Dr Emily Brindal

I am a problem-solver at heart. I thrive addressing complex and significant challenges. These are the times where I can lean into my skills in critical thinking, research design, and people management and use my strengths of creativity, determination and empathy to seek real-world impacts.

I am always keen to use my knowledge of survey and study design, data analysis, and behaviour for a variety of applications and am passionate about the translation of scientific knowledge and associated science communications. I believe in the value of excellent science and the power of diversity to solve real world problems. I like to work in spaces where behaviour needs to be better understood or improved across any aspects of health and disease management.

I have worked with many external clients and enjoy the insight, application and pace that industry can provide scientists. I enjoy working closely with small and medium enterprise to design scientific solutions to meet their needs while retaining research integrity.

My many years of experience in project and people management extend to a variety of areas, including idea conception to delivery and governance of complex and large portfolios. Recently, I concluded my appointment as Director of the multi-million dollar Precision Health Platform and oversaw successful delivery of key projects across CSIRO.
