My primary research interests encompass epidemiology, public health, and health service utilisation, with a particular emphasis on children and young people. I am also interested in exploring social-spatial disparities in health and health service utilisation, as well as investigating how environmental factors—such as social and physical/climatic features—shape these outcomes. With academic training in Statistics and Epidemiology, I am particularly passionate about applying advanced quantitative methodologies in health research, including biostatistical models, machine learning algorithms, and spatial techniques. My experience includes working with survey data, large routinely collected administrative records (e.g., electronic medical records), and advanced analytics. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with multidisciplinary researchers and research groups both within Australia and internationally. I am committed to translating research into practice and serving the community through multisectoral collaboration.
