Course coordinator, University of South Australia Jessica Yi (she/her) is a Lecturer in accounting at the UniSA Business and a course coordinator of Financial Accounting 2 and Contemporary Issues in Accounting. Jessica has a PhD in credit risk assessment in financial instruments from University of Adelaide and a Master by reaserch from University of Adelaide. She has subtantial expertise in accounting and more than 10 years of teaching accounting in multiple Australian universities. Jessica' academic career focusses on the development of high quality and engaging courses for the second and third year accounting students studying on-capmus, online and internationally. Her teaching philosophy centres on the premise that as facilitators of students' learning, academics should provide learning opportunities and guidance to students. Jessica's research covers the field of credit risk assessment and accounting education. Especially, her principal research interests lie in the prediction of financial distress, such as loan default and corporate bankruptcy and innovation in accounting education and career readiness. In PhD thesis, an innovative and interdisciplinary technique is employed to identify relevant predictors and thus to better explain the characteristics of loan defaulting firms. Her passion for the innovation in accounting education is well reflected in her multiple research and involvement in the innovative accounting education research projects. Her focus on the students' career readiness is well reflected in her continous work with the industry partners and successful outcomes. With over a decade of teaching experience at both University of Adelaide and University of South Australia, Jessica is very passionate about teaching and focused on enhancing students' engangement and learning ability. Her passion was aknowledged by students' high satisfaction rate.

I am interested in how genes and turned on and off within an organism, initially to understand how the natural processes first evolved, but I now engineer new ways to turn genes on and off in plants in a field known as Synthetic Biology.
Lecturer in History, Sheffield Hallam University My expertise lies in the enduring legacies of European imperialism, with a particular focus on the British Overseas Territories. I explore the historical and geopolitical factors that explain why Britain continues to maintain control over these seemingly small and isolated 'dots on the map.' By examining their historical context, I aim to uncover the strategic, political, and cultural reasons behind their ongoing significance in global affairs
PhD Candidate in Agroecology, Florida International University Jessica Dominguez obtained her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Florida International University in 2013. Soon after, she became a teacher at Academy for International Education Charter School where she taught middle school Math and science for 3 years, and during which time she earned her Professional Educator’s Certificate. In the summer of 2017, she began her Master of Science in Environmental Studies under professors Dr. Kateel Shetty, Dr. Krishnaswamy Jayachandran and Dr. Mahadev Bhat. Jessica completed her Master’s degree in Fall of 2019 and began her PhD in Spring of 2020. Jessica’s research (for both Master’s and PhD) is focused on the citrus greening disease, which is a deadly bacterial disease that affects all species of citrus. Jessica hopes to find effective antimicrobial compounds derived from natural sources (plants and/or microorganisms) to provide novel and sustainable treatment options for this devastating disease.
