Senior Lecturer, School of IT and Electrical Engineering, The University of Queensland Dr Archie Chapman is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science in the School of IT and Electrical Engineering. Archie develops and applies principled artificial intelligence, game theory, optimisation and machine learning methods to solve large-scale and dynamic allocation, scheduling and queuing problems. His recent research has focused on applications of these techniques to problems in future power systems, such as integrating large amounts of renewable power generation and using batteries and flexible loads to provide power network and system services, while making best use of legacy network and generation infrastructure. Prior to joining UQ, Archie was Research Fellow in Smart Grids at the University of Sydney (2011-2019), and a postdoc fellow at the University of Southampton (2009-2010), where he completed his PhD.
Doctorant, sociologie, CESDIP, Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (UVSQ) – Université Paris-Saclay Ancien élève de l’ENS Cachan, détenteur d’un Master 2 de sociologie de l’EHESS et auteur d’un mémoire de recherche sur le Service Volontaire Citoyen (sous la direction de Cédric Moreau de Bellaing), Aurélien Restelli prépare une thèse intitulée « Coopérer en maintien de l’ordre : la police à l’épreuve de la pluralisation », sous la direction de Jacques de Maillard. Dans les pays occidentaux, on assiste à une logique de pluralisation des activités policières. Cela touche notamment le domaine de la police des foules ; en effet, de plus en plus d’unités, dont l’organisation et les modes de fonctionnement peuvent parfois être très différents, sont amenées à participer aux opérations de maintien de l’ordre. La question se pose donc de savoir comment, aussi bien en bas de la hiérarchie qu’au niveau de l’état-major, elles échangent, se jugent et se coordonnent pour mener à bien les opérations de maintien de l’ordre.
PhD Candidate, Climate Activism, University of York I am a mature student from a widening participation background. I have a first class BA(hons) in Sociology and an MA in Social Research both from the University of York. I am now in the 3rd year of an ESRC funded PhD student at the University of York sociology department researching youth climate activism as a novel form of protest. My research is a qualitative study for which I have interviewed 16 to 24 year olds about their own activism, climate protest and how they view their futures. In addition to my studies I teach as a GTA for the Sociology department and recently worked as a research assistant on a study researching the protest group, Extinction Rebellion.
Research Fellow, University of Otago I am currently an academic working at the University of Otago in Dunedin (Dept. of Preventive and Social Medicine). I am actively publishing in the area of Tobacco Control.
Full Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Eswatini Ara Monadjem is Full Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Eswatini, Eswatini, where he has been lecturing in zoology since 1993, and a fellow of the Mammal Research Institute in the Department of Zoology & Entomology at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Raised in Eswatini, his research has taken him across much of Africa, and has included ground-breaking expeditions to largely undescribed regions in countries such as Liberia and Mozambique. His academic interests centre upon ecology and conservation, with a special focus on small mammals. He has published over 160 scientific articles, and among his eight books is the landmark Bats of Southern and Central Africa, also published by WUP. In his spare time, Ara enjoys bird watching and cycling.
Post-doctorate researcher, Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier, visiting lecturer, Liverpool John Moores University Adeline Morez is a biological anthropologist who specialises in the study of population genetics. After a Master’s degree in Ecology and Evolution, she studied ancient DNA to directly infer past human movements, focusing on Africa and Europe for her PhD (Liverpool John Moores University, UK). She is now a post-doctoral researcher at the EDB laboratory (CNRS, France). Her main interest is understanding how environment and culture have shaped human genetic diversity – through isolation, gene flow and selection – in Papua New Guinea and the islands of Southeast Asia.
