Dr Mark Kohler
Senior Lecturer
School of Psychology
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.
My research focuses on cognitive and behavioural development and psychophysiology. I have specific expertise in the areas of child sleep and cognition, sleep disorders, memory and learning, and more recently in nature-based learning and the benefits of nature engagement amongst children. I began my current position in 2018, after working as Senior Lecturer and Program Director for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of South Australia since 2010. Prior to this I completed a post-doctoral research position in Paediatrics and the University of Adelaide.
My research has a specific focus on child sleep and cognition, sleep disorders, learning and memory, child engagement with nature, as well as a broader interest in the interaction of child health, lifestyle factors and wellbeing. I currently direct the Wellbeing in Learning and Development laboratory (WiLDlab). I am also a current member of the Environment Institute at the University of Adelaide, and work closely with Resilient Youth Australia and the Jane Goodall Institute Australia.
Honours projects available in 2024 include:
- Investigating predictors of child wellbeing, learning engagement and health in the community. Various topics available.
I am currently not taking additional PhD students as a primary supervisor in 2024. More generally I supervise projects in the areas of child sleep, memory and learning development, nature-based learning and play, and factors that predict child and youth wellbeing. See the WiLDlab website for more information on current projects
