Rex Parsons
PhD Candidate and Senior Research Assistant at AusHSI, QUT

Brisbane, Australia
I’m currently a PhD Candidate at AusHSI. My project involves clinical prediction model development. Specifically, I’m working on prognostic models for inpatient falls using integrated electronical medical records data from Metro South Health.
I’ve also been involved with a range of Research Assistant roles at QUT while studying. Most recently I’ve worked on:
- estimating and visualising (in)equity of access to traumatic brain injury care across Queensland. (Supervised by Dr Susanna Cramb)
- developing DSSP: an R-package to perform direct sampling for Bayesian spatial models. (Supervised by A/Prof Gentry White)
In general, I enjoy learning new things, programming with R and python, and applied problems relating to healthcare and biomedical research.
Outside of research, I enjoy riding motorbikes, filter coffee and strength training.
