I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Sleep Research and have been with UniSA since 2000. I am assistant director of the Centre for Sleep Research. My background is in Circadian Rhythms and the way in which they are influenced by the environment, particularly light. I received my PhD from University of Adelaide in 1998.
My research at UniSA to date has covered a broad range of topics within the field of sleep physiology. Basic research projects supported by the NHMRC and ARC have focussed on the relationship between the temperature system and sleep, and the effects of naps on performance. I have also conducted a number of government and industry-driven research and consultancy projects. The majority of these have investigated the effects of hours of work (specifically shiftwork patterns) on sleep and performance, and methods for reducing the fatigue-related risk associated with shiftwork.
