Associate professor of child public health, Swansea University
Amy's background is in psychology and she now applies psychology to understanding health behaviour and developing behavioural interventions. Amy is particularly interested in infant and maternal health during pregnancy and the first year postpartum and how varied psychological, social and cultural factors can affect decisions and experiences at this time.
Amy specialises in research around how babies are fed; whether they are breast or formula fed, how they are introduced to solid foods and the impact these decisions could have on their long term eating behaviour and weight. Over the last twelve years she has explored how choices made around how babies are fed are rarely simply those suggested by policy as ideal, but instead affected by a multitude of complex factors, often outside the mothers' control.
In particular, her research focusses on why feeding babies is a public health issue, affected heavily by societal and cultural beliefs and behaviours, and therefore why responsibility for feeding should not lie solely with the mother. Interventions to improve infant feeding choices should instead be targeted at wider society.
Her long-term aim is to develop interventions to support new mothers to feel confident, informed and supported in their choices.
Amy's book "Breastfeeding Uncovered' is published in October.

Associate Professor in Popular Fiction, University of Birmingham
My research interests lie in popular fiction (especially romance). I am interested in genre fiction, publishing, women’s writing, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and migration.
I have published research on:
* contemporary women’s historical fiction
* sexualisation and women’s advice literature
* medieval and modern literary representations of virginity
* class and wealth in popular romance fiction
* chick lit from the Middle East
* imperialism in the medieval romance Emaré
* Scottish popular romance in the twentieth century

I have edited special issues on E. M. Hull's early twentieth-century classic novel, The Sheik, multi-disciplinary approaches to critical love studies, and medieval romance, gender and materiality.
My first book, Representing Difference in the Medieval and Modern Orientalist Romance (Palgrave, 2016) is a comparative study of Orientalism in medieval and modern popular romance and compares the representation of erotic relationships across religious and cultural borders in late medieval Orientalist romance (1330-1450) and British and North American post 9/11 romantic fiction.

Assistant Professor of Physics, University of Tampa
My research interests lie in understanding how the universe begins and evolves through the most energetic astrophysical explosions: gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), supernovae, merging neutron stars and black holes. My main research utilizes GRBs detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a multi-wavelength space telescope dedicated to studying GRBs and the transient sky. GRBs are seen from within our neighborhood of galaxies to the early universe when the rst stars were expected to form (Fig. 1). I use GRBs to explore the history of the universe, and study how nature can form these energetic bursts from either the collapse of massive stars or merging of compact objects like neutron stars and black holes.

Assistant professor, Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology, Carleton University
Our research centers on basic and applied questions related to contaminants in the environment. We use tools from environmental chemistry and toxicology to understand (1) where contaminants come from and where they go, (2) who gets exposed, and (3) the biological implications after exposure.
We explore routes of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a diverse class of over 8000 chemicals. PFAS have strong carbon-fluorine bonds that make them useful in many products, imparting grease- and water-resistance. But the same properties make some PFAS environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative.
Due to the structural diversity of PFAS, we use them as chemical probes to understand the underpinnings of biological transformation pathways. We elucidate enzymes and organisms responsible for transformation to explore biological mechanisms and conditions that may reduce the burden of PFAS contamination.
We also use biological models to study how exposure to one or more pollutants impacts signaling pathways involved in cell stress. Analytical chemistry and biochemical tools are coupled to gain insights into the mechanism of action of pollutants and their biological targets.
We are committed to doing environmental research with broad impact and for use in management decisions. To do so, we frequently collaborate with other academics, non-profit organizations, and government agencies.
