She is an NHMRC Leadership Fellow (2021–2025) and a Chief Investigator for the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Pulmonary Fibrosis and the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Treatable Traits. Her research focuses on supportive therapies for chronic respiratory diseases, particularly COPD and pulmonary fibrosis, with a strong emphasis on pulmonary rehabilitation, telerehabilitation, and ambulatory oxygen therapy.
Her research interests include:
- Respiratory physiotherapy
- Pulmonary rehabilitation (home-based and low-cost models)
- Access to care for chronic lung disease
- Telerehabilitation and digital health
- Symptom management in interstitial lung disease
- Exercise training and physical activity promotion
Her recent publications focus on symptom management, digital self-management tools, treatable traits models, and clinical trials in pulmonary fibrosis and COPD. The body of work reflects a strong trend toward patient-centered, accessible, and evidence-based interventions that improve quality of life and clinical outcomes in chronic respiratory conditions.
Her major scientific awards include:
- Society Medal, Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (2021)
- European Respiratory Society Gold Medal for Allied Health Professionals (2022)
- NHMRC Investigator Fellow (Leadership 1) (2021)
