About
Dr Grace Vincent
Dr Grace Vincent’s PhD began at the Bushfire CRC and was completed in May 2015. Over 50 firefighters were recruited from across Australia to help gather important data on sleep behaviour during multi-day deployments. The results from Grace’s PhD have assisted in managing firefighter health and safety, with her research contributing some of the first data about the sleep quantity and quality that firefighters obtain during multi-day deployments.
Grace is now a senior postdoctoral research fellow at CQUniversity.
Her thesis is available here.
