Adjunct Professor, Department of Biology, Laurentian University
In the broadest sense, I am interested in theoretical and applied questions about the evolution and ecology of amphibian species and communities. For the past 6 years my research program centred on population genetics in human dominated landscapes, focussing on gene flow interruption and its consequences for amphibian populations. Part of this research also investigated the fitness consequences of phenotypic and genetic variation. Amphibian populations are facing various threats in Northern Ontario such as habitat removal, connectivity disruption and EIDs and my research ultimately integrate all these aspects to understand the declines of populations.
In general, my work integrates intense field work coupled with molecular approaches for the analysis of parentage and population genetics, and laboratory experiment to estimate measures of fitness.
Currently, I work as a research scientist with Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Liu’s research integrates chemistry and evolution to illuminate biology and enable next-generation therapeutics. His major research interests include the engineering, evolution, and in vivo delivery of genome editing proteins such as base editors to study and treat genetic diseases; the evolution of proteins with novel therapeutic potential using phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE); and the discovery of bioactive synthetic small molecules and synthetic polymers using DNA-templated organic synthesis and DNA-encoded libraries. Base editing—the first general method to perform precision gene editing without double-stranded breaks, and a Science 2017 Breakthrough of the Year finalist—as well as prime editing, PACE, and DNA-templated synthesis are four examples of technologies pioneered in his laboratory. These technologies are used by thousands of laboratories around the world and have enabled the study and potential treatment of many genetic diseases.

Music psychologist, University of Cambridge
My research examines musical behavior at the intersection of personality, social, and cognitive science. It begins from that standpoint that differences in musical experience are not random, but are rather tied to various psychological and cultural processes. Recently, our work has shown that personality and cognitive styles predict musical preferences and musical ability. We also explore a range of other topics including musical talent and skill in autism, how music is linked to resilience and well-being, and whether music can increase empathy and communication skills.

I am a bioarchaeologist with particular interest in the mechanisms that drive biological diversitfication. My research primarily concerns understanding environmental adaptive variation, skeletal biomechanics, and functional anatomy. I employ 3-D modelling of bones and engineering principles to understand the ways in which human behaviour influences skeletal anatomy. With backgrounds in both archaeology and clinical human anatomy, I became involved in archaeological excavations throughout, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Since 2010, I have concentrated on projects in Philippines, Indonesia, and Eastern Australia, seeking to understand hominin expansion through the region over the last million years. The Maros karst of South Sulawesi is my current research focus and vital to understanding population dispersal and behaviour at the ecological, geographic and cultural crossroads of mainland Sunda (mainland East Asia) and Sahul (Australia and P.N.G.). My other area of interest is environmental adaptations in Senegalese savannah chimpanzees and their relevance to human evolution.
