Georgia Clarke

Georgia is a recent PhD graduate (2023 with Deans Commendation Award) with research experience in physiology. Georgia’s PhD project was cross-disciplinary, bridging disciplines of: pregnancy, neuroscience and nutrition. She commenced her PhD under the supervision of Prof Amanda Page, A/Prof Kathryn Gatford from the University of Adelaide and Dr. Sharon Ladyman from the Centre for Neuroendocrinology, University of Otago, New Zealand.

Her current research is focused on understanding estimated energy requirements across each trimester of pregnancy. She is also interested in meal timing and circadian rhythms of daily behaviour.
Outside of research, Georgia has extensive experience in running workshops in a classroom and laboratory, as well as course development (co-developed Research Integrated Learning). Georgia is currently a co-coordinator of the Human Anatomy and Physiology course which includes delivering lectures on the reproductive and digestive system.
