Alice is a registered dietitian and Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. Her research interests include the relationship between sleep, nutrition, and health behaviours.

Zohreh Sajadi is an RTP Scholarship recipient and PhD candidate at The University of Sydney, researching the interplay between nutrition, sleep, chronotype, and circadian rhythms. Her work focuses on how meal timing and lifestyle behaviours influence sleep and metabolic health across different chronotypes.

Ishrat Jahan, PhD candidate at the University of Queensland, focusing on sleep health and its impact on the physical and social and emotional wellbeing of First Nations adolescents. She holds a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery and a Master of Public Health from Bangladesh. With over five years of experience in public health research, she has contributed to improving health service delivery in rural regions of Bangladesh. She has published peer-reviewed articles in her areas of interest. Her work has informed evidence-based approaches to addressing health inequities in low-resource settings, which she now extends to Indigenous health research in Australia.

Dr Prerna Varma is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychological Sciences, Monash University, where her research sits at the intersections of sleep, circadian biology, digital innovations and health equity. Her work particularly focuses on translating sleep science into personalised, practical, and culturally responsive tools for real-world settings, for populations such as shift workers and underserved communities. Dr Varma is a co-developer of SleepSync, a personalised sleep-wake management platform designed to support healthier work and recovery patterns in shift workers. Her work demonstrates partnerships with industries and communities, with a strong commitment to co-design, impact, and inclusive health solutions.

Shuying Yu, PhD, is a Research Data Scientist within Medical Affairs at Resmed, where she leads research using real-world, behavioral, and clinical data to generate evidence on sleep health, patient experiences, and health outcomes. A neuroscientist by training, she brings more than a decade of research experience spanning brain aging, cognition, women's health, and sleep health. Her work integrates scientific and data-driven approaches to understand factors shaping sleep health across diverse populations and translate complex health data into meaningful evidence that advances research, clinical understanding, and patient outcomes.

Dr. Lionel Rayward is a Postdoctoral Researcher and Sessional Academic at QUT. On completing his Bachelor of Engineering (Medical) in 2018, he took on PhD studies with the Biomechanics and spine research group working on a collaborative project with Sealy Australia, applying computational modelling to understand the human-mattress interaction during sleep. Upon completing his PhD in 2023, he took on a role as a postdoctoral researcher in the newly established QUT – Sealy centre for sleep and biomechanics research, to continue research in sleep ergonomics.

Dr Rosie Jackson is a postdoctoral research fellow and NZ registered dietitian at Department of Medicine, University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. Rosie works within the child and teen sleep research team, where her research focuses on the interplay between sleep and health behaviours such as diet, physical activity and digital screen use.
