I am an associate professor at the Centre for Wellbeing Science within the University of Melbourne's Graduate School of Education. My research draws on multiple fields of inquiry, including health, positive, social, personality, and developmental psychology, and public health to address the question of thriving across the lifespan. I focus on understanding, measuring, and supporting wellbeing across the lifespan. I work with schools and workplaces to examine strategies for supporting wellbeing, and bridging gaps between research and practice.I have published 3 books, over 100 peer-reviewed articles and chapters, and the new, freely available Palgrave Handbook of Positive Education.
