Senior Lecturer, Clinical Microbiology, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences
Healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) are those that occur in patients receiving medical treatment in a hospital, long-term care facility or as an outpatient. These infections increasingly involve bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics and are therefore difficult to treat. The organisms that represent the most risk to human health, and for which we have limited treatment options are the ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Actinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter Spp.). My main areas of interest are the molecular epidemiology, transmission and pathogenesis of HCAIs, particularly ESKAPE pathogens and Clostridium difficile. Our group explores how these aspects of HCAIs can underpin the development of more effective infection control strategies and novel anti-infective therapeutics.Past and current projects have investigated:The significance of the host immune response and bacterial virulence to the clinical outcome of bloodstream infections caused by S. aureus including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA).The patterns and transmission of antibiotic-resistance genes in Gram-negative pathogens that produce extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL).The potential contribution of horizontal gene transfer within biofilms to the evolution of S. aureus.Detection and transmission of antibiotic-resistance pathogens such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) in the clinical environment adjacent to patients.The effectiveness of targeted antimicrobial peptides and other novel agents, against specific infections involving antibiotic resistant pathogens such as MRSA (catheter-associated and wound infection), ESBL-producers (urinary tract and bloodstream infections)and P. aeruginosa (chronic respiratory infections) and infections involving multiple organisms (diabetic foot infections).

Associate Professor in American Literature, University of Leeds
I have teaching and research interests across American, Irish and English popular culture, including music, literature, theatre, cinema and theory with a particular emphasis on the interrelations between culture, writing and affect.
Henry James has been foundational for my work in many different ways. James featured prominently in my book On Sibling Love and I have published on the figure of apostrophe and its relationship to mourning in recent James-fixated fiction by writers like Alan Hollinghurst as well as on the relationship between devotion and queer subjectivity in James's short stories.
Cinema and visual culture have played an important part in my other work which has looked, for example, at Fincher's 1995 film Seven in terms of queer theory and more recently at the role of the pair in Robert Mapplethorpe's photography. But my more recent work has focused on Theatre, Irish Studies and creative writing. My work on theatre concentrates on the Dutch Theatre company Toneelgroep, Amsterdam (TGA). I have recently completed a major article about TGA's production of Tony Kushner's Angels in America paying attention to the "presence" of David Bowie's music and persona in their reading of those plays.

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.
