I am a senior research fellow and acting director at the Centre for Health Equity Training, Research and Evaluation (chetre.org/). I am an applied public health social scientist who is interested in complex real world policy issues. I am co-located at UNSW and South Western Sydney Local Health District. I focus on research that makes a difference at the local level as well as connecting with national and international research, policy and practice. My broad interest is addressing health equity through public policy. My main areas of expertise are the intersections of health and equity with infrastructure and urban planning, and climate adaptation for health with a policy lens. 

I have been involved in over Aus$9.5 mill in funding, including NHMRC, ARC, and Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and other funding including consultancies for Australian and international agencies including the World Health Organisation. 

I am an international expert in cross-disciplinary working to progress healthy public policy. This includes transdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration, and understanding how governance and intersectoral action can be developed to improve health and wellbeing in public policy making. 

I coordinate the Policy Studies course as part of the Masters of Public Health. I am also experienced in teaching and running workshops to progress healthy public policy. This includes different processes like impact assessment, program logic, and realist evaluation. I have run workshops all over the world and nearly all Australian jurisdictions. 

I am involved in several journals, including being (co) Editor in Chief of the new Oxford University Press Open Access Journal, 'Infrastructure and Health: Big Connections for Wellbeing'  

I recently published a book on my work over the past decade, 'Iluminating Policy for Health: Insights from a Decade of Researching Urban and Regional Planning' wth Palgrave MacMillan

My research interests include health and health equity as cross cutting public policy issues, specifically within urban and regional planning and infrastructure policy and planning, and the use of impact assessment to improve public health. I have received research funding of Aus$9 million including fellowships and grants from the ARC and NHMRC. 

Broadly my current research activities are as follows:

- health equity

- healthy public policy / health in all policies 

- healthy urban planning 

- 'health' political science: new institutionalism, governance and urban politics 

- working with local government 

- city deals

- infrastructure planning and delivery

- refugees and asylum seekers 

- housing and health

- pandemics and cities

I am co-located with South Western Sydney Population Health.
