She has been recognized for her innovative, collaborative and inter-sectoral approaches to promote community health and collective wellbeing. Paola founded Bridge for Health in 2013, as a local & global network focused on citizen & youth engagement to promote health & wellbeing. Bridge for Health was established as a co-op association, receiving the 2017 SFU Coast Capital Savings Venture Award for Social Impact for its efforts to advance wellbeing in the workplace. The co-op now focuses on building equity-centered practices in workplace health, engaging youth in policy-making, and using arts-based approaches as a decolonizing practice. Paola has collaborated and led various knowledge mobilization and community-based research initiatives related to education, public health policy and social innovation. Currently, she co-leads an arts-based research project Art on the Go to promote newcomer youth engagement in policy making related to improving road safety in Surrey. She is also co-leading a community-based study understanding experiences of exclusion of foreign trained health professionals. Since 2015, Paola has been at Simon Fraser University developing participatory and community-based experiential courses including the co-design of Health Change Lab, in collaboration with SFU RADIUS and the Beedie School of Business, City of Surrey, Fraser Health and many community based organizations. As the Faculty Teaching Fellow, she supported capacity building initiatives related to community-engaged and anti-racist education. Paola is an Associate with the SFU's Wosk Centre for Dialogue and recently Co-chaired Participedia’s Teaching Training & Mentoring Committee, a global network focused on public participation & democratic innovations.

Professor Keith Ryden

Professor of Space Engineering, University of Surrey

Professor of Space Engineering, University of Surrey Prof. Ryden is currently Interim Director of the Surrey Space Centre which is a research unit within the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. The centre currently focusses on space applications, exploration and instrumentation and has a long history of building space experiments (including experimental satellites) and space instruments. Keith’s field of research concerns the effects of space radiation and space weather on spacecraft, aircraft and ground systems and also how to protect them. He has been involved in a numerous national and international (e.g. European Space Agency and NASA) projects to develop space environment models has invented and flown novel instruments to measure and investigate such issues – his instrument designs are used today for example, in the European Space Agency ‘Galileo’ satellites and the Japanese Meteorological satellites. He has strong research links with the UK Met Office and Ministry of Defence in the field of space weather as well as with the space industry. Keith has developed a new Masters-level module ‘Space Environment and Protection’ at Surrey. After graduating from the University of Bath in 1986 with a First in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Keith joined the Royal Aerospace Establishment (RAE), Farnborough, then part of UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), to carry out research into improving the effectiveness and survivability of UK defence satellites. In parallel he completed a part-time MSc in Satellite Engineering at the University of Surrey, graduating with Distinction. Keith led the design, construction and launch of MoD’s 50kg STRV1a research satellite which performed its mission successfully from 1994-1999. In 2007 he was appointed to the position of Technical Fellow at QinetiQ (a spin-out from MoD) where he led a team dedicated to understanding radiation environments and effects. In 2012 he joined the Royal Academy of Engineering study team looking into Extreme Space Weather which reported in 2013. Soon thereafter he took up a post at the University of Surrey as Reader in Space Engineering. Keith is currently a member of the UK Space Environment Impact Expert Group (SEIEG), which advises the UK Government on space weather risks. He is Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the IET.
