Research interests
My research program focuses on challenging paradigms in respiratory medicine to develop evidence-based clinical tools to ensure patients receive accurate diagnoses and appropriate management of their disease. Harnessing secondary data sources to identify innovative data-driven solutions to answer clinically relevant questions, my program of research investigates 1) methodologies to characterise the growth and development of the lungs across the life course, 2) data-driven approaches to improve interpretation of respiratory outcomes, and 3) the translation of novel outcomes to the bedside.
