Student researcher
This PhD began at the Bushfire CRC and was completed in May 2015. Firefighters were recruited from across Australia to help gather important data on sleep behaviour during multi-day deployments. The results are important in managing firefighter health and safety, with this research contributing some of the first data about the sleep quantity and quality that firefighters obtain during multi-day deployments.
Grace is now working at CQUniversity's Appleton Institute.
