Lecturer in psychology, Liverpool Hope University
Tobiasz is a lecturer at Liverpool Hope University. His research program aims to understand how the human brain perceives the visual world, and how perception is influenced by experience and learning. He studies this question by examining how visual and conceptual knowledge interacts to influence our representations of objects, faces, and scenes. Tobiasz's current research projects explore the mechanisms underlying the role of socio-cognitive factors in the perception of other-race faces. Moreover, he is also interested in understanding the impact of individual and cross-cultural differences on aesthetic experience. The techniques he uses include a combination of behavioural, eye tracking, and statistical methods. Tobiasz holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of Southampton. Before joining Liverpool Hope University, he did postdoctoral research at New York University in Abu Dhabi.

Associate Professor in Criminal Justice Data Analytics, University of Leeds
I am a quantitative criminologist, with interest in spatial analysis, networks and computational methods. My research and teaching is concerned with identifying patterns and regularities in the occurrence of crime, with a view to informing effective crime prevention measures.
As an undergraduate, I studied Mathematics at the University of Oxford, graduating in 2008. I then began a PhD at University College London, as part of the SECReT Doctoral Training Centre and co-supervised between Mathematics and Crime Science. After this, I spent 3 years as a postdoctoral research associate on the EPSRC-funded Crime, Policing and Citizenship project, also at UCL. In 2016, I joined the Department of Security & Crime Science at UCL as a Lecturer, and became Associate Professor in 2021. In 2023, I joined the School of Law in my current role of Associate Professor in Criminal Justice Data Analytics.
My research is interdisciplinary in nature, and this is reflected in the range of outlets in which I have published. Within criminology, I have published in journals such as Criminology and Journal of Quantitative Criminology, and also contributed to a number of edited books. More widely, my work has also appeared in physics (e.g. Chaos, Physica A), network science (e.g. Applied Network Science, Social Networks) and generalist (e.g. Scientific Reports, PLoS One) journals. I have also guest-edited a special issue of Applied Network Science, and organised sessions at international conferences in mathematics, criminology and complex systems.
My work has an applied focus, and its ultimate aim is to develop insights and tools which can contribute to real-world crime prevention. This has led to me collaborating extensively with external partners, including both police services and other agencies. Within policing, I have been involved in projects with West Yorkshire Police, Thames Valley Police and West Midlands Police, all of which have involved the provision of tools that were subsequently deployed operationally. I have also provided analysis and insight to other agencies, including the London Mayor’s Office for Policing & Crime and the UK Home Office Analysis & Insight Group.
I am strongly committed to Open Science, and aim to practice and promote these principles throughout my work. While at UCL, I co-founded JDI Open, which is an interest group focussed on the promotion of open science within crime science. All materials related to my research are made freely available to the greatest extent possible.

Professor of Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences, University of Michigan
Todd began his professional career as a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy where he learned the practical applications of operating a nuclear power plant as well as how to take a submarine to periscope depth. Following active duty, he built on that practical Navy experience by earning a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering with specific focus on how radiation changes the physical properties of metals.
His first post-Ph.D. position was as a staff scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. While at Argonne, he joined the leadership team tasked with developing the Generation IV Roadmap, the document that framed the resurgence of the nuclear research programs early in the 21st Century.
Following Argonne, he joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin. While there, he split his time between establishing a premier material science program at the university and supporting the Idaho National Laboratory. At INL, he led the transition of the Advanced Test Reactor into a national user facility, creating a unique distributed network of national research facilities working together to support novel research ideas brought by universities and private industry. He also ran a six-institution Energy Frontier Research Center focused on answering fundamental questions about heat transfer in nuclear fuel.
From 2013-2016, he helped lead the Idaho National Laboratory as the Deputy Laboratory Director for Science & Technology, including being an important contributor to the development of the Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) initiative announced at the White House in November 2015.
