My research has challenged fundamental assumptions in reproductive medicine. A landmark analysis on diminished ovarian reserve demonstrated that reduced AMH does not increase embryo aneuploidy or compromise live birth rates, fundamentally refining counselling for patients with reduced ovarian reserve (Fertility and Sterility, 2022)ASRM Investigator Achievement Award 2023
At the intersection of environmental health and reproductive medicine, I developed the first high-resolution, AI-enabled exposure model linking satellite-derived PM2.5 and census geospatial data to sperm DNA fragmentation, advancing precision environmental risk assessment in andrology (Human Reproduction, 2025). This work represents a paradigm shift in how we understand environmental impacts on male fertility at population scale.
The Fouks Score, an externally validated clinical risk score, has transformed surgical decision-making in tubo-ovarian abscess and complicated pelvic inflammatory disease (Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology, 2019). Originally developed for acute gynecology, it's now used as a practical decision-support tool across multiple institutions.
Machine learning applications extend across my research portfolio. I've developed US-validated predictive models for utilization of cryopreserved oocytes and return-to-care algorithms that inform prognostication and cryostorage policy decisions (Reproductive BioMedicine Online, 2024). My work in real-time AI for fetal monitoring focuses on cardiotocography analysis during labor, with prospective validation in Australian and international delivery rooms, predicting fetal decelerations 2-3 minutes in advance using hybrid global-local models (ongoing prospective clinical trials).
Beyond clinical research, I'm committed to health systems innovation, developing remote-cycle management frameworks and resource allocation models to address accessibility challenges in publicly funded fertility services. This work, presented at FSANZ 2025, focuses on equity and access in reproductive care (health systems research and policy translation).
