Ms Cham is currently a PhD student at the Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute: Sleep Health, Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia. Her research focuses on the development of a non-contact, bed-based monitoring system designed for the long-term assessment of sleep apnoea in real-world settings. This work involves integrating advanced signal processing, sensor fusion, and data analytics to enable accurate detection of sleep-related breathing disturbances without the need for intrusive equipment, thereby improving user comfort and adherence in clinical and home environments.

I am a grade 2 Sleep Scientist with close to 9 years in sleep. I am a big advocate for patient care and just overall a big science nerd. I have a keen interest in circadian rhythm disorders and REM behavior disorders. I have previously presented on topics such as Nocturia and its relationship with sleep apnoea and the central nervous system. As well as investigations in the use of actigraphy and its comparisons against PSG. I am eager to engage with my colleagues across the nation to help continue growing our amazing and important field of medicine.

Andrew Perkins is a sleep scientist with 15 years’ experience, as a clinical health care worker in a public hospital he has a strong interest in excellence in testing and test methodology. He has interests in advancing vigilance testing, RWA monitoring, Actigraphy, atypical sleep EEG in varied populations and digital health. Andrew enjoys collaborating on these and related topics.

Carley has been working as a sleep scientist at Austin Health for 6 years and has an interest in how sleep and respiratory parameters are measured during PSG. She has previously co-authored a paper investigating the impact of study type and sleep measurement on oxygen desaturation index calculation, published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

Dr. Maya Schenker completed her PhD at the John Trinder Sleep Laboratory (University of Melbourne) in 2023. Her research focuses on the link between sleep and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Currently, she is the research manager and engagement coordinator for an NHMRC CRE grant looking at treatment predictors of exposure-based therapies in anxiety disorders. Her research interest is in furthering our understanding of how sleep influences the mechanisms underlying PTSD and anxiety disorders, and how it affects symptom expression in everyday life. Maya’s goal is to find better ways to prevent and manage these disorders by targeting sleep.
