Dr Ling is a Research Fellow in the Pharmacy Division of the School of Medicine, in the Faculty of Health. He is currently working on numerous projects within the School, most notably in interactive virtual 3D simulations for students studying in health care disciplines, improving appropriate use of sedatives in aged care with the RedUSe project, and in technical delivery of the Medicines Australia Continuing Education Program.
Biography
Dr Ling graduated from the University of Tasmania in 2006 with a Bachelor of Computing with Honours (First Class), while working part-time in software development. He later continued his academic studies to receive a PhD from the same institution in 2011, for developing a research tool to assist with intelligent analysis of medical data (specifically respiratory test results). He has been working with the Division of Pharmacy in the School of Medicine since late 2011, and as a Research Fellow since mid-2012.

Research Themes
Tristan's research aligns to the University's research themes of Better Health, and Data, Knowledge and Decisions. His research interests, broadly, cover the use of information technology in healthcare; currently this includes research and development of innovative and effective virtual simulation resources for healthcare students, to provide meaningful training, familiarisation and practice in a safe environment. Tristan also has a strong interest in the development of a standardised electronic health record, and in the use of decision support systems that can utilise electronic data for delivering better healthcare outcomes: this area has tremendous potential to improve healthcare professionals' knowledge, disseminate best practice and useful resources, improve health research, and improve the reliability of healthcare delivery.
Current projects
Dr Ling is currently working on numerous research projects, most notably:
- Developing an Educational Simulation Platform currently including:
- Community Pharmacy Simulator
- Hospital Simulator
- Working with the Reducing the Use of Sedatives (RedUSe) Project ,to promote the quality use of antipsychotic and benzodiazepine medication in Aged Care Homes.
