Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of Texas at Arlington
Dr. Robison's research examines some fundamental questions regarding the human cognitive system. He focuses largely on two core cognitive abilities: attention control and working memory. More specifically, his research tries to understand why people differ in these cognitive abilities. Why is it difficult for people to sustain and control their attention? How do our attention and memory systems interact to give rise to complex cognitive processes? He is particularly interested in determining what psychological and neural mechanisms that drive individual differences in cognitive ability. To answer these questions, he uses a combination of experimentation, psychophysiological measurement (e.g., EEG, pupillometry), and individual differences methods (e.g., factor analysis, linear mixed modeling, structural equation modeling).

PhD Student in Mechanical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin
As an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, Matt has conducted systems analysis research as it relates to power grid operations and sustainability. Currently, he is focused on assessing the role of energy efficiency and demand response in increasing power grid resiliency during extreme weather events. As part of this research, Matt characterizes electricity demand profiles using the ResStock building energy model developed by NREL. He uses the ResStock model to generate building stock that is statistically representative of current residential housing and apply efficiency retrofits and equipment upgrades to investigate different development scenarios. He has also focused on investigating the impact that weather conditions have on electricity demand for historical severe weather events and future climate change scenarios.
Before joining The University of Texas at Austin, Matt earned a B.S. in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin where he worked for several organizations conducting research to inform environmental and energy policy-making processes. After graduating, he worked as an engineer in the energy services industry implementing energy optimization projects at commercial and industrial facilities.

Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
We study how the expression of genetic information is spatially regulated within a cell. Individual mRNA molecules are often trafficked to specific cellular locations. This facilitates robust, localized protein production where and when it is needed. Although thousands of mRNAs are asymmetrically distributed in cells, the RNA sequences and protein factors that regulate this process are unknown for the vast majority of messages. We use experimental and computational methods to understand mechanisms behind this regulation and how disruption of the process can result in neurological disease.

Lecturer in Architectural Humanities, University of Manchester
Matthew Wells is Lecturer in Architectural Humanities at University of Manchester and member of the Manchester Architecture Research Group (MARG). His research uses architecture and visual culture to examine society, institutions, and individuals in the long nineteenth century. Particular focus is given to the intersection between representational techniques, technology, and professional expertise in the built environments of Britain and Europe.
He studied art history at the Courtauld Institute of Art and completed his doctorate in the History of Design Programme at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Royal College of Art. Before his appointment at Manchester he was junior faculty at the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta), ETH Zurich.
Wells is the author of two monographs Modelling the Metropolis: The Architectural Model in Victorian London (2023) and Survey: Architecture Iconographies (2021) and co-editor of An Alphabet of Architectural Models (2021). Recently his research has been published in Architectural History, the Burlington Magazine, JSAH, and the Journal of Art Historiography, as well as contributing to the Paul Mellon Centre’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition: A Chronicle, 1769-2018.
His most recent book, Modelling the Metropolis, provides a new understanding of how Victorian London was conceptualised, debated, and constructed through architectural models. At a crucial moment of the London’s development, models were a vital medium of communication that enabled architects, politicians, and the wider public to conceive the city’s expansion of buildings and spaces. The research was awarded the Theodor-Fischer-Preis (2019) from the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich and commended in the RIBA President's Awards for Research (2017).
Additional research is concentrated in two areas. First, ‘Things of Modernity’, a new history of modern architecture researched through its material culture. Second, ‘Lines of Communication’ examines the relationship between architecture and the new forms of media that emerged in Britain and further afield.
Dr Wells welcomes enquiries from potential PhD students with interests in Victorian and Edwardian architecture in Britain; material and technical history of architecture; architecture and empire in the British World; any aspect of architectural professionalism and construction labour.

Associate Professor of Astrophysics, Stockholm University
My research is focused on the origin and evolution of galaxies, where I am concerned with how galaxies are assembled in the early universe and evolve to become the population of galaxies we see at the present day. Aside from being interested in galaxy surveys, I typically say I have the following overlapping main interests:
The reionization process and the sources that drove it. The infering the neutral fraction of the intergalactic medium, understanding the properties of the first galaxies, Lyman alpha emission, the escape of ionizing radiation, etc.
The circumgalactic medium. What are the thermodynamic properties of 'galactic atmospheres'? Can we map CGM gas in emission, measure its thermal state, figure out where the metals are, etc.
Stellar feedback and galaxy winds. How does energy returned by massive stars interact with the ambient material in the galaxy? How are winds launched and accelerated, and what influence does this have on galaxy conditions and the future of star formation.
The formation of the first black holes. Were the first black holes formed by direct collapse, popullation III star formation, or other processes? How can surveys of massive black holes in the early universe inform this?
Star formation histories and stellar modeling. How can we infer the star formation history of galaxies using spatially resolve high resolution imaging and large wavelength baseline spectroscopy from multiple telescopes.
Nebular diagnostics. How can we infer the properties of warm gas in and around galaxies, and how reliable are these measurements?
My approach to answering these questions is mostly observational. I use mainly the James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope, and the European Southern Observatory, although we use any telescope that can provide unique measurements.
