Philip Hulme

Distinguished Professor in Pest Management and Conservation, Lincoln University, New Zealand
My primary research focus is predicting the risks arising from plant invasions and recent work has examined the traits that underpin the success of invasive species; clarifying the main routes by which these species are introduced to a region; assessing their rates of spread; gauging the vulnerability of habitats to invasion, quantifying the impacts of invasive species and predicting the potential impact of climate change on invasive species distributions. However, my research also includes wider assessments of biological invasions and increasingly the importance of human perspectives such as the role of trade and wealth creation on invasion rates as well as the importance of appreciating the non-market costs of alien species impacts. I apply a wide range of approaches to address these issues including modelling, experiments and field surveys with research undertaken across the world from the forests of North America and East Africa to the montane ecosystems of Italy and New Zealand. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.

Philip Slavin

Associate Professor of History, University of Stirling
I was born in St Petersburg, Russia and began my university career at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I pursued two concurrent degrees in History and Violin Performance. I received my PhD in Medieval History from the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto (2008). Before joining Stirling in 2018, I spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the Economic Growth Center, at Yale University (2008-10), three years as a Mellon Fellow and faculty lecturer at McGill University, Montreal (2010-3) and five years as a lecturer and then senior lecturer at the University of Kent (2013-8).

When outside a classroom or his office, I enjoy listening to and playing music (be it Classical, Jazz, Rock or Folk), tasting ales and whiskies (the more obscure the better), cooking, and hiking (the further away from 'Civilization' the better). I love languages and have always been attracted to their beauty, written or spoken.

My scientific creed and research interests

Rather than seeing myself as an historian in the ‘traditional’ sense, I view myself as a ‘scientist of the past’, trained to work across disciplines and collaborate with colleagues in sciences, to promote a unified knowledge and science of the past. In my research, I use historical knowledge as a powerful tool to understand some of the most important issues and challenges that the human race and its wider bio-ecological environment face today.

My principle research interests fall into two main categories. Firstly, I am interested in the history of natural environment, economy, health, and society of the late-medieval world, with a particular focus on the British Isles within the wider North Atlantic context, and Central Asia within the wider Eurasian context. My first monograph Bread and Ale for the Brethren: The Provisioning of Norwich Cathedral Priory, c.1260-1536 (2012) offers a re-interpretation of the decline of feudal system in England, through the prism of food production and consumption by local landlords. My second monograph Experiencing Famine: A Fourteenth-Century Environmental Shock in the British Isles , recently published with Brepols, examines the Great European Famine of 1315-17 (arguably the single worst subsistence crisis in Europe in the last two millennia) as a case-study to answer the most pressing question ‘What creates famine?’ In addition, I have authored (and in some cases co-authored) 34 articles on various topics related to environmental, economic and social history of late-medieval world.

Secondly, in recent years I have expanded my interests in these topics to a global ‘deep history’ perspective, all the way from early hunters-gatherers to our contemporary world. These topics are among the most pressing and complex socio-economic, environmental and political issues that scientists, NGOs and policy makers are struggling with today. Before these issues can be solved, we need a better understanding of their determinants and dynamics in a long-run historical context. I am currently working on two large-scale monograph projects. The one will examine the historical roots of global economic inequality, in a very long run. It argues that we cannot fully appreciate the phenomenon of global economic inequality, unless we study the development of socio-economic and cultural institutions from a ‘deep history’ perspective, which follows this development from early hunter-gatherer societies to our contemporary world. The other monograph is a global history of the single most notorious killer: plague - all the way from the Late Neolithic Period until sporadic outbreaks in the 21st century. This book, too, takes a deep history perspective, to answer some most pressing questions related to the phenomenon of ‘emerging diseases’, such as ‘What makes some diseases so deadly?’ ‘What is the relationship between emerging diseases and a wider bio-ecological and climatic environment?’ ‘What makes those diseases fade and disappear – or, by contrast – re-emerge again?’

I welcome enquiries from prospective research students interested in the environmental, economic, social and medical history of late-medieval and early modern British Isles and other parts of the European and North Atlantic world.

Philip Wiseman

Research Fellow, Astronomy, University of Southampton
I research the most extreme events in the Universe: exploding stars (supernovae) and giant flares from super-massive black holes. I am an expert in using a particular type of exploding star, known as a "type Ia supernova", to measure distances in the Universe. We can use these to infer the expansion history of the Universe and understand what it is made of.
In 2023 I led the discovery and analysis of the largest cosmic explosion ever detected, AT2021lwx, which was 10 times brighter than any known exploding star. We believe that the extreme luminosity was caused by huge amounts of gas from a giant cloud falling onto a super-massive black hole.

He has also contributed to American National Biography Online, which is published by Oxford University Press. His most recent book, RFK and MLK: Visions of Hope, 1963-1968, was published in 2017 by McFarland and Co., Inc.

Goduti recently finished his Ph.D. in history from the University of Connecticut. Under the direction of Dr. Frank Costigliola, his dissertation, titled "'The Durability of a Kennedy': How Emotional Communities Contributed to John F. Kennedy's Core Beliefs, 1930-1963," examines the evolution of John F. Kennedy's core beliefs as he inhabited four emotional communities throughout his life that included his family, education at Choate and Harvard, the Navy, and his time in public office. It investigates how those core beliefs helped shape Kennedy's foreign policy decisions while President of the United States.

