A human-shaped manikin designed and built to mimic the human body’s thermal regulation capability in various environments has been a major tool in research aimed at getting a better understanding of how people react to heating and cooling methods. Work led by Konrad Rykaczewski, an associate professor associate professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Fulton Schools, uses the manikin name ANDI to reveal in detail what the changes in humans’ core temperatures and skin temperatures look like in different climatological conditions. A primary goal is to gain knowledge of ways to protect people in extreme heat.
