Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

Celine is a Postdoctoral Fellow as part of the team at the Australian Dysautonomia and Arrhythmia Research Collaborative, exploring ways in which outcomes can be improved in dysautonomias, with a particular focus on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and arrhythmias. Celine has extensive clinical and research experience as a specialist nurse with a particular interest in improving outcomes in chronic conditions. She has worked in both Adelaide and London, UK and has held specialist Cardiology roles including the setting up and management of nurse led PCI clinics, set up and management of a specialist angina clinic, cardiac rehabilitation consultant, chest pain support nurse and management of a device support clinic for patients with ICDs. Celine completed her PhD in 2019, which focused on innovations in care delivery for Atrial Fibrillation. Recently she has focussed on research related to POTS and is currently undertaking a series of studies aiming to improve outcomes in this condition.
