Overview
Background
David is a critical-care clinician-scientist currently dual training with the College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM) and the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA).
He is currently employed as an ICU Registrar at the Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital (Herston, QLD), and will be an Anaesthetics Registrar at Caboolture Hospital in 2020. He is also an Honorary Fellow with The University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research and School of Information Technology & Electrical Engineering.
David has a multidisciplinary background in engineering, medicine, biostatistics, and critical care medicine. He first graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Software) in 2004, and has had industry experience with Mincom Ltd, Deutsche Bank Australia, Sun Microsystems Laboratories, in addition to private software contracting. He completed his Doctor of Philosophy (Biomedical Engineering) in 2010 following a Fulbright Postgraduate Fellowship to the University of Utah's Anesthesiology Bioengineering Laboratory in 2009-2010. He completed one year of non-award studies in biostatistics at UQ in 2011, before completing his Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery in 2015.
He received general medical registration with AHPRA following completion of his medical internship at Ipswich Hospital. David then commenced a Queensland Health Junior Doctor Research Fellowship in 2017-2018 with the Burns, Trauma, and Critical Care Research Centre at the Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital.
He is currently leading trials in nicotine replacement pharmacokinetics in the critically ill, and postoperative use of clonidine to improve sleep in HDU patients (in collaboration with Professor Michael Reade and A/Prof Jeremy Cohen). He is also collaborating with the UQ Cognitive Engineering Research Group on non-clinical research relating to human factors issues associated with equipment displays for critical care medicine (in collaboration with Professor Penelope Sanderson).
