/cardiovascular rehabilitation, focusing on how physical fitness and exercise capacity relate to risk of disease and death from conditions like cancer, heart failure, and lung disease. Work includes both clinical exercise testing studies and rehabilitation approaches for conditions such as interstitial lung disease (scarring of the lungs) and COPD (a chronic lung disease that limits airflow). One widely publicized paper on facemasks during COVID-19 was later retracted.

Publication output was relatively high and steady from 2017-2020 (around 12-14 papers/year) but has declined markedly since 2021, averaging about 2 papers per year over the last five years.
