Senior Research Officer at the SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre, Swansea University Dr David Beynon is a Senior Research Officer working in the SPECIFIC IKC at Swansea University. Based in the faculty of science and engineering the SPECIFC group conducts research aimed at technologies for generation, store and release of energy. Moving from Chemistry to Engineering David has developed expertise in the fundamental science of printing and coating processes and the application for large scale manufacture of functional and electronic materials. Since 2017 he has applied this knowledge to the study of perovskite photovoltaics researching formulation and processing for upscaling from lab scale to roll to roll coating at a pilot production scale.

Associate Professor of Pathology, Penn State My goal is to leverage my training and education in urologic oncology and translational research to facilitate discovery.
Visiting Researcher, Griffith University I am a bioarchaeologist with particular interest in the mechanisms that drive biological diversitfication. My research primarily concerns understanding environmental adaptive variation, skeletal biomechanics, and functional anatomy. I employ 3-D modelling of bones and engineering principles to understand the ways in which human behaviour influences skeletal anatomy. With backgrounds in both archaeology and clinical human anatomy, I became involved in archaeological excavations throughout, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. Since 2010, I have concentrated on projects in Philippines, Indonesia, and Eastern Australia, seeking to understand hominin expansion through the region over the last million years. The Maros karst of South Sulawesi is my current research focus and vital to understanding population dispersal and behaviour at the ecological, geographic and cultural crossroads of mainland Sunda (mainland East Asia) and Sahul (Australia and P.N.G.). My other area of interest is environmental adaptations in Senegalese savannah chimpanzees and their relevance to human evolution.
Associate Dean of Faculty, Minerva University Dollie Davis specializes in International Political Economy and Economic Development. Prior to joining Minerva, she worked as an International Visiting Fellow at a think tank in Taipei, Taiwan where she executed a paper, discussing the impact of Taiwan’s Non-Governmental Organizations on their International Aid, Healthcare, and Political Systems. She earned her Ph.D. degree in Political Economy from the University of Southern California and her M.A. degree in Economics from the University of San Francisco. Professor Davis taught courses on Economic Development in the School of International Relations at the University of Southern California. She believes in actively engaging with each student and providing a forum for in-depth discussion about old and new concepts and ideas in every class. Professor Davis teaches the Boom, Bust, and Bubbles: The Free Enterprise System Core Course and the Global Development and Applied Economics Concentration Course.
