BIO
Rodney’s initial training was in philosophy. He then completed psychological science training followed by a PhD in human neurophysiology methodology at the University of Wollongong in Australia. His postdoctoral research utilized such neurophysiology techniques to explore a range of issues, primarily coupling these with pharmacological treatments to better understand psychiatric illnesses. He embarked on bioelectromagnetics research in 2000, and since then has focused on determining potential adverse effects of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure on human brain function. He is Director of the National Health & Medical Research Council of Australia (NHMRC) Centre of Research Excellence into RF EMF health, Chair of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), led the development and recent publication of ICNIRP’s RF EMF guidelines, and regularly contributes to the community via the provision of guidance on non-ionizing radiation and health.
