Wolfgang Rack
Associate Professor for Remote Sensing and Glaciology, University of Canterbury
I received a MSc in meteorology and a PhD in glaciology from Innsbruck University, Austria, in 1995 and 2000, respectively. From 2001-2006, I was a post-doctoral researcher and research scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (Germany) studying polar land-ice using remote sensing and airborne geophysics. Since 2006 I am employed at the University of Canterbury's Centre for Antarctic Studies and Research (Gateway Antarctica) - first as a senior lecturer and then as an associate professor. I teach and research remote sensing and polar glaciology for both land ice and sea ice. For my special interest in the mass balance of the polar cryosphere I spent 17 field seasons in the Arctic and Antarctica to collect ground data for satellite validation.

Woon Ju Park
Research Scientist, University of Washington
I am a researcher interested in how the computations in the human visual system are influenced by experience. I characterize the building blocks of perception using a combination of visual/auditory psychophysics, eye-tracking, neuroimaging, and computational modeling. I work with both neurotypical and neurodiverse populations (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, blindness), with an aim to find ways that can positively shape individuals' perceptual experiences.

Xuerong Sun
Postdoctoral Researcher, Marine Science, University of Exeter
As a marine scientist specialising in satellite remote sensing, my research focuses on understanding the dynamics of phytoplankton. My work integrates satellite remote sensing, field research, data analysis, and modelling to understand how phytoplankton biomass and community structure envolve over time. My research contributes to a deeper understanding of the vital role of phytoplankton within marine ecosystems and addresses critical ecological and biological challenges through the application of ocean colour remote sensing.
I obtained my PhD in Physical Geography from the State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research (SKLEC) at East China Normal University, under the supervision of Professor Fang Shen, with additional guidance from Dr Robert Brewin, Professor Dongyan Liu, and Professor Yunxuan Zhou. My dissertation, supported by an NSFC grant, focused on developing and refining remote sensing models to retrieve phytoplankton size classes in the eastern China seas, enhancing our understanding of phytoplankton dynamics and their relationship with environmental factors in this region.
After completing my PhD, I joined the Centre for Geography and Environmental Science (CGES) at the University of Exeter (Penryn Campus) as a Postdoctoral Research Associate, working with Dr Robert Brewin. Currently, I am working on a UKRI-funded project Phytoplankton Response to Climate Change (PRIME), where my research on phytoplankton has been extended to explore global ocean and climate change dynamics.
