Priya Kannan 教授于新西兰奥塔哥大学取得物理治疗学（妇女健康）研究式硕士及博士学位。其研究主要专注于透过脑部刺激技术，对尿失禁（尤其因中风及巴金森症引发的神经源性膀胱过度活动症）进行保守治疗。她的研究领域亦涵盖身心介入疗法、针对青年至老年女性压力性尿失禁的生物反馈治疗，以及慢性盆腔疼痛（包括经痛）的非药物治疗。
她曾参与多项由研究资助局资助的计划，包括优配研究金及卫生医学研究基金，研究经颅磁刺激于膀胱功能障碍的应用，以及生物回馈辅助盆底肌训练于尿失禁的治疗效果。其研究成果获国际学界认可，尤其在澳洲备受推崇。她在一次科学会议上发表的研究成果，使她于澳洲物理治疗协会会议中获选为「最佳新晋研究员」。此外，她亦曾获得国际骨盆及妇女健康物理治疗师组织颁发的「杰出演讲奖」。
Kannan 教授曾获得奥塔哥大学国际研究型硕士奖学金以支持其硕士研究；在攻读博士学位时，更获得竞争激烈的奥塔哥大学博士奖学金。此外，她亦曾获新西兰物理治疗组织拨发外部研究经费，并获新西兰毕业女性联盟奥塔哥分会颁授学术交流奖助金以支持其研究工作。
