Associate Professor Colin Solomon completed his undergraduate degree (B.App.Sci.) (Hon.) in Exercise Science at the University of Wollongong, and his postgraduate degree (PhD) in Respiratory Exercise Physiology at the University of Queensland. He completed his post-doctoral training in Inhalation Toxicology at the University of California, San Francisco and in Asthma Physiology at Harvard University.

Associate Professor Solomon subsequently had continuous academic appointments at the University of California, San Francisco, the Queensland University of Technology, and currently the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Associate Professor Solomon's research group investigates oxygen distribution and utilisation at the systemic, tissue, and molecular level in responses to physical exercise. Investigations include participants who are physically untrained and trained, across a range of ages, and from both genders. Techniques include spirometry, gas exchange, near infrared spectrometry (NIRS), and gene expression (quantitative PCR).

The group welcome enquiries from undergraduate, honours, postgraduate and post-doctoral students and researchers.
