Thomas McAlpine
Hi, my name's Tom. I work at Curtin University as a postdoctoral research fellow on COMPAS, a suicide prevention program for university students. We are in the middle of expanding COMPAS to other universities around Australia, and my role within COMPAS is largely to enhance the multivariable algorithm we use to proactively detect which students are at heightened risk of suicidal behaviour in the coming months, so that we can reach out and offer support. Some of my earlier work during my PhD sought to disentangle which behaviours have effects on sleep and under what circumstances - known as sleep hygiene. In the future I'm hoping to understand more about the intersectionality between prolonged poor sleep and suicide risk.
