A/Prof Roslyn Hickson is a Science Leader for Emerging Infectious Diseases, a joint appointment with CSIRO. Her research is broadly on informing policy and practice through the mathematical modelling of infectious diseases, with a focus on emerging and neglected tropical diseases, through the lenses of biosecurity and One Health.
Roslyn completed her PhD studies through UNSW Canberra in 2010, where her research into the critical times of heat and mass transfer through multiple layers was jointly awarded the Ria de Groot prize for the best female postgraduate student. Roslyn then became a Research Fellow with the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health at the Australian National University. In December 2011 she was awarded a four year University of Newcastle Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Roslyn joined IBM Research Australia in May 2014, and during that time she was named one of twenty finalists for the EmTech Asia Innovators Under 35 list by MIT Technology Review in both 2016 and 2017. Roslyn joined The University of Melbourne as an Australian Centre of Research Excellence in Malaria Elimination Research Fellow in July 2018. She was awarded one of the Victorian Young Tall Poppies in 2018. She was a member of the team awarded the 2020 Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Award for Excellence in Research and Development.
Roslyn is lucky to be an active member or honorary for a number of fantastic research centres, including:

Current and recent Research Funding to JCU is shown by funding source and project.
CSIRO - Resilience to emerging infectious diseases
Strengthening the JCU-CSIRO Partnership with respect to emerging infectious diseases and biosecurity
- Indicative Funding
- $40,000 over 1 year
- Summary
- These funds will be used to strengthen the partnership between JCU and CSIRO to expand our collaborations on biosecurity in Northern Australia.

Tropical Australian Academic Health Centre Limited - Microfunding Scheme
Empowering North Queensland?s contributions to a national infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance decision support system
- Indicative Funding
- $20,000 over 2 years
- Summary
- This is a scoping study to determine the information and data requirements for effective and appropriate decision making for infectious diseases in primary healthcare. We aim to better understand the information needs of health practitioners across two remote locations in North Queensland, one remote (Torres Strait) and one regional and (Townsville), and one urban site (Brisbane region). These data identified information gaps will inform the drafting of a roadmap for effective clinical decision-support tools and development of a prototype digital platform for the assessment and management of patients with an infectious disease.
