MARK STEVENS – history
With Adelaide as my hometown I enjoyed playing sports most of the time through school years. Not knowing what I wanted to do I naturally gravitated to university where I graduated with Bachelor of Science (Hons) at Flinders University in 1998. I then did what most considered was an oxymoron and migrated with my ‘soon to be’ wife to New Zealand to undertake a PhD at The University of Waikato followed by Postdoctoral Research at Massey University with a 6-month fellowship with CNRS in Paris in 2008. By this time we had two wonderful ‘kiwi’ kids and had become stout ‘All Blacks’ fans! In September 2008 I began my current research position at the South Australian Museum (clearly free baby-sitting was the motivation at the time). At the South Australian Museum, I enjoy collaborating with researchers from Flinders University and The University of Adelaide (where I am an Assoc Prof affiliate) that have provided excellent research facilities, and opportunities to co-supervise honours and PhD students. This has been possible through research grants from the Australia Pacific Science Foundation to study bee diversity and evolution in the South West Pacific. Recent ARC success in 2021 has come with a 7-year funded ARC Special Research Initiative hosted by Monash University “Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future” (https://arcsaef.com/).
Some stats on me if you like numbers: since 2003 I have a h-index of 38 and an i10 of 101 from 181 publications with over 5423 citations (see Google Scholar for publication list: https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?user=Zhnqx9IAAAAJ&hl=en).

Mark Taylor2
Research Officer, University of Leeds
Before starting a late career in academia I worked in the field of IT. In 1996 I started a new career path when I came to Leeds to read Sports Science (Outdoor Activities).
After graduating with honours in 1999 I continued in this vein with a PhD which focused on the impact absorbing mechanisms of climbing helmets. Upon completion of my PhD I was employed as a Research Fellow on an EPSRC funded project to investigate, among other things, novel ways to improve the measurement of air permeability and moisture vapour transmission. Since the end of this project I have worked in many areas related to comfort in extreme environments and protection from falls from a height.
My research interests cover the comfort and protection of clothing systems for extreme and hostile environments and the role of textiles in protection in falls from height or from falling objects. This encompasses areas as diverse as the design of waterproof zip fasteners, improving the impact absorption of properties of sports protectors, measuring comfort in outdoor footwear and preventing scalding through firefighter clothing systems. I have also been active in the field of biomimetic textiles, and supervised a PhD on superadhesion using the gecko foot as inspiration. I developed miniature data logging sensors that are unobtrusive enough to allow the measurement of the microclimate in a shoe. Work is ongoing to further develop these to remove wires from the system. I also developed a novel new system for quick measurements of moisture vapour transmission under realistic conditions which was extensively tested by a PhD student.
