PhD Candidate in History, University of Warwick Imogen Knox is a current PhD researcher (2020-2024) at the University of Warwick. Her doctoral thesis is titled 'Self-destructive desires and the supernatural in early modern Britain'. This research explores the ways people articulated self-destructive desires in the context of affliction by witches, demons, and spirits, providing insight into how individuals conceptualised and negotiated suicidal ideation during a time where the act of suicide was not only criminal, but caused eternal damnation. She recently published an article on pin-swallowing as a means of self-destruction with the Journal of Cultural and Social History: https://doi.org/10.1080/14780038.2023.2189407

Senior Research Fellow, Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds I'm a geographer by training. My research interests cover geographical analysis of socially equitable sustainable transport planning. My skills include a wide range of approaches to spatial data analysis visualisation, simulation and methods associated with Geographic Information Science (GIS) and geocomputation and geographic data science. Though I work principally with spatial and other quantitative data I also work with colleagues on mixed methods research projects. I have conducted work on capability to make journeys by walking and cycling during fuel disruption, modelled the carbon reduction capability of e-bikes and leads a project to understand more about the carbon reduction potential of e-micromobility.

Professor in sea level and flooding, University of Southampton For the past 20 years I have worked on a wide range of coastal projects in industry and academia, focusing on: (1) assessing changes in mean and extreme sea levels, and associated coastal flooding and erosion; and (2) translating global projections of sea level changes down to local scales to inform risk-based management and policy. I am interested in sea level variations from time scales of minutes, through to long term changes, and have considerable experience in analysing observational data and applying hydrodynamic models.
