Biography

Fredrick Zmudzki is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales, holding degrees in Economics from Macquarie University and a Graduate Certificate in Pharmaceutical Economics from Monash University. With over 20 years of experience as a senior health economist and policy analyst, he has worked on a wide range of projects across Australia, Asia, and Europe that cover industry, academic research, and government sectors. His expertise is particularly focused on health economic modeling and evaluation, with an emphasis on social policy program evaluation. Fred's research interests include the integration of health economic methods across sectors and programs to examine the effectiveness of healthcare and social program interventions on a variety of outcomes, including individual, governmental, and wider social impacts. He explores the interrelationships among physical and mental health, aged care, housing, disability, and criminal justice, as well as an increasingly wide range of support services. Recently, his research has focused on the development and application of new data management technologies that advance data linkage and analytics, alongside artificial intelligence and machine learning methods. These data science techniques promise significant social benefits by enhancing the accuracy of predictive analytics, thereby supporting accurate program targeting and identifying intervention points to improve individual program outcomes and overall efficacy.
