Background

Paul is a public health researcher with over 15 years of research experience and joined Burnet in October 2012. He currently works as an Institute statistician.

Paul’s academic research interests include young people’s sexual behaviour and associated risk; and applied statistics and quantitative research methodology more generally.

Paul has collaborated with researchers from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and the University of Washington on research examining the association between adverse sexual health outcomes and alcohol use for Australian adolescents as well as other research focusing on adult sexual/reproductive health and perinatal epidemiology.

Paul works across the Burnet Institute in a consultative statistical role, but also aims to continue to build on his research expertise regarding adolescent sexual behaviour and risk in his work at the Institute.
