Francesco Moscone
Professor of Business Economics, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Brunel University London
Francesco Moscone leads the area of Healthcare Management and Wellbeing at BBS, where his research concentrates on sustainable health expenditure, exploring potential savings from both demand and supply perspectives. On the demand side, he examines scenarios such as potential savings if the smoking population transitions to reduced-risk products like vaping, if heavy drinkers shift to moderate drinking, and if individuals become more physically active. On the supply side, his research explores questions such as the productivity gains in hospitals if physicians adopt more cost-effective medical technologies.
Francesco is Professor of Business Economics, former Division Lead for Organisations and People, former head of the Centre of Research into Entrepreneurship, International Business in Emerging Markets, former Director of the MBA programs, and former Director of Internationalisation. He also teaches policy evaluation at the University Ca' Foscari University of Venice. He has previously worked at the University of Leicester, University of Cambridge, London School of Economics (LSE), University of Bergamo, and the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart Rome. He has held visiting scholar positions at University of California-Berkeley, University Pompeu Fabra, and LSE. He has worked as health economist for the National Collaborating Centre for Women and Children's Health, and the National Agency for Regional Health Services. Francesco has been co-investigator of a major EPSRC (UK government funding) grant entitled "Semantic Credit Risk Assessment of Business Ecosystems". He has also been the principal investigator on an ESRC (UK government funding) research grant entitled "Statistical Modelling of Interdependence in Economics", and on the UK part of a major EU grant entitled "Biopool- Services associated to digitalise contents of tissues in Biobanks across Europe". Further, he has acted as co-investigator for the grant "Economic Performance and Quality of Life in European Cities" awarded by the Economics Education and Research Consortium. Francesco has served as associate editor for Economic Modelling and he is currently associate editor for the journal Empirical Economics and a Senior Member of ESRC Peer Review College. Francesco is also a co-editor, with Professor Badi H. Baltagi, of Contributions to Economic Analysis, Emerald Publishing. Francesco's studies have garnered widespread global media attention, with over 800 citations and full interviews from North America, Central and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. His work has been featured in various newspapers and magazines, including but not limited to The Independent, The Times, Metro, Standard, Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Bulletin (by Executive), Kuwait News,The Egyptian Gazette, Malina Standard, Politics Home, Presa Latina, La Razon, Dossier Politico, Arab News, La Repubblica, Venerdi’ di Repubblica, Corriere della Sera, Unita’, ANSA, Panorama della Sanita’, Abruzzo Economia, About-Pharma, Il Giornale, La Stampa, Libero, il Sussidiario, Il Sole 24 ore, In Terris.

Francis Nimmo
Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz
I am interested in how planets and satellites have evolved to their current states, and what explains the spectacular planetary diversity we see. For instance, why do the Earth and Ganymede possess magnetic fields at the present day, while Venus and Europa do not? Why is tiny Enceladus geologically active, while its neighbour Mimas is dormant? To answer questions like this requires a combination of spacecraft observations and geophysical models.
I am spending a lot of my time using observations of the icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn to work out their current state and history. For instance, the fact that the geologically-active hot-spot on Enceladus is at the south pole may not be a coincidence: the satellite may have rolled over on its side. If correct, this hypothesis tells us about the structure of the interior of Enceladus. One of the factors that makes these satellites more complicated and interesting than the terrestrial planets is that their thermal evolution depends on their orbits (because of tidal heating) as well as radioactive decay.
Some of my work involves modeling the thermal evolution of planets through time. One constraint on these models is the presence or absence of a global magnetic field: the core has to be cooling rapidly to sustain a dynamo. The reason Venus lacks a dynamo is that it is not cooling down fast enough (unlike the Earth, Venus doesn't have plate tectonics - probably because it is very dry).
This is just a sample of the kind of geophysical problems I'm interested in; to get a more complete idea, take a look at my list of publications.

Francois Guillard
Senior Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering, University of Sydney
Granular materials such as sand and snow have the ability to behave both as solids (in sand dunes and snowdrifts) and as fluids (in hourglasses and avalanches). Dr François Guillard studies the properties and behaviours of granular materials and of brittle porous media, which have implications for industries including construction, mining, agriculture and pharmaceuticals.
"Granular materials are present everywhere in nature and in industry, but they exhibit extremely complex and rich behaviours that we don't yet fully understand. For example, no one knows quite how sandcastles hold together, how we can walk on sand or snow, or what happens inside a box of cereal.
"My research focuses particularly on the behaviour of granular materials when they are flowing, and how they transition between this behaviour and their solid state.
"I'm also studying how brittle porous media - such as rocks and sandstone, snow, volcanic ashes and even bones - behave under load and chemical degradation. I use puffed rice grains as a model material, for example, which can be brittle when dry but become soft and mushy when they stay too long in a liquid such as milk. These principles are of tremendous importance for both natural and artificial brittle porous materials that are compacted under load and soaked in water.
"In addition, I am involved in advancing the technology used to study granular materials. Currently we cannot see the behaviour of the grains below the surface, so I am developing X-ray radiography methods to study in real time and in three dimensions how granular materials flow internally.
"A better understanding of the properties and behaviours of such materials, combined with better experimental investigation techniques, can improve the safety and efficiency of numerous industrial processes, including the construction industry's use of sand, concrete and composite materials; the mining industry's methods of ore extraction and processing; the agricultural industry's storage, transport and processing of cereal grains; and the pharmaceutical industry's bulk handling and delivery of drugs in powdered form.
"I've been working in this field since 2010, and I joined the University of Sydney in 2013. Working here has greatly broadened my research interests and afforded me more direct access to the practical implications of my research. It also provides access to state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities, which is of tremendous help in developing and addressing my research questions."
