I am an archaeologist and biological anthropologist who specializes in early human paleoecology. I am currently a Lecturer in the Department of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, School of Health & Behavioral Sciences, Bryant University and a Research Affiliate in the isoTROPIC Research Group at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology.
My research lies at the intersection of paleoanthropology, paleoecology, and geochemistry and combines traditional archaeological field methods with lipidomics and isotope studies to cast new, detailed light on relationships between environmental processes, cultural change, and human evolution. I have an extensive research portfolio and network which geographically spans eastern, southern, and western Africa, the Middle East, east and southeast Asia, and western Europe, and temporally covers the past two million years.
Much of my work investigates the role climatic and environmental variability had in shaping human origins and diversification. To do so, I use a suite of archaeological biomarkers to reconstruct past plant ecology and water availability (plant waxes), anthropogenic fire history (aromatic hydrocarbons), and population dynamics (faecal stanols and sterols). I am also an expert in multiple gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analytical techniques, including compound specific stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry.

Robert Taub
Director of Music, The Arts Institute, University of Plymouth
As Music Director for the Arts Institute at University of Plymouth, Dr Robert Taub is excited about building and leading Musica Viva - a collaborative programme featuring fellow leading musicians as well as colleagues within the University that brings top tier concert performances and broad-based music educational events to communities of all ages in Devon and the South West.
From New York’s Carnegie Hall to Hong Kong’s Cultural Centre, Robert is acclaimed internationally as a concert pianist and recording artist. He has performed as guest soloist with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors, including the MET Orchestra in Carnegie Hall, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, The Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, and many others.
He has also performed solo concerts on the Great Performers Series at New York’s Lincoln Center and other major series worldwide, and has been featured in international festivals, including the Saratoga Festival, the Lichfield Festival in England, San Francisco’s Midsummer Mozart Festival, Aspen Music Festival, and the Geneva International Summer Festival, among others. He has also initiated and led several concert series and festivals, including a highly touted series at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where is only predecessor as Artist-in-Residence was TS Eliot.
Following the conclusion of his highly celebrated New York series of Beethoven Piano Sonatas, Taub completed a sold-out Beethoven cycle in London at Hampton Court Palace. His recordings of the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas have been praised worldwide for their insight, freshness, and emotional involvement. In addition to performing, Robert Taub is an eloquent spokesman for music, giving frequent engaging and informal lectures and pre-concert talks. His book Playing the Beethoven Piano Sonatas (Amadeus Press) is a standard for the Beethoven Sonata literature.
In addition, Taub prepared a new edition of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas for Schirmers Performance Editions, published by Hal Leonard Corporation. He has also performed several “historic pianoforte” concerts in the London area of Beethoven Sonatas, playing pianofortes – 1795 Longman and Broderip, 1816 Broadwood, and 1823 Streicher – specifically associated with Beethoven during his years of composition of particular Sonatas.
He has recorded the complete piano sonatas of Beethoven and Scriabin, as well as works of Babbitt, Schumann, and Liszt, several of which have been selected as “critic’s favourites” by Gramophone, Newsweek, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.
Taub has been in the vanguard of new music, having premiered piano concertos by Milton Babbitt (MET Orchestra) and Mel Powell (Los Angeles Philharmonic), and making the first recordings of the Persichetti Piano Concerto (Philadelphia Orchestra) and Sessions Piano Concerto. He has also premiered solo piano and chamber music works commissioned for him by Milton Babbitt, Jonathan Dawe, Jane O'Leary and other major composers.
During his first term at the Institute for Advanced Study, he initiated a concert series dedicated to the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas. So popular were these concerts that he played each programme three times to sold-out houses; the series was featured in the US national press. In addition, Taub started a lunchtime series of informal discussions about music. In his subsequent two terms, he included chamber music in the concert series, bringing in world-renowned colleagues, with at least one work from every concert broadcast on NPR’s “Performance Today.” He also expanded the popular informal talks to include interviews with important young composers.
Robert Taub is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Princeton where he was a University Scholar. As a Danforth Fellow he completed his doctoral degree at The Juilliard School where he received the highest award in piano. Taub has served as Artist-in-Residence at Harvard University and at UC Davis prior to his time at the Institute for Advanced Study. He is currently Director of Music, The Arts Institute, University of Plymouth, where he initiated and directs the Musica Viva Concert Series.

