My goal is to help prevent and alleviate suffering for the sickest, poorest, and most vulnerable people through research and discovery. I try to focus on mental health research for the socially disadvantaged.
I have 9 years of experience applying machine learning and biostatistics to clinical/public health research (27 articles on PubMed +700 citations) and 4 years of experience in clinical psychiatry, where I treated patients. I have general medical registration with AHPRA.
My research includes the areas of poverty, crime, social disadvantage, prenatal drug abuse, prematurity, children with disabilities, mental health, out-of-home care, addiction, Aboriginal Health, communicable diseases, cancer, heart disease, smoking cessation, breastfeeding, health and well-being, health education and aged care.