I have published ~80 peer-reviewed articles (H-index 33) and 4 book chapters and my work has placed me in the world's top 5% of cited authors for work in Biology & Biochemistry (source: Thomson Reuters). I have received prestigious early career awards (e.g. American Physiological Society New investigator 2010) and am regularly invited to speak at national (e.g. Physiological Society) and international (e.g. EB, ECSS, ASPEN, ICAAP, A/ESPEN) conferences.

Research synopsis: My past work has focused on the identification of central mechanisms regulating metabolism in human musculoskeletal tissues, and where appropriate, using more tractable in vitro cell or where appropriate, in vivo animal models. Combining molecular biology, stable isotope methodologies and detailed in vivo human physiology, I have been a key part of a team that has discovered a number of fundamental parameters that govern alterations in protein metabolism with age and disease. In particular, I have led the molecular analysis in the majority of my publications and over more recent years in becoming laboratory Principal Investigator, been entirely responsible for grant income, research direction and development of state-of-the-art physiological experiments. The current direction of our laboratories work involves the combining of detailed molecular physiology with the application of carbon/ deuterium stable isotope methodologies and more recently, the integration of OMIC (genomic/ metabolomic) techniques to discover predictors of, and the basis for, musculoskeletal decline in ageing and disease.

Philip S. Morrison

Professor of Human Geography, Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington
I am an urban geographer with the following research interests:

The geography of happiness - the impact of place on subjective well-being. I begin with the observation that objective and subjective measures of local well-being are only weakly correlated and the questions this raises about the appropriate mix of wellbeing measures being developed to guide policy at both the national and local level. My empirical work is focusing the way we can measure the independent effect of people's place of residence (at various scales) on their subjective wellbeing, both 'globally' (overall satisfaction) and over a variety of 'domains' (satisfaction in particular spheres of life);
Patterns of internal migration within and between urban areas. Of recent concern has been the extent to which the geographical pattern of flows of migrants are consistent with what we know about the micro motives of migrants themselves and how inferring micro motives from macro flows alone can be quite misleading. Another theme concerns the pattern migration between neighbourhoods sorted by levels of deprivation. The central question here is the extent to which residence in poor areas can inhibit migration up the neighbourhood hierarchy;
The geography of the housing market. Of contemporary interest are the distributional effects of changing relationship between the demographic underpinnings of effective demand and their impact on tenure choice and residential location patterns, and;
Local labour markets. Here I continue to be concerned with the way cities are organised to match the competing as well as complementary demands of labour and capital. My focus on labour market geography examines the uneven way in which firms and labour interact spatially to clear local labour markets and the possible distributional implications of the underlying geography of the labour market.
I also have a long-standing interest in geovisualisation.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computer Science, Princeton University

I am interested in computer networks and security, and why the two don't get along very well. I enjoy being part of all phases of a research project—from sketching ideas on a whiteboard, to implementation, and finally deployment and maintenance. To this end, I have worked in the three research areas listed below. I keep maintaining code I have developed in these research projects, so they are open-ended in some sense.

Keeping bad actors out of the Tor network
As communities grow in size, it becomes increasingly hard to keep out bad actors, and Tor is no exception because the network is run by volunteers. In 2013, I started developing exitmap, a fast and flexible scanner for Tor exit relays. If you have a background in functional programming, think about it as a map() interface for Tor exit relays. It allows you to run arbitrary, TCP-based tests over each exit relay. One of the main tasks of exitmap is to expose and block malicious and misbehaving exit relays. I recently broadened my scope to Sybil relays, sets of Tor relays that are under the control of a single entity. I am developing sybilhunter which is meant to assist in finding and analysing Sybils.

Censorship analysis
Early on in my Ph.D. studies, I became interested in the Great Firewall of China (GFW). I was first exposed to the GFW in 2011, when trying to understand how it blocks the Tor network. I have since revisited the topic several times, to understand how the GFW fails over space and time, and how its active probing component is designed. As part of my work on the Tor network, I also helped characterise—and circumvent—a censorship system in Ethiopia.

Traffic obfuscation
Motivated by my work on censorship systems, I became interested in traffic obfuscation, i.e., shaping network traffic in a way that it is hard to classify and block. I started by developing a small tool for server-side circumvention. It was designed to prevent the GFW from recognising Tor handshakes on the wire. The tool transparently rewrites the window size in a SYN-ACK segment, forcing the client to split its initial payload across two segment instead of one. Back in 2012, the GFW would not reassemble TCP streams, rendering it unable to spot circumvention traffic “protected” by this tool. I then went on and developed ScrambleSuit, a polymorphic traffic obfuscation protocol. ScrambleSuit can protect against the GFW's active probing attacks by relying on a “password” that is shared between client and server. ScrambleSuit has since been superseded by the faster and more elegant obfs4, which is no longer maintained by me.

I am currently a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at Somerville College, University of Oxford, where I now research the interaction between Arabic, Greek and Latin thought in medieval law, with a particular concentration on the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

I completed by DPhil in 2014, at the University of Oxford, on the topic of the relationship between theology, scholastic thought and the early English common law.

Philippa Ryan

Dr Ryan's area of expertise is commercial equity, in particular the liability of third parties to a breach of trust. Her PhD formulated a new classification for Barnes v Addy liability. Her current research explores breach of fiduciary duty in apparently trustless commercial relationships and self-executing contracts, usually enabled by Blockchain technology. Dr Ryan designed and coordinates a commercial equity elective that examines directors’ duties, Ponzi schemes and the trust as an alternative to a corporate arrangement. Her teaching research investigates how authentic legal processes can improve law students' problem-solving. In conjunction with the UTS Connected Intelligence Centre, she is piloting the use of discourse analytics software to improve law students' legal writing skills.
