Associate ProfessorPhil Tully

I joined Deakin University in 2025 and am based at the Waurn Ponds campus. My research interests span clinical, health, and neuropsychology, with a focus on the intersection of mental and physical health. I examine psychosocial and behavioural factors in cardiovascular disease, including atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and coronary heart disease, as well as modifiable cardiovascular risk factors for dementia and vascular brain health. Current projects also explore transdiagnostic psychological processes relevant to primary care, psychiatry, and medically complex presentations. Broadly, my work aims to improve understanding of how psychological, behavioural, and environmental factors shape health outcomes across medical and psychiatric conditions.

I welcome enquiries regarding research collaborations, higher degree supervision, and interdisciplinary research opportunities. Please contact me via email.
