I am currently working as a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Research on Ageing, Health and Wellbeing based at the ANU Research School of Population Health. Funded through the Australian Research Council, I have contributed to Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research (2014-) and ARC Discovery Project on ageing and health in Australia and China (2016-2019).
In the past 10 years, I led a range of analyses for the Thai Cohort Study (funded by the Wellcome Trust UK and the Australian NHMRC) on health-risk transition, health service use, and social determinants of health (50+ international peer-reviewed publications). I also contributed to analyses of other large cohort studies, including the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children and the 45 and Up Study of older Australians.
My professional contributions include involvement with the Australian Centre on Quality of Life representing the International Wellbeing Group for Thailand (2010-), appointment as a part of the international editor team for the Encyclopaedia of Quality of Life and Wellbeing Research (published by Springer in 2013), and served as an Associate Editor for BMC Public Health (2014-2016).
Before joining the ANU, I worked as an Associate Migration Policy Officer at the International Organization for Migration (Geneva, 2002-2005) drafting various policy papers, contributing to statistics for the World Migration Report, and coordinating the 3-volume training manual: Essentials of Migration Management.
