Biography
Angelo is a Research Fellow at the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC), holds Honours degrees in Mathematical Statistics and Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in Public Health. He is a member of the Injury Analysis and Data team and holds a joint appointment with the Victorian Injury Surveillance Unit (VISU) as Statistical Consultant. Having worked in the road safety and injury prevention fields since 2005, he has developed a high level of analytical expertise in the areas of road safety program evaluation, vehicle safety research from mass data analysis and the linkage and analysis of injury databases. He has undertaken research into issues surrounding the measure of serious injury from Police reports and recommended alternative measures of serious injury derived from linked data suitable for use at the national level. He has specialist skills in road crash data analysis and countermeasure evaluation in the behavioural, vehicle, road user and road infrastructure areas having undertaken key analyses in a range of areas, such as estimation of the effectiveness of speed enforcement initiatives, vehicle side airbags and roadside wire rope barriers. He has extensive experience in applying a wide range of statistical methods and techniques to injury data, including the development and application of advanced time series models examining road trauma trends across various jurisdictions in Australia. He has a particular interest in how administrative datasets are used for injury prevention research and how they can be optimised in order to measure the full range of data and information required to support the injury prevention evidence-base.
