Biography

Aubrey joined the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Science in 2004 as a lecturer in exercise and health science having graduated with a primary honours degree from Trinity College Dublin (2000) in Natural Sciences (specialising in Human Physiology)  and a MSc. in Biomedical Sciences form the University of Ulster (specialising in Haematology). Supported by Enterprise Ireland and Trinity Postgraduate Awards he spent some time as a postgraduate researcher in the Dept. of Physiology, TCD investigating the physiology and biomechanics of running, where he also worked as a part-time lecturer with responsibility for delivery of Physiology practical classes to Medicine and Physiotherapy students. 

Aubrey plays a lead role in the delivery and development of science-related modules across all four undergraduate degree programmes in the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Science. The modules Aubrey currently teach are:

  • Introduction to Sport and Exercise Science 
  • Biomolecules and Cells 
  • Exercise Physiology 
  • Human Anatomy and Physiology 
  • Health Screening 
  • Exerccise as Medicine
  • Major Projects
  • Clinical Exercise Physiology 
  • Research Techniques in Exercise Science 
  • Dissertation 

Aubrey is primarily interested in researching cardivascular and metabolic responses to exercise, but also has significant involvement in occupational health research. His principle areas of research interest are:

  • Physiological effects of blood flow restriction and ischemic preconditioning on exercise performance
  • Occupational health of Irish farmers
