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

I am an Associate Professor 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 road safety research cluster. My research interests cover a diverse range of road safety topics including driver distraction, novice/young 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 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.

Research interests

  • Road safety in regional and remote areas 
  • Young/novice driver safety
  • Graduated licensing programs
  • Child road safety issues
  • Development and evaluation of communication campaigns
  • Driver impairment (alcohol, drugs, fatigue)
  • Driver distraction and inattention
  • Risky road user behaviour
  • First Nations road safety
  • Evaluation and enhancement of road safety initiatives

  • Transport in workplace health and safety, including quad bike safety

    Please contact me if you are interested in any of these topics for a PhD, Masters or Honours project.
