Sinead Golley joined CSIRO in 2009 and is currently a Post Doctoral Research Fellow working in the Health Behaviour team in Food and Nutrition. Sinead has a background in social cognitive psychology with a broad interest in understanding decision-making relating to health.

Sineads’ research at CSIRO is currently focused on understanding the psychological drivers of food choice, in particular the avoidance of wheat- and dairy-based foods and restrictive diets more generally. Her other research interests include (i) investigating novel psychological factors which may underpin the uptake and maintenance of health-promoting behaviours (ii) understanding the role of implicit cognitive and affective associations on health outcomes and decisions, and (iii) perceived food intolerances.
