Associate Professor Chin Moi Chow
Dr Chow has had a long standing interest in sleep health research with a focus on the impact of lifestyle factors (thermal comfort, exercise, daytime napping, dietary, altitude) on sleep quality and patterns. Dr Chow has mentored many research higher degree students, who are making important contributions to knowledge and will go on to make broader contributions to society.
Dr Chow has a special interest in exploring how diet, exercise and the circadian timing of sleep and waking may influence health. She wants to explore solutions that will promote sleep health and enable the best possible quality sleep time for individuals with sleep difficulties, anxiety or those with disrupted sleep-wake rhythms such as the shift worker. Dr Chow views sleeping well a holistic matter requiring a holistic approach.
Dr Chow is the director of the Sleep Research Team:
