Overview
Background
Sam Harvey is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Queensland Aphasia Research Centre (QARC), The University of Queensland, and a research affiliate with the Centre of Research Excellence in Aphasia Recovery and Rehabilitation. His research focuses on improving the effectiveness, quality and equity of aphasia services. He currently leads and contributes to multiple projects across Australia and internationally that address aphasia treatment, service evaluation and emergency preparedness for people with communication disabilities.
Sam was awarded a Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholarship in 2024 and is a Chief Investigator on several nationally and internationally funded projects, including an MRFF Cardiovascular Mission grant to trial a novel aphasia telerehabilitation program. His work has contributed to clinical practice guidelines and international implementation tools such as the Aphasia Therapy Finder.
Sam is a member of the Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists and the International Collaborative Network of N-of-1 Trials and Single-Case Designs. He was previously a Catalyst Ambassador with the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, an open science ambassador with CSDisseminate, and plays an active role in researcher development and student supervision.
