Priya Kannan 教授於新西蘭奧塔哥大學取得物理治療學（婦女健康）研究式碩士及博士學位。其研究主要專注於透過腦部刺激技術，對尿失禁（尤其因中風及柏金遜症引發的神經源性膀胱過度活動症）進行保守治療。她的研究領域亦涵蓋身心介入療法、針對青年至老年女性壓力性尿失禁的生物反饋治療，以及慢性盆腔疼痛（包括經痛）的非藥物治療。
她曾參與多項由研究資助局資助的計劃，包括優配研究金及衞生醫學研究基金，研究經顱磁刺激於膀胱功能障礙的應用，以及生物回饋輔助盆底肌訓練於尿失禁的治療效果。其研究成果獲國際學界認可，尤其在澳洲備受推崇。她在一次科學會議上發表的研究成果，使她於澳洲物理治療協會會議中獲選為「最佳新晉研究員」。此外，她亦曾獲得國際骨盆及婦女健康物理治療師組織頒發的「傑出演講獎」。
Kannan 教授曾獲得奧塔哥大學國際研究型碩士獎學金以支持其碩士研究；在攻讀博士學位時，更獲得競爭激烈的奧塔哥大學博士獎學金。此外，她亦曾獲新西蘭物理治療組織撥發外部研究經費，並獲新西蘭畢業女性聯盟奧塔哥分會頒授學術交流獎助金以支持其研究工作。
