Conjoint Professor leads the medical physics research group at the Ingham Institute and Liverpool and Macarthur Cancer Therapy centres. She has over 200 peer reviewed publications, has been chief investigator on grants totalling over $15M and has supervised over 15 PhD students to completion. She holds academic appointments at University of New South Wales, University of Sydney and University of Wollongong.
Her research interests are in the use of data and advanced analysis techniques to provide evidence for patient and clinician decisions. This is particularly important where evidence from clinical trials is limited due to trial eligibility criteria and/or there is a lack of representation of particular patient groups within clinical trials. Related to this she has strong interests in how we can use imaging to improve personalisation of patient care, through improving the imaging approaches we use, particularly for radiotherapy and improving the information we can obtain from images.
She leads the Australian Cancer Data Network, a federated data network where patient data remains at local institutions but can still be learnt from as a combined cohort using machine learning approaches. She is passionate about multi-disciplinary collaboration and is always keen to hear from potential new collaborators, both technical and clinical.
