DECRA Research Fellow, Australian National University I am a DECRA Research Fellow working in the Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University. I previously studied at the University of Cambridge, Harvard and Columbia Universities before moving to Australia in 2021. My research is primarily focused on geoscience problems that are relevant to society. I am actively undertaking projects in sea-level modelling, critical mineral deposits, and identification of underground nuclear tests. More broadly, I am an observational geodynamicists specialising in the integration of geological and geophysical datasets with numerical models to better understand processes that have shaped the Earth.
Professeur, Inserm Miroslav Radman is a French-Croatian geneticist and molecular biologist. He graduated in biology from the University of Zagreb, Croatia. In 1969, he received his PhD degree in molecular biology from the Free University of Brussels, Belgium. After working as a postdoctoral researcher with Raymond Devoret (1969-70) at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) at Gif-sur-Yvette, France, he joigned Matthew Meselson at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA (1970-73). He is a former Professor of Molecular Genetics at the Free University of Brussels (1973-83) and Research Director at the French CNRS (Institute J. Monod, Paris, 1983-1997). In 1998, he became professor of Cell Biology at the Medical School of the René Descartes University (Paris-5) and director of the INSERM research Unit 571 "Evolutionary and Medical Molecular Genetics", from which he retired in 2013 as exceptional class professor emeritus. Miroslav Radman is member of several international clubs and academies. He is also the founder of the Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences (MedILS) in Split, Croatia. He is the founding member of four start-up biotech companies in the USA and France, and initiator and co-founder of the EITP (European Institute of Technology in Paris) project. During his career, he has published over 200 research and review articles in the areas of DNA repair, DNA replication, mutagenesis, genetic recombination, evolution, microbiology, cancer research, protein oxidation and aging, that have been cited over 10.000 times. Additionally, he is the author of 2 books of scientific popularization about his recent work on the field of aging. Three of his personal discoveries are present in standard molecular biology and genetics textbooks worldwide (the SOS response in bacteria; the discovery that the mismatch repair system acts as the genetic barrier between closely related species). His paper on the molecular basis of extreme radiation and desiccation resistance in the most robust microbe Deinococcus radiodurans in Nature unravelled a 50 years old mystery and was commented in over thousand newspaper articles and TV news worldwide.
Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Washington My hope for my lab is to use advanced stem cell models and animal models to study the conditions that affect reproductive and maternal fetal health.
Professor of Economics, Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) Marie Connolly (Ph.D. 2007, Princeton University) has been a professor at the Department of Economics of UQAM’s School of Management (ESG UQAM) since 2009. Her research is primarily empirical and touches upon various topics in labor economics, such as intergenerational income transmission and socioeconomic mobility, the formation of human capital, the gender wage gap, women’s labor force participation and the evaluation of public policy. Her work as been published in the Journal of Labor Economics, the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and the Canadian Journal of Economics, among others. She is currently Data Editor for the Canadian Journal of Economics and the Vice-Dean for Research at ESG UQAM.
Associate Professor in Criminology, University of Leicester Matt is an Associate Professor at the Department of Criminology, University of Leicester. His research spans of variety of areas in relation to violence, organised crime, security and crime prevention. He has conducted research for the UK Home Office exploring motivations for the use of acid and corrosive substances in violent crime. He is the lead author (with Dr Lucy Neville and Professor Teela Sanders) of Acid Crime: Context, Motivation and Prevention (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021).
