Master's Student, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Toronto Ethan is currently completing his Master's at the University of Toronto in the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in the Reisz lab. He mainly works with CT data from a variety of early Permian tetrapods to produce 3D renderings for visual reconstruction along with descriptive anatomical, phylogenetic, histological, and taphonomic analyses. His diverse interests and aptitude for learning involve him in a wide range of projects and experiences.
Researcher, Queen's University Belfast Dr Emma Soye has a PhD in Social Work and Social Care. She is the author of 'Peer Relationships at School: New Perspectives on Migration and Diversity', published by Bristol University Press. Emma has conducted research on social cohesion for international organisations including UNICEF, the International Rescue Committee, and Save the Children UK.
Lecturer, Physical Geography, University of York Ed is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Physical Geography in the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of York. His research focuses on the coastal zone and the use of sediments to understand a range of Earth system processes. In particular, he uses saltmarsh sediments to reconstruct sea-level change and the occurrence of earthquakes and tsunamis over centennial to millennial timescales. In doing so, he seeks to examine underlying mechanisms and provide evidence to underpin future hazard assessments and projections that enable the development of improved resilience and mitigation strategies. Another strand of his research focuses on the role intertidal environments including saltmarshes, seagrass meadows, and tidal flats play in sequestering and storing carbon.
Associate Professor, School of Psychology, University of Plymouth My research focuses on the neurobiology of decision-making and learning, both in healthy adults and in patients with psychiatric disorders. After working as a biomedical engineer, developing brain-related clinical devises, I pursued an academic career in computational neuroscience at the universities of Glasgow and Oxford. My previous research focused on the proof of principle that transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation can safely and transiently change neural activity in precise parts of the brain, particularly deep regions of the brain, repsonsible for core cognitive and motivational processes. I am now working towards bringing this technology forward and apply it to mental health challenges. Do you know how incredible the different applications of therapeutic ultrasound can be for mental health disorders? I created this cool video with @Animate_Science https://youtube.com/watch?v=KsuqRldCspU… Enjoy!
Lecturer, Griffith Law School, Griffith University I am a Lecturer at the Griffith Law School at Griffith University on the Gold Coast. My research focuses on the interplay between data, privacy, algorithms and identity. In otherwords, how #hyperconnection, and all things digital, influence the individual's identity, reputation and undermine personal autonomy.
Lecturer, Safety and Engineering, University of Mines and Technology Eric Stemn holds a PhD in occupational health and safety from the University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, Australia, an MSc in environmental science from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana, and a BSc in geomatic engineering from the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT), Tarkwa, Ghana. Eric has extensive experience in health, safety and environment (HSE) consulting and training and is currently a faculty member of UMaT, at the Environmental and Safety Engineering Department, where he teaches various undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Before joining UMaT, Eric worked in a consulting role for 4 years, where he assisted several Ghanaian companies in preparing technical reports leading to permit clearance from the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency. Eric’s PhD research focused on improving organisational learning from incidents through improved incident investigation, effective risk management and how the incident investigation process feeds back into risk management activities. Eric facilitates industry-based workshops and delivers environmental, safety and health risk-based training to the minerals industry. Eric continues to consult for a wide range of industries in matters relating to occupational health, safety and environment.
