Dr Davide Filingeri BSc, MSc, PGCAP, PhD

Associate Professor

Research interests

Davide’s original research programme investigates:
i) the biophysical and physiological mechanisms that allow humans to sense changes in the temperature and wetness of their skin.
ii) the role of these mechanisms in body temperature regulation and the initiation of thermal behaviours.
