Associate Professor Naomi Rogers
A/Professor Naomi Rogers completed her undergraduate Bachelor of Science and Honours degrees at the University of Adelaide and received her PhD in Sleep and Chronobiology at the University of South Australia. She then worked in the Division of Sleep & Chronobiology, Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania for 5 years before returning to Australia. Naomi was a NHMRC Howard Florey Research Fellow and current recipient of a NSW BioFirst award. She currently works as a Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Circadian and Sleep Research Group at the Brain & Mind Research Institute, University of Sydney.
During her time at the University of Pennsylvania, she worked on studies funded by NASA, the Department of Defence and the National Institutes of Health, investigating the effects of sleep deprivation (total and chronic partial sleep loss) and circadian rhythm disruption (e.g. shift work and jet lag). Her current research interests are focused on the interactions of the circadian and sleep systems; neurobehavioural and physiological effects of sleep loss and circadian disruption; and investigating behavioural, technological and pharmacological interventions for sleep loss and circadian disruption.
