Jonathan Rankin, BSc. Human Kinetics
Jonathan is a second year Master's student in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa. Jonathan is studying the effects of exercise and other health behaviours on maternal and prenatal health, by looking at the effects of these factors on the mitochondria of the placenta. His research interests lie in human physiology, obesity, and maternal health, as well as neuromotor control and learning. Apart from his studies, Jonathan works as a personal trainer for the University of Ottawa and is VP Social of the Human Kinetics Graduate Student Association. He enjoys weight training, spending time with family and friends, and attending music venues and festivals in Ottawa. He recently graduated from the University of Ottawa with a BSc. in Human Kinetics, and is excited to further pursue his studies.

Pegah Akbari, BSc. Human Kinetics
Pegah is a second year graduate student at the University of Ottawa. In her undergraduate degree (BSc. Human Kinetics, University of Ottawa) and throughout the beginning of her graduate program, Pegah's research interests focused on the influence of age on our heat loss responses during exercise in the heat. She is now excited to take her research interests in a new direction and examine the possible influence of heat stress on the physical activity behaviors of expectant mothers.
Outside of the lab, Pegah enjoys cycling, baking, and spending time with friends and family.
Pegah can be reached at pakba013@uottawa.ca or follow her on ResearchGate.
