Steven Bird
Associate Professor in Computer Science, University of Melbourne
I study computational methods for analysing human language, in both written and spoken varieties.

I have a special interest in undescribed "tone languages" in Africa and Papua New Guinea.
I have taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses in algorithms, databases, informatics, philosophy of language, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, data mining, web technologies, and machine translation. Programming is an almost daily activity, and I recently published a book titled Natural Language Processing with Python.
I am co-developer of the new "Algorithmics" curriculum in the Victorian Certificate of Education, introducing university-level computer science into high school.

My particular areas of interest are YouTube, Twitter, American politics and the goings on in the American media landscape.

Steven Maltby
My current research focus is aimed at characterizing changes in the bone marrow during disease and infection. During a virus infection, an immune response is rapidly induced. This immune response is required to kill the virus and infected cells. However, the immune response often also causes a lot of the damage and pathology that is observed.
I also work with the NHMRC-funded Centre of Excellence in Severe Asthma. In this role I have a strong focus on communications and translation of research findings into the clinic and education medical professionals.
I completed my PhD studies with Dr Kelly McNagny at The Biomedical Research Centre, University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada (2010). My research focused on the role of CD34 (and the related molecule podocalyxin) in pre-clinical disease models.
