Dot Dumuid

Professor Dot Dumuid holds the position of Enterprise Fellow at the University of South Australia's Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition and Activity (ARENA), located at City East Campus. Her research develops novel analytical models to optimize 24-hour time allocation across sleep, screen time, and physical activity for holistic health improvement.

Research focuses on:

• Compositional data analysis frameworks for time-use epidemiology
• Multidimensional health impacts of movement behaviors
• Algorithmic optimization of daily activity patterns

Her publication corpus demonstrates consistent focus on physical behavior compositions and their health implications, predominantly using longitudinal datasets and machine learning approaches. Recent methodological innovations include Bayesian multilevel compositional modeling.

Honors include:

• SA Cardiovascular Research Network Excellence Award (2024)
• Women's Research Excellence Award (2024)
• National Heart Foundation Innovation Award (2018)

She leads international collaborations as President of the Compositional Data Association and Treasurer of the International Network of Time-Use Epidemiologists.
