Dr Harry Mayes
Biography
My personal research focuses on sensory perception, environmental physiology, and immersive technologies. My PhD explored the impact of visual manipulations on thermal perception, drawing on principles from ecological psychology. I am also involved in other areas of physiology, including extreme environmental conditions such as hypoxia and sleep deprivation, as well as clinical physiology.
My professional background includes roles as a research assistant and sport science technician. I now serve as Technical Manager for the Institute for Marine Sciences, where I oversee technical operations, facility management, and contribute to strategic development.
