Tory Madden

Associate Professor and Pain Researcher, University of Cape Town

Associate Professor and Pain Researcher, University of Cape Town The African Pain Research Initiative seeks to understand how we can come to feel pain without tissue damage - because persistent, unhelpful pain is one of the most burdensome health problems in the world. If we could make sense of the mechanisms that result in this type of pain, we could design treatment to target those mechanisms and relieve or prevent persistent pain. My research brings aspects of neuroscience, psychology, physiology, and immunology into both observational and basic experimental studies in humans, to make sense of the complex interactions between systems that underpin pain.

Toshi Hirabayashi

Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology

Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Dr. Masatoshi (Toshi) Hirabayashi bridges planetary science mission technologies and planetary science to harmonize them on planetary science exploration missions. His expertise is in space operations, particularly exploring techniques to achieve both engineering and science requirements under mission constraints. His engineering targets are orbiter/lander design and navigation techniques enabling scientific infestations, while his scientific focuses are on the origin and evolution of small bodies, moons, and terrestrial bodies to explore planetary volatiles. His academic efforts propel planetary science exploration missions. He was involved in a series of planetary missions, including JAXA/IKAROS (solar sail mission), JAXA/Hayabusa 1 and 2 (small body sample return mission), NASA/OSIRIS-REx (small body sample return mission), and ESA/JAXA/Bepi-Colombo (Mercury orbiter mission). Recently, he was a Co-I of NASA/DART (planetary defense mission). He currently serves as a Co-I of NASA/VIPER (lunar rover mission). He also leads Hayabusa 2# as a Science Integration Lead. 11471 Toshihirabayashi is named after him for his contribution to small-body research.
