Biography

Dr. Mohajer is a senior researcher with an outstanding national and international track record of evidence that aims to change policy and practice to benefit people, families, and communities.

Mohajer has demonstrable expertise in stakeholder engagement, partnership building, and multi-group research collaborations. He has demonstrated capacity to work effectively in complex organisational contexts to enable the organisational settings and cultures to support research excellence. Mohajer has strong commitment to cross-faculty, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and has a track record of leading meaningful research engagement across both health and tertiary sectors.

Mohajer is highly skilled in the design, implementation, analysis, and interpretation of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method research related to health interventions, health policy, and family models of health and wellbeing. Mohajer works and partners with universities, health research networks, non-profit organisations, industry, and government.

Mohajer holds a PhD in child and adolescent health from Deakin University (Melbourne-Australia) in collaboration with Bristol University (United Kingdom – Britain). He aims to be a free thinker and continues to explore various disciplines of knowledge such as applied statistics, behavioural neuroscience, psychoanalysis, philosophy, family health, psychology, public health, comparative theology and whatever comes to mind. Mohajer's academic research began in 2018, and he continues to have major role in the conceptualization, design, and writing of various research grants (e.g., National Health and Medical Research Council, Australian Research Council, Philanthropy, Research Consultancies, Industry Partnerships, etc.). Mohajer continues to utilize his professional skills to provide service to Academic Discipline, University, Students, and broader Australian Communities and beyond.

Mohajer is highly committed to ongoing reflective practice and infinite self-development, through identifying strengths and challenging blind spots and biases. He aspires to motivate the self and others with respect, understanding and empathy.

At a personal and community level, Mohajer is proudly Australian by citizenship, Iraqi by birth and Iranian by identity, speaking several languages and peacefully lives and productively works on Wurrundjeri Country. Mohajer affiliates with the Islamic faith and proudly leads congregational recitations of the Quran, Zyarat Ahlul-Bait, Duas, and Imam Hussein poems. Mohajer's professional and community contributions were recognized through the inaugural Victorian Multicultural Honour presented by the Hon. Ros Spence MP, Minister for Multicultural Affairs. Mohajer’s experience of migration and interaction with culturally diverse people considerably contributes to his cross-cultural awareness and shapes his global vision of equality and social justice for all human beings.