Robert Whelan
PhD Candidate, Centre for Inflammation Research, Institute for Regeneration and Repair, The University of Edinburgh
In 2021, Robert completed his MSc in Biology at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Specialising in Molecular Genetics and Biotechnology, he undertook two research projects within the Animal Sciences and Health/Bioinformatics and Genomics clusters, collaborating with research teams at Radboud University, Nijmegen and KU Leuven in Belgium. The first used the zebrafish as a model system to investigate the glucocorticoid receptor and innate immune cell migration during the inflammatory response. A later project focused on the taxonomic and functional profiling of zebrafish intestinal microbiome using metagenomic approaches and next-generation sequencing datasets. Today, Robert bridges these areas, combining his research interests in human disease, inflammation, and the gut microbiome and applying them to his present PhD project.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) are chronic immune-mediated conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract. They are common, with a global prevalence approaching 20-30 million individuals by 2025.
The gut microbiome is a critical factor in the development of IBD and there are now several approaches aimed at manipulating the gut flora as therapy including faecal transplantation, probiotics and selective expansion of beneficial bacteria populations using spore technologies. However, we do not yet have the precision medicine tools to refine our understanding of the complex gut microbiome and its interconnection with IBD disease activity to improve the way we choose and tailor microbial-based treatments.
Emerging evidence suggests that inflammation may begin in the oral cavity and spread to the gut as pathobionts move between those body sites, hence there is a need to investigate the oral-gut microbiome axis in IBD.
Robert – alongside PI’s with bioinformatics, clinical and IBD expertise – aims to characterise the metagenome to determine if the complexities of the gut microbiome can be refined and reduced based on oral microbiome data to allow for a simple, quicker and more acceptable form of microbiome analysis that can be carried out in the widest IBD setting. Together, they will use strain-level metagenomics to look at the cross-talk between the oral and gut microbiota in IBD, and functional metagenomics to look at functional correlates with disease progression, outcome, and mucosal healing.

Robert John Young
My research has always been focused on understanding animal behaviour and how it can be used to improve animal conservation and animal welfare. Although, much of his research is applied some of it addresses fundamental questions about how animals communicate, for example. In recent times my captive research has focused on questions regarding “Fitness for the Ark”; that is, can captive (zoo) animals be used in reintroduction programmes and what training might they need to survive in the wild. In the field I have studied primates, maned wolves, fish and birds. I am particularly interested in the human wildlife interface in how sound pollution from mining activities affects wildlife. And in human-animal interactions in urban environments especially how such interactions can be managed. My research approach is both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary as I believe strongly that this is how we will be able to answer the ‘big questions’. Thus, I collaborate widely with researchers that include engineers, geographers, mathematicians, psychologists and sport scientists.
I have always been fascinated by the natural world and the need to conserve it for future generations. Thus, I studied Biology BSc (Hons) at the University of Nottingham (graduated 1989), followed by a PhD at the University of Edinburgh (graduated 1993) in animal behaviour/animal welfare under the supervision of Prof. Alistair Lawrence. I then embarked on a wildlife career working as Research Coordinator for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (Edinburgh Zoo), where I was able to put into practice much of the theory I had gained during my university education. In 2001, I moved to Brazil, as a Professor of Animal Behaviour, to further fulfill my ambition to study wildlife. Here I developed a number of long term research projects on primate species (notably titi monkeys and marmosets), birds, carnivores and urban wildlife. At the beginning of 2013 I moved to the University of Salford to take-up a Chair in Wildlife Conservation.
