FAR-LeaF Fellow, University of Pretoria After completing my medical studies at the University of Yaounde I (Cameroon) and practising for a few years as a physician, I enrolled for a PhD at the Global Health Institute of the University of Antwerp which I completed in 2020. My research interests include public health, epidemiology, epilepsy, and neglected tropical diseases particularly onchocerciasis (river blindness). Currently, I am a research officer with the Brain Research Africa Initiative (BRAIN) Cameroon and I was awarded a Future Africa Research Leaders Fellowship (FAR-LeaF) by the University of Pretoria in 2022.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Evolutionary Biology, University of Reading I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Reading funded by the Leverhulme Trust. My interests are primarily involved in macro-evolutionary biology, particularly involving large-scale evolutionary trends and patterns. I am also interested in looking at the effects of incorporating extinct and extant diversity into studies of evolutionary biology and ecology.

Associate Professor, RMIT University A food scientist with an h index of 39. Published >140 publications. Hold a PhD in Food Chemistry/Food Science and Technology.
Senior Lecturer in Nutrition and Food (Sensory Science), RMIT University Dr. Julia Low's research expertise lies in the field of Sensory and Consumer Science, with applications in nutrition and food technology. She completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Melbourne, followed by a Graduate Diploma in Psychology at Deakin University, where she explored the links between mood-related diseases and eating behavior. She then completed her PhD in Nutrition at Deakin University, focusing on sensory science, particularly sweetness perception and dietary intake. During her PhD, she was part of the team that discovered the human potential to taste a new taste quality: carbohydrates. Following her PhD, Dr. Low undertook a postdoctoral fellowship at the Riddet Institute in New Zealand, working on various projects related to consumers' emotional responses to food choices and the use of digital technologies. Currently, she leads a team at RMIT University, focusing on understanding the utilisation of psychological models to comprehend eating behaviors and food acceptance, particularly among individuals with reduced sensory inputs due to environmental conditions or sensory impairments, such as those experienced in space conditions. Dr. Low collaborates with researchers to investigate the impact of space conditions on nutrition and well-being outcomes. Her research interests span a wide interdisciplinary spectrum, including the development of eating environments and better ways to capture human perception and performance data using digital technologies and sensory-nutrition approaches.
Senior Lecturer, Strength and Conditioning Sciences, Deakin University I am a Senior Lecturer within the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN) at Deakin University, Melbourne. My research focuses on exercise for improving health and physical function across the lifespan. I have a keen interest in translating evidence-based information on the role of exercise for improving health and fitness.
