Ian Edwards

Associate Professor (Teaching Focused)

I am interested in how the central nervous system helps to coordinate the function of the cardiovascular system. An imbalance in the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic limbs of the autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the development and maintenance of many cardiovascular disease states.

I have an interest in the application of neuromodulation techniques to enhance or diminish activity in either the parasympathetic or sympathetic limbs of the autonomic nervous system can be used to try to restore this imbalance.

I am also interested in the use of heart rate variability analysis and have been involved with projects that have utilised this tool to investigate the role of the autonomic nervous system in exercise and also in patients with post-COVID syndrome.
