 | Biography |  |
Dr James Sharman is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Cardiac Imaging Group. Dr Sharman holds an NHMRC Australian Clinical Research Fellowship to investigate the clinical application of arterial pressure waveform analysis and the role of exercise central blood pressure. He completed his undergraduate and Honours degree in Exercise Science at the University of Tasmania and received an Australian Postgraduate Award to undertake a PhD at the University of Queensland. The majority of these studies were conducted at the Wales Heart Research Institute, Cardiff, UK, where he held an honorary position as a Research Fellow. Dr Sharman joined the Cardiac Imaging Group and Centre for Clinical Research Excellence in Cardiovascular Disease and Metabolic Disorders at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in 2004. He has a joint appointment between the Schools of Medicine and Human Movement. His area's of interest include arterial pulse waveform analysis and ventricular-vascular interaction; exercise haemodynamics.
