Dr Nicole White is a Research Fellow with the Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation and School of Public Health and Social Work.

Nicole was awarded a PhD in Statistics from QUT in 2011 and since then, has developed reserach expertise in applied statistics across a number of disciplines including epidemiology, genetics and health services research. Her current research focusses on the evaluation of next-generation genomics and its role in clinical decision making and patient-centered care. As an associate investigator with the Australian Centre for Excellence in Mathematics and Statistics (ACEMS), Dr White is also conducting research into the value of big data analytics for informing decision making in health services.

Nicole is an experienced supervisor of postgraduate students, and has lectured a number of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Statistics. She currently serves on the executive committee for the Queensland branch of the Statistical Society of Australia.
