Tyler Ross

I am a research assistant and I have the privilege of working across a range of projects. Such projects have included investigating cognitive outcomes in older adults following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedures, exploring the effect of virtual reality table tennis practice on real world table tennis performance, and also looking into changes in social cognition and awareness in older adults. I spend much of my time at CAIN working on systematic reviews and meta-analyses regarding a range of topics, such as risk factors associated with cognitive decline and delirium following CABG. I have also been involved in undertaking reviews for the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety at Flinders University, investigating innovative models of aged care implemented in Australia and internationally for a range of subgroups (e.g. homeless, LGBTI, CALD, ATSI). My research interests are broad, spanning the areas of sustainable behaviour, environmental psychology, youth mental health and public health. I am also currently undertaking study to become an Occupational Therapist and I hope to work with both young people with a disability and older adults in the future.
