Over the years, The Australian Newspaper has named me Australia’s Research Field Leader in Audiology, Speech and Language Pathology (2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2024) and Best in the World based on the “quality, volume and impact” of research in the field (2019, 2023).  

One other researcher at Charles Sturt University was named as well: Clive Hamilton was named as "Living legends: Academics in the spotlight. These are the Australian academics, researchers and scholars who loom largest in public discourse world-wide" (p. 20). Congratulations Clive!
