Dom Wolff-Boenisch
Senior Lecturer, Western Australian School of Mines, Curtin University
Domenik is senior lecturer at the Curtin University in Perth, coordinating the undergrad and postgrad units of hydrogeology and engineering geology as well as environmental geoscience. He moved to Australia coming from the University of Iceland where from 2007 to 2011 he was the Project Director of the Icelandic partner of the international Carbfix consortium. The Carbfix project is about capture of CO2 from geothermal activities and subsequent sequestration into basaltic terrain (www.carbfix.com). Among his responsibilities there was the set-up and direction of a high P/T lab for the execution of experiments related to water-rock interactions in the presence of CO2. Prior to that position he was a Research Scientist at UC Riverside and UC Merced in the US studying the CO2 drawdown capacity of the Higher Himalayas and the biogeochemistry of uranium. Domenik started his career with a PhD in environmental geochemistry from the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz in 1997.

Domenico Vicinanza
Associate Professor of Intelligent Systems and Data Science, Anglia Ruskin University
Having received his MSc and PhD degrees in physics, Domenico worked as a scientific associate at Cern for seven years. His research there mainly focused on the development of an innovative time-of-flight detector for one of the biggest High-Energy Physics experiments for the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva. The detector design was based on Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC), reaching a sensitivity of 70 picoseconds (the highest ever reached) and its use in a large-scale experiment marked an important milestone for particle physics.
As a music composer and researcher in auditory display, Domenico worked with organisations like Cern and Nasa, creating music from scientific data. He has been involved in the application of grid technologies for science and the arts since the late 1990s, chairing the ASTRA (Ancient instrument Sound/Timbre Reconstruction Application) project for the reconstruction of musical instruments by means of computer models using the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI.eu).
His research interests include data sonification and auditory display, analogue and digital electronics, audio recording and studio techniques, sound synthesis, acoustics and psychoacoustics and distributed computing and network monitoring.
Domenico's research has been featured on several international peer-reviewed magazines (Physics Letters B, Nuclear Instruments and Methods, European Physics Journal) and in interviews for (among the others): Financial Times, The Guardian, The Times, BBC, CNN, Discovery Channel, Discover magazine, New Scientist and Scientific American.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Conservation, Zoological Society of London
My background combines academic research of major issues in conservation with practical on-the-ground experience of the management of highly threatened species.
I spent many happy years working with the echo parakeet in Mauritius and the hihi in New Zealand. These projects showed me the power of careful conservation interventions led by passionate groups of people, resulting in beautiful bird species slowly reclaiming their native forests.
More recently, my research has focused on how we conduct this type of work globally. I have been particularly interested in the conservation of species that have disappeared entirely from the wild but somehow survived in places like zoos and botanic gardens. These "Extinct in the Wild" species need our urgent attention and support to avoid slipping away entirely and to return to their wild habitats.

Donghao Lu
Associate Professor of Epidemiology, Karolinska Institutet
My research program is to study women’s mental health over the life course and to bridge the gap between Obstetrics/Gynecology and Psychiatry. Leveraging international large-scale population-based cohorts, I aim to understand the underlying biological mechanisms affecting women’s mental health and potential health consequences. My current main research topics are:
1) Risk factors and health consequences of reproductive mood disorders or sex-specific mental disorders, including:
° premenstrual disorders (premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder)
° perinatal depression (prenatal and postnatal depression)
° perimenopausal depression and menopausal symptoms
° other maternal mental disorders occurred during and after pregnancy
2) Sex disparity in mental health
Grants:
My research work is supported by the Swedish Research Council (VR), Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life, and Welfare (Forte), China Scholarship Council, and Karolinska Institutet Strategic Research Area in Epidemiology and Biostatistics (SFOepi), Faculty Board, Board of Doctoral Education, and Research Fund.
Contributions to Science:
1) Early life origins and risk factors of premenstrual disorders
Premenstrual disorders are typically diagnosed in women in their 20s/30s, but my research has shown that the symptoms often begin during adolescence. In fact, in a sample of young women in the US, I found that approximately 70% of premenstrual disorders had onset before the age of 20. However, little was known about the factors in early life that may predispose these women to the onset of premenstrual disorders during adolescence. Through my studies, I have identified several important risk factors for premenstrual disorders developed later in life, including early menarche or pubertal development, adverse childhood experiences, childhood overweight or obesity, and childhood asthma or food allergy. These findings have significantly contributed to the understanding of the early life origins of the pathophysiology of premenstrual disorders.
2) Health impact of premenstrual disorders
Although premenstrual symptoms are restricted to the days before menstruation, the chronic and cyclic condition may translate to a profound impact on the long-term quality of life. However, there is a lack of prospective data to understand the health consequences of premenstrual disorders. My research is the first to demonstrate that patients with premenstrual disorders are at increased risks of subsequent suicidal behavior, accidents, perinatal depression, early menopause and severe menopause symptoms, premature death, and eventually contribute to the sex gap in mental health. We also found that use of hormonal contraceptives, particularly combined products, may reduce the rates of suicidal behaviors among women with premenstrual disorders.
3) Health impact of perinatal depression
Maternity care typically prioritizes pregnancy outcomes, often sidelining women’s mental well-being. Perinatal depression affects as many as 10-20% of women giving birth worldwide. In contrast to the common belief that perinatal depression is self-resolving, many cases can last for months or even longer, particularly if left untreated. However, prospective data are lacking to illustrate whether women with perinatal depression may confront enduring health consequences. My research is among the first to demonstrate that patients with perinatal depression are at increased risks of subsequent suicidal behavior, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, and mortality.
