Bieito Fernandez Castro
Lecturer in Physical Oceanography, University of Southampton
I do interdisciplinary oceanographic and limnological research, connecting small-scale physical processes with ocean circulation, biogeochemical cycles and plankton dynamics. In my current project, I investigate how ventilation processes in the mixed layers of the Southern Ocean modulate the uptake of atmospheric CO2 in this climatically important region.

This work has focussed on tracing the composition of the early hydrosphere and atmosphere through time, and the antiquity and evolution of early life. In 2006, a major research program was initiated, funded by the ARC and industry (BHP, Rio Tinto), on the transformation of banded iron formations to iron ore. Current research is centred on understanding: i) how iron formations were deposited and what they tell us about ancient ocean chemistry; ii) the early history of phosphorus and the co-evolution of life; iii) Precambrian carbon and the origin of ancient fossils; iv) the tectonic and mineralization history of Precambrian cratons and orogenic belts, and; v) the potential role of mineral templates in the development of the first living cells.

Björn Meder
Professor of Psychology, Health and Medical University
I’m a cognitive and behavioral scientist with a background in psychology. My research investigates the computational and behavioral principles that support human learning, search, and decision making. I am particularly interested in how humans actively search for information or rewards, how they make causal inferences based on limited and noisy data, and the cognitive foundations of judgment and decision making. I like computational models of cognition, which I develop and test by running behavioral studies that span across a wide range of age groups. My work also provides several connections to applied research, for instance regarding the use of behavioral insights in policy making and how people understand and evaluate medical risks.
I’m a professor of cognitive and experimental psychology (Allgemeine Psychologie) at the Health and Medical University in Potsdam. In addition, I’m affiliated with the Max Planck Research Group iSearch at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the Center for Empirical Research in Economics and Behavioral Sciences (CEREB) at the University of Erfurt.
