Dr Alexia Bivoltsis

Alexia is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow in the School of Medical and Health Sciences, within the Nutrition & Health Innovation Research Institute, Food Environments Team. Her research is working to understand how the surrounding food environment influences health and behaviour, providing evidence for policy and planning changes to create healthier food environments.

Background

Alexia is a Registered Nutritionist and Accredited Practicing Dietitian. She has a clinical background in chronic disease management and has previously worked in teaching roles within the discipline of Public Health at The University of Notre Dame and The University of Western Australia. Alexia’s PhD examined the evolution of food environments over time in Perth, Western Australia, and the impact this had on people’s dietary intake. During her time at the Kids Research Institute Australia, Alexia contributed to several projects in food access and held various research and governance roles supporting the ORIGINS Project. In her last role, Alexia was involved in building a state-wide uniform and centralised, geospatial database of all food businesses in WA as part of the WA Food Atlas. This project aims to create an online, interactive web-based tool to visualise and quantify the location of all food businesses across WA.
