PhD student, University of Adelaide
Ana came back to university because she had too many questions on animal behaviour, and not enough answers. She is particularly passionate about helping dogs and humans live together successfully, through education, understanding, and researching the human/canine experience.
In 2019 Ana published her honours research on sales of dogs on gumtree and is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Adelaide. Her current research centers on understanding puppy owners and their experiences, as well as researching the recently discovered effect of the “puppy blues”.
Ana has a background working with dogs who suffer from anxiety disorders and is a graduate of the Delta Institute. She currently lives with a special needs little dog, “Nervous Nina”.

My latest research focuses on applyting collaborative BCIs to visual search. We have proven that by merging EEG signals from several users we can locate and localise targets within streams of images (both temporally and spatially). This topic relates to several different fields, such as neuropsychology, artificial intelligence and signal processing.

Ana Alonso Curbelo's PhD Topic is The Role of the News Media in Perpetuating Electoral Fraud Myths in the UK and US.
Through multiple Quantitative Text Analyses, this project seeks to examine the British and American news media’s role in perpetuating myths about voter and electoral fraud in UK and US elections. The central research questions include whether news coverage is based more on fact or elite rhetoric, the role of tabloids and the partisan press in the UK relative to the US, what policies are linked to fraud (e.g., immigration), and the particular frames used by the media.

Senior Lecturer in Political Communication, University of Glasgow
I joined the subject of Politics at Glasgow in September 2006 from the London School of Economics (LSE), where I completed my PhD in Political Communication. My research focuses on political communication: how politics is mediated and how this affects the conduct and nature of the democratic process. Most of my work has focused on the UK and Scotland but I have also done comparative work about countries including Argentina, Germany and China.
During the early years of my career, I focused on the personalisation of politics, especially its media dimensions. I still work on the topic but, in the last few years, I have become keenly interested in understanding how the hybrid media environment is affecting ‘classic functions’ of political communication and its impact on democracy. I have recently published work about the Scottish independence referendum campaigns and have work in progress about non-party campaign organisations or ‘satellite’ campaigns.
Most of my current work focuses on analyzing how different types of media shape discourse and especially the policy process. This includes a recent paper about Windrush, published in the International Journal of Press/Politics, and a project (funded by NIHR & MRC) about the role of social media on shaping the Chinese government’s policy response during COVID. I have also started to explore how different platform affordances shape to what extent and how topics are politicised.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, HOME Research Centre, Deakin University
Anahita Sal Moslehian is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the HOME Strategic Research & Innovation Centre at the School of Architecture & Built Environment. With background qualifications in Architecture, Anahita's research interests are building design innovation, hospital design evolution, health-promoting building design, social and affordable housing, and family-friendly apartment design.
In her PhD research, Anahita employed a mixed grounded theory methodology to conceptualise the nature of innovation in hospital building design. Her in-depth historical analysis of hospital design evolution has yielded a framework that highlights the main components of the innovation ecosystem, its overall behaviour, the most influential contextual factors and their interplay, and maps generative interactions that support innovation processes over the past 100 years.
Anahita is an EDAC-certified researcher and her passion lies in exploring how the design of our everyday spaces can enhance human health and wellbeing, care, and cure. She is also keen on understanding the relationship between architectural design and its socio-political contexts, in which the built environment is designed and experienced. Although healthcare buildings remain her primary area of interest, her research also encompasses housing and workplaces to better understand the relationship between the built environment and health outcomes. She has applied the systematic thinking, developed during her PhD, to study the design of health-promoting environments, social and affordable housing, and family-friendly apartments within the Australian context. Anahita has actively contributed to four key projects at HOME, including her latest study exploring the impacts of living in compact modular units on the transitioning process of homeless men. Further, in 2022, she collaborated with Biophilia Lab, where her research centred on the application of the biophilic design framework in the design of new mental health facilities in Barwon Health.

PhD Candidate, Renewable Resources, McGill University
Bonjour, Hi (as they say in Montréal). I am a French PhD candidate at McGill University. I am submitting my thesis in July, and will defend my doctorate in the fall (2023). I work on the feeding ecology and its role in contaminant accumulations in North Atlantic killer whales.
Research Highlights:
I am particularly interested in dietary chemical tracers like fatty acids or stable isotopes in apex marine predators. As the ultimate marine predators, killer whales accumulate high concentrations of biomagnifying contaminants like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides, or brominated flame retardants. These contaminants may threaten the whales' health and their long-term population stability. Hence, by measuring various feeding tracers in the whales' blubber, we can use models to reveal their diets. Understanding killer whales' feeding ecology is key to assessing the risks caused by the accumulation of toxic contaminants.
Science Communication:
I am a bilingual science communicator (??/??) and a huge whale nerd. I am the founder and chief editor of Whale Scientists, a platform I created to share early career researchers' passion for marine mammals with the public.

Professor of Theoretical Ecology, Lund University
Animal migration is the most fascinating subject of biology and studying it requires approaches from various scientific disciplines. My own research focuses on flight of birds and more recently bats, where these animals are observed when flying in the Lund University wind tunnel dedicated for this. Here, we use state of the art methods to study wing beat kinematics and to visualize wake vortices and flows near the surfaces of wings. By doing so, we can draw conclusions about the magnitude, direction and time history of aerodynamic forces, and the information obtained help us to build better theoretical models about animal flapping flight. For example, recently our lab, the animal flight lab, discovered that bats use a leading edge vortex to generate lift when flying slowly, which is the same mechanism that allows bumblebees to buzz around between flowers.
Our main inspiration comes from the animals’ behaviour and performance in the wild, and therefore a long term goal is to be able to transfer knowledge that we gain from wind tunnel experiments to help interpret and explain the flight and migration of birds and bats in the wild. I am currently making an effort to initiate a collaborative study of bat migration across and around the Baltic. These goals agree with the goals of CAnMove, and a dream is to be able to track small wild birds and bats during their migrations to find out more about the strategies and limits of animal migration.
