Dr Suki Jaiswal’s research focuses on the impact of bushfire smoke on eye health. She investigates how smoke alters key components of the ocular surface and how these changes contribute to symptom development, through both exposure and intervention studies. She has led multiple clinical studies examining these effects under moderate to severe smoke conditions and developed controlled models that safely simulate bushfire smoke exposure for precise and safe investigation.
Currently, Dr Jaiswal leads a core project for Natural Hazards Research Australia focused on managing smoke-related impacts on firefighter eye health. She has conducted a qualitative study with Australian firefighters to better understand their experiences of eye irritation and smoke exposure and is now leading a randomised controlled trial to identify the most effective strategies to protect firefighters’ eyes on the fireground. Dr Jaiswal maintains strong national collaborations with fire and emergency service agencies and ensures end-users are embedded in both her research design and participant cohorts.
