About me

I am Professor in Psychology, with a PhD in sleep and chronobiology research, and a Master of Biostatistics. From the beginning of my PhD, I have conducted laboratory and field studies with a consistent focus on collaborative research, with key translational aspects. My PhD and early post-doctoral work was supported by the Australian Shiftwork and Workload Consortium, a 10-year collaboration with Australian Rail Industry operators and safety regulators. This work informed fatigue risk management (the over-arching term to describe risks relating to sleep loss and performance impairment in industry) in rail. My subsequent fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania involved designing and conducting a study for the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (the research arm of NASA) investigating methods for measuring stress in astronauts. Since returning to Australia, my research has been largely supported by the CRC for Rail Innovation, the Bushfire CRC, and SafeWorkSA, conducting laboratory and in-workplace studies for rail, emergency services, and health. More recently, I have also worked with mining, construction, and ports, providing research and education to promote fatigue management.

A champion for the importance of sleep for healthy development, I work closely with colleagues in nursing and midwifery, investigating the relationship between sleep during pregnancy and maternal and fetal health. I also have a close collaboration with Resilient Youth Australia, a not-for-profit dedicated to promoting health and learning for school students in Australasia.

I am heavily involved with research student supervision, and training in publishing and other forms of research communication. I was recognised by the Australian Graduate Research Council for excellence in graduate research supervision.

Much of my current work is focused on behavioural coping strategies for remaining healthy despite exposure to sleep loss. In particular, along with colleagues in psychology, nutrition, and activity, we study chronobehaviour – investigating the health impacts, not only of what we do, but when we do it.

I'm Co-Director of the Behaviour-Brain-Body Research Centre (BBB). Follow BBB on Twitter

In our Centre, we have a fabulous Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory. Follow our sleep lab on Twitter.

We also have a Cognitive Aging and Impairment Neurosciences Laboratory (CAIN). Follow CAIN on Twitter.

I am also Editor-In Chief of the new peer-reviewed online journal. “Eat, Sleep, Work”. The Journal showcases high quality research by up-and-coming researchers in lifestyle science, not limited to, but focusing on the relationships between sleep, diet, exercise, work, health and the environment. Eat, Sleep Work welcomes submissions from students and early-career researchers and their mentors.
