Dennis V. Perepelitsa
Associate Professor of Physics, University of Colorado Boulder
The experimental nuclear physics group at the University of Colorado studies the properties of the strong nuclear interaction, one of the four fundamental forces, under extreme conditions. When ordinary nuclear matter is subjected to sufficiently high temperatures and densities, the sub-atomic quark and gluon particles which comprise it become free and form a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). In the first few microseconds after the Big Bang, all the quarks and gluons which would eventually condense into the nuclear matter we see around us existed in a QGP phase. Thus, studying this phase of matter allows us to explore the properties of the Early Universe. We can create these high-temperature, high-density conditions at particle colliders around the world such as at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) or Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). In these machines, large nuclei (called heavy ions) are accelerated to energies equal to several hundred or thousand times their rest mass and brought into a head-on collision, creating a droplet of primordial QGP.
Our group is involved in the Heavy Ions program at the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC, situated at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC collides pairs of nuclei and nuclei with protons at TeV-scale energies, producing the hottest matter ever made on Earth (over five trillion Kelvin). Within ATLAS, we participate in operational data-taking at the LHC and in offline data analysis. In addition, we are involved in building the next-generation collider detector for nuclear physics, the sPHENIX Experiment at RHIC, situated at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island, NY. RHIC is a versatile machine which can collide a variety of nuclear species and investigate the QGP under conditions closer to the phase transition temperature than the LHC. Our work for sPHENIX includes experimental beam tests of calorimeters, development the electronic trigger system, and simulations work.
My particular research areas are: (1) understanding how high-energy quarks and gluons lose energy as the traverse the QGP using reconstructed jet, electroweak, and heavy flavor probes; (2) finding the limiting system size or conditions under which traditional signatures of QGP formation appear or disappear; and (3) exploring the momentum and spatial structure of nuclei in small collision systems where a sizable region of QGP is not expected to be formed.

Derina Johnson
Postdoctoral Researcher, Trinity College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin
Prior to commencing her PhD under the supervision of Professor Robbie Gilligan at Trinity College Dublin's School of Social Work and Social Policy, Derina spent three years living on the Thailand-Myanmar border. There she collaborated with refugee and migrant groups on culturally appropriate and sustainable psychosocial care programmes for children and youth. Prior to this Derina ran her own play therapy practice in Dublin. Derina obtained her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology from University College Dublin, and studied Play Therapy and Psychotherapy at the Children’s Therapy Centre with Eileen Prendiville.
Derina's PhD research explored the lives of young people growing up in legal and social marginalisation on the Thailand-Myanmar border. Drawing from 11 months' fieldwork, the research provides a glimpse into the realities of growing up in displacement and lack of documentation; as an “illegal migrant”, facing restricted mobility, limited access to education and other essential services, narrow migrant labour market demands, and everyday vulnerability to exploitation and poverty.
The research revealed nuanced insights into the legal and social precarity which characterises the young people's lifeworlds and ways of being in the world, and the normalisation of suffering and struggle in the quest to create a better future for them and their families. Within this extreme adversity, optimism and pragmatism, resistance and endurance, determination and flexibility emerged as key facets of the young people’s engagement in their worlds, as well as their agency and resilience in the face of certain uncertainty.,
Derina continues to work at Trinity College Dublin, as a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Medicine (Paediatrics) and Trinity Research in Childhood Centre, and as project manager of the Horizon 2020 funded energy efficiency socio-economic research project CONSEED.

She was awarded the Association for Political Thought/Cambridge University Press Graduate Student’s Prize in 2015 and was a Norman Malcolm Fellow at Cornell University in 2014.
Désirée’s primary research and teaching interests lie in contemporary political philosophy, with a special focus on the concept of social or relational equality. What does it mean for people to relate to each other as equals, rather than superiors and inferiors? What exactly is wrong with being treated as an inferior? Furthermore, what kinds of political conditions are necessary to protect or enhance social equality, especially that of persons from historically disadvantaged groups? Applying these questions to a concrete realm, Desiree’s research investigates the demands that the social equality of noncitizens exacts on present-day migration and citizenship policy. She has argued that skill-selective immigration policies, which are generally regarded as morally neutral or even desirable, are actually damaging to the social equality of women and low skilled migrants. In more recent work, she has analyzed how the structure of private refugee sponsorship programs could be adapted to better preserve equal relationships between refugees and their sponsors.
Désirée is currently working on a book project, Immigration and Social Equality, which provides a distinctive social egalitarian critique of existing immigration practices. She also has strong interests in bioethics, feminist philosophy, and the critical philosophy of race.
