I am a full-time academic (40% research, 40% teaching and 20% engagement) in the MPhysio postgraduate degree at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), continuing pain science research. I am a Senior Lecturer (Level C – aka. ‘Associate Professor’ in the US), and currently the primary supervisor of 2 (wonderful) PhD candidates. I am always excited to meet new collaborators and potential students. To date, I have been on >$1.4 million of grant funding (national and international funding combined) for paediatric pain research projects.
