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

I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Automotive Safety Research (CASR) at the University of Adelaide. With a PhD in Psychology and over 25 years of working in road safety, I have extensive experience in leading applied human factors research aimed at influencing road user behaviour. At CASR I lead a team of committed researchers in the Human Factors research cluster. My research interests cover a diverse range of road safety topics including driver distraction, novice road user safety and licensing, evaluation of road safety programs and communication campaigns, rural road safety, driver impairment (alcohol and drugs), driver fatigue, restraint use, traffic enforcement and penalties, and Aboriginal road safety. My research on a wide range of road safety projects has provided strategic guidance and influenced Government policy across Australia and New Zealand. I have successfully worked with a wide range of agencies including Austroads, New Zealand AA Research Foundation, Transport for NSW, Department of Transport and Planning Vic, Transport and Main Roads Qld, Justice and Safety Directorate ACT, Department of State Growth (Tas), TAC (Vic), MAIB Tasmania, Main Roads WA, AAA, RACV, NRMA ACT Road Safety Trust, Lifetime Support Authority, SafeWork SA and SA Department of Infrastructure and Transport. I was appointed as an inaugural member of the Road User Safety Advisory Committee which is responsible for providing high level strategic advice to the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services on road user safety initiatives across South Australia. While my research covers many areas within road safety, I am most passionate about research that can uncover solutions to improve road safety in regional and remote areas and for young road users/novice drivers.
