Professor Kirsten Robertson draws on psychology, public health, and marketing to address pressing societal challenges and improve well-being.

Over a 25-year career, she has lectured across multiple divisions, including Psychology, Psychological Medicine, Oral Sciences, and Marketing, and supervised more than thirty research students, many of whom have gone on to academic careers.
Professor Robertson has published widely in high-impact international journals, collaborated with researchers globally, and contributed to the community through public talks, media engagement, and board service.
