Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD, but is currently at capacity - email supervisor to discuss availability.
I am a trained epidemiologist recognised internationally for my work identifying interventions for improving reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health and nutrition in disadvantaged settings by advancing knowledge in public health practice and translation into global health policies and guidelines. I have published 200+ peer-reviewed papers, including Lancet, BMJ, BJOG, PLOS Medicine, and 10 Cochrane reviews. In addition, I am the author of 11 book chapters and several research/technical reports. I completed my PhD in late 2015 and have worked in perinatal research for more than 10 years. My research has contributed significantly to global maternal and newborn policies, and the significance of my work has resulted in several invited presentations at international meetings as well. Currently, I am a mid-career researcher and Associate Professor affiliated with the Robinson Research Institute of the University of Adelaide and the School of Public Health at the Faculty of Health and Sciences at the University of Adelaide.
I have made sustained contributions to Cochrane as an author, referee, and trainer. I am a current Feedback Editor for the Acute Respiratory Infections Group. In 2011, I was awarded the prestigious international Kenneth Warren Prize from Cochrane for preparing a very high-quality systematic review. My expertise in evidence synthesis has also been recognised through invited membership of five separate Lancet Intervention Review Groups (Child Health Optimising (0-19) Series 2021, Maternal and Child Undernutrition Series 2021, Every Newborn Series 2014, Maternal and Child Nutrition Series 2013, Diarrhoea and Pneumonia Series 2013) and subsequent publications. In addition, I have been appointed as a Technical Advisor to the WHO on three occasions.
My research interests include reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health and nutrition, particularly in marginalised and low-resource settings. I have a special interest in research synthesis, scaling up evidence-based interventions in community settings, and implementation research in health system research. In particular, my work with community health workers and outreach services has contributed significantly to global integrated maternal and newborn outreach policies and guidelines.
My Research
My research ambitions are to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition in low and middle income countries. My research interests include research synthesis, scaling up evidence based interventions in community settings, and implementation research in health system contexts. My work in community health workers has influenced global health policies and programs for disadvantaged population particularly in low and middle income countries.
I am currently involved in a wide variety of studies including:
- Understanding health and wellbeing among Young Aboriginal Population in South Australia
- Pregnancy, maternal and child health in a socially disadvantaged population
- Pre and Peri-concpetion health interventions to improve maternal and child health in LMICs
- Strategies to improve IYCF practices in LMICs
- Nutritional interventions in pregnancy to improve pregnancy, maternal and child health in LMICs
- Interventions to optimise children and adolescent health (0-19 years)
- CVD risk in offspring born after complicated pregnancies
- CVD risk in mothers with complicated pregnancies
