Senior academic staff of the NSW Injury Risk Management Research Centre are available to supervise (or co-supervise) postgraduate students in a range of topics that are broadly related to their own areas of research.
Professor Caroline Finch
Professor Caroline Finch is Australia’s leading sports injury epidemiologist and has extensive experience in supervising PhD, Masters and Honours students in a range of sports injury data and sports injury prevention areas. She is particularly interested in community-level sport and both identifying and overcoming barriers towards risk management strategies at this level of participation. She is particularly interested in evaluating the effectiveness of safety measures in this context. Caroline also has experience in supervising projects in more methodological and data orientated areas, across different injury contexts, such as developing injury surveillance methodologies, conduct of surveys, applications of qualitative approaches, statistical analysis and data linkage.
Associate Professor Ann Williamson
A/Prof Ann Williamson has a strong history of research in the role of behaviour in safety, especially relating to road safety and workplace safety. She is particularly interested in understanding the role of error in injury, especially in workplace and road safety and in the problem of fatigue arousal and their effect on safe performance.She has supervised a number of postgraduate students (PhD, Masters and Honours students) in both areas. Some of these projects have included the role of error in occupational injury, the relationships between safety perception and safety behaviour, the role of safety culture, fatigue and injury and studies of irregular hours of work and safety.
Dr Julie Hatfield
Dr Julie Hatfield has considerable expertise in the field of road safety, and her behavioural and attitudinal research aims to reduce road trauma. She has extensive experience in supervising PhD, Masters and Honours students in conducting road safety research. Dr Hatfield is particularly interested in 1) the effects of risk perception and risk acceptance in risky driving (particularly drink driving, speeding, and driving whilst fatigued), and 2) the effects of distraction (e.g. from mobile telephones, and in-car audiovisual systems). She also conducts research regarding pedestrian and cyclist road safety. Some of Dr Hatfield’s research is conducted using a driving simulator.
Dr Andrew Hayen
Dr Andrew Hayen has considerable experience in the analysis of population
health data.
He is interested in 1) statistical methods in injury epidemiology; 2)
spatio-temporal modelling and its application in injury epidemiology and
surveillance; 3) methods for analysing linked data; and 4) case-crossover
studies .
