Associate Professor of Archaeology, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
I, Pavlo Shydlovskyi, born in 1974, am a graduate of the Historical Faculty of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, specializing in History and Archaeology (1997). I have worked at the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the Kyiv Regional Center for the Preservation of Monuments of History, Archaeology, and Art, and the Scientific Research Institute of Monument Protection Studies under the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine. Since 2002, I have been teaching courses in prehistoric archaeology and the preservation of archaeological heritage at the Department of Archaeology and Museology of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. In 2008, I defended my dissertation titled "Cultural Adaptation of Early Hunters in Eastern Europe (18-10 thousand years ago)" to obtain the academic degree of Candidate of Historical Sciences in the specialty of World History. In 2014, I was awarded the academic title of Associate Professor. I lead the expedition of the Department, focusing on the study of prehistoric sites in the Middle Dnieper region. I am the founder of the NGO Center for Paleoethnological Research and the scientific editor of VITA ANTIQUA publishing. Since the beginning of the large-scale aggression by the Russian Federation in February 2022, I participated in the Territorial Defense Service of Kaniv District (March-May 2022) and became an employee of the Ukrainian State Institute for Cultural Heritage, concurrently, to implement the monitoring of archaeological sites during the war in Ukraine.

Pearl Mok
Research Fellow, Centre for Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, University of Manchester
I work with large-scale electronic health databases to investigate topics in epidemiology, using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and ResearchOne. My current research focuses on four areas: mental health of young people, adverse outcomes associated with the use of antipsychotics in people with dementia, the use of prescribing safety indicators to reduce hazardous prescribing, and a new study on post-discharge care after acute kidney injury.
Before joining the Centre for Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety at the University of Manchester, I was based at the Centre for Mental Health and Safety at the University where much of my research was on the epidemiology of self-harm, suicide, and violence. This included working on a 5-year programme investigating the risk factors for suicidal behaviour and violence in young people, using data from the Danish national registers.

Pengju Li
Ph.D. Candidate in Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering
My journey began during my undergraduate years at the National University of Singapore, where I dabbled in the development of a skin prosthesis for amputees. This experience marked my first foray into the integration of engineered materials with biological components – a field that I would later become deeply immersed in, combining my love for science with a dedication to enhancing human lives.
Driven by the desire to delve deeper into this fascinating crossroads of physical science, chemistry and biology, I embarked on my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. In the nurturing environment of the Tian Research Group, I am not just on a career path – I am on a captivating journey. This journey is carefully sculpting me into a pioneering chemist, an innovative nanofabrication and electronic engineer. Moreover, it has honed unique talents within me, transforming me into a dedicated animal caretaker and a proficient specialist in animal surgeries.
Over the past five years, my understanding and skills have deepened. I firmly believe that intertwining diverse knowledge fields is crucial for pushing scientific boundaries. To this end, I have become a steadfast practitioner, collaborating with exceptional professionals, ranging from medical doctors and theorists to artists and entrepreneurs, to advance the frontiers of translational research.
Currently, I am working on optically and electronically mediated systems to address cardiac and neurodegenerative diseases. I look forward to many more milestones in this journey.

Penni Russon
Senior Lecturer, School of Communication, Monash University
Dr Penni Russon is an award winning author of several novels for children and young adults. She brings over twenty years experience as an editor, author and researcher to her teaching and research in Writing and Publishing at UTS. As well as writing fiction, she's applied her knowledge of young adult readerships to internationally recognised collaborative research in youth mental health. Her doctoral research involved designing and developing comics for use in youth mental health. This research has taken her to conferences around the world and has positively impacted the lives of young people through online mental health service delivery in Europe and North America as well as Australia.
Penni's research sits at the intersection of reading and writing, with an interest in the way texts generate meanings, in particular through readers embodied responses to gaps in the telling and the traces of the author residual in the text (such as the wobbliness of the hand drawn line in comics or the quality we call 'voice' in prose fiction). She is also interested in the way communities form around texts, whether through communities of practice in the classroom, or networking through and around literary and aesthetic reading and writing in 'intimate publics'. She is fascinated by liminality, the in-between spaces where meanings are contested and negotiated.

Pete Wilde
Emeritus Fellow, Bioscience, Quadram Institute
I graduated with a degree in Biophysics from the University of East Anglia in 1985, and began my research career at the Institute of Food Research in the same year, working on the dielectric spectroscopy of protein systems. Since then my main research interest has been relating to the interfacial properties of surface-active food components with functional properties of foods. My initial research was to determine how molecular structure and properties influence interfacial behaviour, which in turn controls bulk functional behaviour (i.e. foam and emulsion stability). My main interest was to understand how proteins adsorb at interfaces, how they interact with surfactants and emulsifiers, what structural changes take place and how this affects interfacial tension, interfacial rheology, adsorbed layer dynamics and subsequent foam and emulsion properties.
My research focus has gradually changed over the years, and now the main aims of my research are to understand how the microstructure of food changes during digestion and the impact of this on health. I am interested in how the molecular and interfacial properties influence the fundamental mechanisms that control the texture breakdown and digestion of food emulsion systems in order to develop strategies for improving the nutritional impact of dietary fats. This includes investigating the key interfacial and colloidal mechanisms underpinning the digestion and absorption of dietary fat, and how this may impact on physiological responses such as satiety, serum lipids and cholesterol.
I also have a broader interest in how the different length scales of structure in food influence the way it is digested. I firmly believe that the structure of the food we eat is the single most important factor determining the health outcomes of our diet. By understanding the relationship between food structure and health, we can understand how foods can be designed to control the rate and extent of digestion and delivery of beneficial compounds to the microbiota. Controlling the kinetics of digestion and fermentation can lead to positive health benefits such as improved glucose, lipid and insulin response and promotion of satiety. These will ultimately lead to improved outcomes in individuals in terms of obesity, type 2 diabetes and related metabolic conditions.
I have published over 135 papers (h-index = 40, average citations = 33 per paper) and presented approximately 15 invited lectures at international meetings. I am a member of the Food Group Committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry. I am on the editorial board of Food Hydrocolloids and Colloids and Interfaces.

The silicone bands are designed to minimize the potential impact of carrying an external marking device and are currently in use on African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) at Bristol Zoo, UK and in the wild in South Africa. More recently, together with colleagues in the Computer Science Department at the University of Bristol, he has developed a computer vision system for the automatic recognition of African penguins.
