A former prison psychologist, Rohan has a particular interest in self-harm and substance use. He has a clinical doctorate in psychology and a PhD in psychiatry from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College in London, UK. Rohan has experience working in the public and private sectors in direct service provision, secondary consultation, research, health promotion and community education. He has conducted research in Australia, Canada and the UK, and has presented his research findings at conferences in Brazil, Italy, the USA, the UK, South Africa, Malaysia, Canada, Fiji, and Australia. Rohan has co-authored more than 120 peer- reviewed publications and has secured more than $15 million in competitive funding, including a 4-year Early Career Fellowship from the NHMRC to examine suicide and self-harm in young people. He is a member of the International Federation of Psychiatric Epidemiology, the Society for Mental Health Research (SMHR) and the Australian Psychological Society. In 2015 he was named the SMHR’s Early Career Researcher of the Year, and in 2018 he was awarded the SMHR’s Rising Star Award.
