Professor Diane Chamberlain

As the Dean of Graduate Research (Interim) I am dedicated to excellence in Graduate Research. I oversee a quality experience for graduate researchers, ensuring their graduate education and research provide new innovative knowledge in an environment where they feel safe and valued. Employability of PhD graduates is a personal priority, being a leader and an exemplar to industry, showing them that Graduate Researchers are a necessary commodity. I have collegial respect and provide service to my HDR supervisor colleagues..

My PhD focused on the epidemiology and clinical management of patients with severe sepsis in Australia. I have interests and projects in critical care practice, epidemiology, workforce, policy, and patient outcome.

My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that teaching and learning strategies and experiences are continuous, summative, and integral to the professional relationships that develop between the students, PhD supervisors, the university, industry, and the wider community. I am a leader and a role model in PhD supervision.
