Eyleen Jorgelina O'Rourke
Associate Professor of Biology and Cell Biology, University of Virginia
Through evolutionary history the human genome was optimized to promote survival in environments where food is mostly scarce. These survivor-genomes clash with an environment where calorie-rich foods are readily available. Based on the premise that the genes networks that allow animals to endure starvation are under strong selective pressure and consequently conserved, we use a combination of cutting-edge functional genomics, biochemical, cell biology, genetic, and physiological approaches to identify and characterize the conserved gene networks that allow the animal model Caenorhabditis elegans to adapt to changes in food availability. Ultimately, our research would contribute to better understanding of how dysfunctional gene networks affect or cause obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and accelerate aging.

Ezekiel Stear
Assistant Professor of Spanish World Languages, Literatures & Cultures, Auburn University
Ezekiel Stear teaches Spanish and Colonial Latin American Literature at Auburn University and researches Indigenous texts from colonial Mesoamerica and the Andes. His book, Nahua Horizons: Writing, Persuasion, and Futurities in Colonial Mexico (University of Arizona Press, 2025) examines the key roles the Nahua texts from Central Mexico have played in shaping culture. His articles and book chapters similarly question the notion that the Spanish erased Native cultures in the Americas.

Lecturer in Digital Marketing, College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences, Brunel University of London
Ezgi (PhD, MBA, BA (Hons), FHEA) is a Lecturer in Digital Marketing within the Marketing Division within Brunel Business School.
Her primary research interest has focused on the contexts of robotic services, virtual experiences, and the social influence effects in those settings. Ezgi published in international academic journals, such as Annals of Tourism Research, Journal of Consumer Behaviour, and Behaviour & Information Technology. She is the recipient of prestigious funds such as the British Academy/Leverhulme and Marketing Trust and the Best Paper Award in the AMA Winter Conference.
She currently serves in the Editorial Review Board of Psychology & Marketing.
Mainly trained in consumer psychology using experimental methodology, Ezgi is interested in examining how various experiences (such as together-alone experiences, and virtual experiences) affect individual consumers. Her recent works look at the role of algorithmic and robotic services` impact on consumers and desired marketing outcomes.
Over the years, she has established several fruitful research partnerships with co-authors from other countries, including Sweden, Denmark, and Turkey. She frequently collaborates across disciplines, serves in external boards and currently serves as RDA in two PhD student committees and co-supervising an external PhD student.
