Biography

My research seeks to advance new understandings of sex, sexualities, and sexual health, especially for marginalised populations. I lead a portfolio of population health and epidemiological research in Australasia, North America, and Africa, investigating diverse elements of sexual health including infection, risk, sexual violence, online dating, and pleasure.
