Biography
Amelia is a Research Officer and PhD Candidate and has been involved in research examining the health effects of e-cigarettes, their impacts on smoking uptake and their efficacy as smoking cessation aids.
Amelia’s PhD explores the normalisation of e-cigarettes among Australian adolescents as part of the Generation Vape research project - a three-year (2021-2024) study examining perceptions, attitudes, related knowledge, and behaviours of e-cigarette use among young Australians. Generation Vape is led by Cancer Council NSW in partnership with the Daffodil Centre and the University of Sydney, funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Minderoo Foundation, the NSW Ministry of Health and Cancer Institute NSW. Amelia is supervised by Professor Emily Banks, Associate Professor Becky Freeman (USyd), Associate Professor Grace Joshy and Dr Christina Watts (USyd).
