Education:

• Bachelor's degree (institution pending confirmation)
• Master's degree (institution pending confirmation)
• Doctor of Philosophy (institution pending confirmation)

Research Interests:

Dr. Mielke’s work combines multidisciplinary approaches to study lifelong physical activity behaviors and their impact on chronic disease prevention. His key themes include:

• Quantifying disparities in physical activity across socioeconomic groups
• Longitudinal cohort studies on women’s health (e.g., Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health)
• Maternal and child health outcomes in the Pelotas Birth Cohort studies

His recent focus includes leveraging AI for public health mapping and understanding bidirectional relationships between lifestyle behaviors like screen time and sleep.

Grants & Funding:

He leads NHMRC-funded projects exploring optimal physical activity doses and chronic disease prevention. Current grants include:

• NHMRC Investigator Grant (2022–2026): Exploring physical activity doses
• NHMRC MRFF EPCDR grant (2022–2028): Adolescent knee pain interventions

Supervision & Mentorship:

Dr. Mielke actively supervises PhD students in topics like childhood movement behaviors, adverse childhood experiences, and built environment impacts on health. Completed students include studies on device-measured physical activity trajectories and reproductive health.

Labs & Collaborations:

His work integrates with global networks like the ProPASS Consortium for cardiometabolic health research and the Pelotas Birth Cohort teams in Brazil. He also collaborates with institutions like the Brazilian Ministry of Health on chronic disease surveillance.
