Meet the team

The NeuroRecovery Research Team are based at the University of New South Wales and are also part of a broader team of researchers at Neuroscience Research Australia, working on combined projects with the Pain IMPACT Centre. Our team is proud to be a diverse and inclusive group, bringing together people from around the world. We embrace different perspectives, cultures, and experiences, with a balanced gender representation and strong inclusion of LGBTQIA+ communities. We believe that diversity strengthens our team, fosters innovation, and creates a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
