Job title:

Sport and Exercise Lecturer

Biography:

Having completed an BSc in Sport Science at the University of Brighton, Jessica undertook a PhD examining heat tolerance and acclimation in female athletes supervised by Dr Neil Maxwell and Professor Jo Doust within the Environmental Extremes Laboratory. Jessica worked as a technical demonstrator and visiting lecturer at the University of Brighton before joining the Extremes Research group at Bangor University as a lecturer in 2015. Dr Jessica Mee is now a Senior Lecturer in Physiology within the School of Sport and Exercise Science. Jessica’s research aims to enhance knowledge of females across the lifespan, living and performing in environmental extremes. Jessica is particularly interested in developing sustainable and accessible heat alleviation strategies that are simple to administer.more...
