At Sydney, she has advanced to full professorship and undertaken key leadership positions, including Associate Dean Education and Director of the International Student Program in the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Professor Caillaud's academic interests encompass exercise physiology, muscle physiology, physical fitness, and digital health applications to promote physical activity and prevent non-communicable diseases, particularly among adolescents in Pacific Island nations such as New Caledonia and Vanuatu. Over the past decade, her research has concentrated on health behaviors, developing user-centered digital programs like mobile apps co-designed with youth to enhance physical activity, health literacy, nutrition awareness, and responses to climate change impacts. She maintains international collaborations, including with the University of New Caledonia, on projects addressing obesity prevalence, online health information access, and jetlag modeling. With over 130 publications and more than 3,600 citations, her key works include "Health literacy of adolescents’ responses to a workshop focusing on food, nutrition, climate change and digital technology solutions in Oceania: a multi-site pilot study in Vanuatu" (2025), "Exercise Plus Cognitive Performance Over and Above Exercise Alone in Subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment" (2024), "Food cultures, lifestyles and health of Pacific adolescents: Questionnaire data and anthropometric measurements focused on 11 to 16 years old students living in New Caledonia" (2025), "Exploring the Digital Health Landscape: How adolescents living in urban and rural Vanuatu use online platforms to access health information" (2025), and "Injections of recombinant human erythropoietin increases lactate threshold" (2004). She has obtained funded research grants and earned awards such as the 2014 Vice-Chancellor's Award for Outstanding Teaching and Educational Innovation and the 2013 Faculty of Health Sciences Teaching & Learning Award.
