A/Prof Emma Ridley Email and Phone Number

I am an Associate Professor and NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow (2020-2025) at Monash University, Melbourne. I am responsible for the strategic development and leadership of the Critical Care Nutrition Program at the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre (ANZIC-RC). I completed my PhD in 2018 titled “Clinical and functional consequences of energy provided by nutrition in critically ill adults”. My research interests include understanding energy requirements across the hospitalisation period, including the clinical application of indirect calorimetry, as well as the effect of optimal nutrition delivery on short and long-term outcomes in ICU patients. I also continue to practice as a clinical dietitian in the ICU at The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne where I have worked for 19 years.My leadership and research potential has been recognised internationally (European Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Early Career Faculty (2019-2023)), nationally (2011 Churchill Fellowship and 2019 Finalist for Dietitian of the Year), at the state level (2019 Finalist Victorian Premier’s Awards for Health and Medical Research) and locally within Monash University via a Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Advancing Women’s Success Grant and an Early Career Publication Prize. I have international and national recognition as a critical care dietitian (listed as a Top 1% international expert on Energy Intake, Enteral Nutrition, Feeding Methods, Nutrition Therapy, Nutritional Physiological Phenomena, Nutritional Support, Parenteral Nutrition and Critical Care on Expertscape) and have delivered 85 invited presentations (7 keynote/plenary, 41 internationally), authored >110 publications (including in the New England Journal of Medicine and invited commentaries in The Lancet), served as an invited member on multiple conference organising committees and grant review panels (including for the NHMRC) and been the recipient of $11.3 million dollars of research funding with the various teams I work with, including an investigator initiated industry grant of $2.5 million as a CIA (NCT03292237) and a recent 2022 MRFF Clinician Researchers: Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health grant of $1.49 million titled "A national platform for improving quality of nutrition care for critically ill adults and children".Further details about me and the programs I lead can be found at https://www.monash.edu/medicine/sphpm/anzicrc/research/anzic-rc-nutrition-program and https://research.monash.edu/en/persons/emma-ridley
