Kate Spencer
Professor of Environmental Geochemistry, Queen Mary University of London
Kate has over 20 experience as an environmental geochemist and coastal scientist. Her work is interdisciplinary and she works with geomorphologists, modellers, oceanographers, engineers and ecologists to provide the fundamental science to help manage sediment and pollutants in coasts, estuaries and lowland rivers. Much of her work explores how climate change (sea level rise, flooding, erosion) and anthropogenic activities impact polluted sediments and the potential consequences for ecological health and the water environment. She has also worked with material scientists and engineers to develop innovative approaches to examine the microscale structure of sediments to help predict their transport and how coastal salt marshes respond to storm events. She has been president of the Estuarine and Coastal Science Association and provided expert advice to Defra, the Environment Agency, the United Nations and the environmental sector on issues associated with sediment pollution, sediment management and historic landfills.

Kate McNicholas Smith
Lecturer in Television Theory, University of Westminster
Kate has a background in sociology, media and cultural studies and gender and sexuality studies. Her research is concerned with queer, feminist engagements with popular culture and celebrity, with a particular focus on television. Recent research explores LGBTQ+ lives and representations; queer fan cultures; social media; gender, sexuality and celebrity; television and society/social change.
Kate holds a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies (2006, Royal Holloway, University of London), an MA in Gender and Women's Studies and English (2008, Lancaster University), and an MA in Sociological Research (2010, Lancaster University). Her PhD research (2014, Lancaster University) combined television studies, fan studies, feminist and queer theory.
Between 2011 and 2017, Kate taught at Lancaster University across Gender Studies, Media Studies and Sociology. Joining the University of Westminster in 2018, Kate teaches television and media theory on BA Television Production, BA Film and MA Film, Television and Moving Image, specialising in teaching on media and representation; contemporary television culture; and audiences.
In 2020, Kate's book Lesbians On Television: New Queer Visibility and The Lesbian Normal was published by Intellect. The twenty-first century has seen LGBTQ+ rights emerge at the forefront of public discourse and national politics in ways that would once have been hard to imagine. Focusing on the small screens of Europe and North America, Lesbians on Television maps the contemporary shifts in lesbian visibility within popular media and, from this, extracts a figure of the new 'lesbian normal' that both helps and hinders those it represents. This book offers a unique and layered account of the complex dynamics in the modern moment of social change, drawing together critical social and cultural theory as well empirical research, which includes interviews and multi-platform media analyses.
Lesbians on Television is available Open Access here.
Kate's current research has two central strands:
- The politics of televisual nostalgia and
- Contemporary representations, rights and social shifts around queer/LGBTQ+ families.
Kate would welcome PhD applications on topic including: LGBTQ+ representation/queer media; gender and media; media and social issues/change; audiences/fandoms; social media and activism/social change; youth media; television studies on themes including: nostalgia; youthification; representation; EDI on and off screen.

Katharina Domnanich
Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Michigan State University
At the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) a plethora of by-product radionuclides will be created that are of immense societal value for a number of disciplines, viz. nuclear medicine, plant biology, material science, astrophysics and stockpile stewardship science. It is an ambitious endeavor to collect these rare radionuclides at sub-nanomolar levels from the vast amount of cooling water, radiochemically purify them, and finally transfer them into a chemical form that is required for the specific applications. So far, the feasibility of ‘isotope harvesting’ was already probed at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). The next step will involve a translation towards the conditions at FRIB, where challenges like considerably increased levels of radioactivity, diluted in a greatly larger water volume will be met.

Chair of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
My research centers around the broader topics of entrepreneurship and innovation.
I'm particularly interested in the social embeddedness of entrepreneurial processes, e.g. networks and tie formation, entrepreneurial teams, and entrepreneurial ecosystems, and address issues around digitization, social innovation as well as high-tech innovation.
Understanding how entrepreneurs acquire resources during the very early days of their new ventures motivated my PhD research. By comparing tie formation in Silicon Valley and Berlin, I showed how the entrepreneurial ecosystems in each of these regions influence how entrepreneurs approach first investors and customers.
As PostDoc, I joined the Research Center for Digital Transformation at Leuphana University Lüneburg, spent six months at the University of Amsterdam as visiting scholar and became an affiliated researcher at Lund University.
