About

Dr Dalia Tsimpida is a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (AFBPsS), and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). She is currently a Lecturer in Gerontology at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载, where she also serves as the Examination Officer and Employability Coordinator within the Department of Gerontology. Additionally, Dr Tsimpida leads the Thematic Cluster 'Data Skills & Methods' at the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership (SCDTP), overseeing interdisciplinary training and support for doctoral researcher across  four partner universities (Universities of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载, Brighton, Portsmouth and Chichester).

As Faculty Advisor for the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) Student Chapter at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载—the first of its kind in the UK—Dr Tsimpida fosters student engagement in ageing and mental health research. Her editorial contributions include serving as Academic Editor at PLOS ONE, and as Editorial Board Member of BMC Public Health.

Dr Tsimpida's research combines psychological theory with innovative spatial analysis techniques to address complex issues related to mental health inequalities, environmental psychology, and the psychological determinants of wellbeing in ageing populations. Her approach integrates clinical and population health perspectives, with a particular focus on the intersection of sensory health disparities and mental health conditions throughout the lifecourse.

Her work interrogates the psychological mechanisms by which socioeconomic, environmental, and place-based factors shape vulnerability and resilience in mental health, developing evidence-informed interventions to improve outcomes across the lifespan.

Over the past decade, Dr Tsimpida has built a distinctive academic profile that blends world-class research, policy engagement, and institutional leadership—advancing understanding of mental health inequalities and informing responses to depression, anxiety, and psychosocial wellbeing in older adults.

As a Special Advisor at the World Hearing Forum and Consultant to the World Health Organization, she actively contributes to shaping global hearing health strategies and policies, with a focus on depression, cognitive decline, and psychological wellbeing in the context of sensory health disparities.

Her internationally recognised research has earned several awards, including the International Society of Audiology Scholarship Award in 2020 for her groundbreaking work on psychological screening and mental health support in primary care—a significant step toward psychologically informed healthy ageing.
