Biography

I am an experienced academic and a public health physician. I have been working in the areas of public health research and teaching for more than 15 years, both in Australian and international settings. I have a good track record of providing leadership in completing different research and community projects successfully focusing on different aspects of public health and health promotion, securing funding and producing high quality research publications. My research track record includes work on tobacco, non-communicable diseases, global burden of diseases, nursing, health promotion, gender differences in health outcomes, outbreak investigations, mental health, Indigenous health, health and wellbeing of disadvantaged, rural and multicultural population. I am particularly interested in tobacco control at national and global level. I have also experience of managing public health programs in developing countries and engaging multicultural communities to improve health and well-being. I have also demonstrated my academic leadership in teaching public health and research subjects, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, in Australia and overseas. I have been providing supportive supervision to higher degree research students and assisting in building research capacity of academics, early career researchers and clinicians. My experience also includes working with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders, including Government and non-Government organizations, academics, community leaders and general public. I have experience of working at La Trobe University, Deakin University, Australian Catholic University (ACU) and the University of Adelaide in Australia. I have successfully led a number of multi-country research projects, which includes projects in Australia, Bangladesh, China, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Syria, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UAE and UK. Besides my professional role, I am also involved in a number of professional and community organizations as a volunteer.
