The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

I use multidisciplinary and neuroimaging approaches to understand how the biochemistry of the brain affects how the brain functions in health and disease. This basic science underpins treatment approaches and furthers our understanding of a wide range of brain disorders.
My aim is to use advanced Neuroimaging to further our understanding of the pathophysiology of brain disorders, in particular Epilepsy, but also Sleep disorders, Schizophrenia, the Dementias. In the case of my main research interest (Epilepsy) it is to red
I am a clinician-scientist, with specialist training in neurology and geriatrics, and am internationally-recognised as an epidemiologist and clinical trialist researcher. My work is dedicated to generating highest quality evidence to improve the preventio

Summary
I aim to cement my place as the leading clinical and translational researcher in epilepsy internationally. My research and that of my wider group is focused on the integration of high level clinical medicine, molecular genetics and cutting-edge neuroimaging, which is informed and enhanced by clinically relevant basic neuroscience. This integrative model is unique in the epilepsy field.

My research and that of my wider group is focused on the integration of high level clinical medicine, molecular genetics and cutting-edge neuroimaging, which is informed and enhanced by clinically relevant basic neuroscience. This integrative model is unique in the epilepsy field. The Fellowship will give me the opportunity to expand this model and optimally utilize the rapidly developing technologies in genetics and imaging which are the two most important and productive fields in clinical neuroscience. I am in a unique international position to do this because of the clinical cohorts that I have meticulously collected and characterized over the last two decades, working with the remarkable group of clinical and basic science investigators that form my personal research team, and the wider group that I head, supported by an NHMRC Program Grant. This Fellowship will provide for a major injection of additional core genetic expertise to take us up to the next level necessary to crack the challenging problem of the complex genetics of the epilepsies. I wish to increase the impact and reputation of my wider group as the International Centre for innovative and clinically relevant research in epilepsy. This will enhance the reputation of Australia as a place of excellence in health and medical research.Read moreRead less
