Floyd W. Shockley

Entomologist and Collections Manager, Smithsonian Institution
I oversee all aspects of collection management, logistics, purchasing and property management for the Department of Entomology, providing oversight of the National Insect Collection (100,000+ type specimens, 35 million+ specimens) and interacting with staff from the three agencies and 4 units that comprise the Combined Entomology Department (SI, USDA-SEL, USDA-APHIS, and DoD-WRBU).

My research interests focus on the taxonomy and systematics of fungus feeding beetles. I reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of Endomychidae using cladistics, likelihood and Bayesian techniques incorporating both morphological and molecular evidence, and use the resulting evolutionary hypotheses to explore patterns of change in physical, behavioral, and ecological characteristics.

Fran Brearton

Professor of Modern Poetry, School of Arts, English and Languages, Queen's University Belfast
I teach primarily in the areas of 19th and 20th century Irish literature, modern poetry - particularly contemporary Irish and British poetry - and modernist literature. I’ve supervised research students in the areas of 19th & 20th century Irish literature, 20th-century British, Irish, and American poetry, and 20th-century British fiction, and welcome proposals in the areas of modern British and Irish literature. I also supervise the critical component of creative writing PhDs (fiction and poetry). I convene and teach on the MA in Poetry: Creativity and Criticism, and also on the MA in English Literary Studies.

My research interests are primarily in British and Irish Poetry of the 20th and 21st centuries, and in the literature and culture of the First World War, literary modernism, and war writing throughout the 20th century. I also have a particular interest in the work of Robert Graves – his poetry, historical fiction, criticism, and autobiographical writings.

My first book was a study of the effects of the First World War on 20th-century Irish poetry; more recently, I co-edited (with Alan Gillis) The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Poetry. I've just edited a new edition of Robert Graves's First World War memoir, Good-bye to All That, for Penguin Classics (2014) and am currently working on a study of Graves's writings.

Francis Nimmo

Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz
I am interested in how planets and satellites have evolved to their current states, and what explains the spectacular planetary diversity we see. For instance, why do the Earth and Ganymede possess magnetic fields at the present day, while Venus and Europa do not? Why is tiny Enceladus geologically active, while its neighbour Mimas is dormant? To answer questions like this requires a combination of spacecraft observations and geophysical models.

I am spending a lot of my time using observations of the icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn to work out their current state and history. For instance, the fact that the geologically-active hot-spot on Enceladus is at the south pole may not be a coincidence: the satellite may have rolled over on its side. If correct, this hypothesis tells us about the structure of the interior of Enceladus. One of the factors that makes these satellites more complicated and interesting than the terrestrial planets is that their thermal evolution depends on their orbits (because of tidal heating) as well as radioactive decay.

Some of my work involves modeling the thermal evolution of planets through time. One constraint on these models is the presence or absence of a global magnetic field: the core has to be cooling rapidly to sustain a dynamo. The reason Venus lacks a dynamo is that it is not cooling down fast enough (unlike the Earth, Venus doesn't have plate tectonics - probably because it is very dry).

This is just a sample of the kind of geophysical problems I'm interested in; to get a more complete idea, take a look at my list of publications.
