Lecturer in Particle Physics, Manchester University I am a lecturer with the Accelerator Physics group of the University of Manchester School of Physics and Astronomy and the Cockcroft Institute. I currently work on plasma physics and accelerator topics associated with the study of fundamental properties of antimatter in the ALPHA experiment at CERN. I also conduct research on novel low energy sources for accelerators. One of my research topics involves comparing matter and antimatter through precision measurements with trapped antihydrogen. The ALPHA experiment at CERN routinely synthesizes and traps antihydrogen atoms. With this unique source of pure antimatter systems, we are able to perform precise measurements of its proerties, from its spectral signature in various energies ranges to its behaviour in a gravitational field. This research is aimed at addressing the question of observed baryon asymmetry in the universe today: why is antimatter so much more rare than matter.
Postdoctoral Research Associate at the School of Biosciences, Cardiff University I am a Post-doctoral Research Associate working at Cardiff University with an interest in data analysis, freshwater ecology and anthropogenic pressures. My background is in molecular ecology, and I have previously worked in a variety of study systems, including Atlantic salmon aquaculture, environmental DNA and wastewater monitoring for health.
Associate Professor for Remote Sensing and Glaciology, University of Canterbury I received a MSc in meteorology and a PhD in glaciology from Innsbruck University, Austria, in 1995 and 2000, respectively. From 2001-2006, I was a post-doctoral researcher and research scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (Germany) studying polar land-ice using remote sensing and airborne geophysics. Since 2006 I am employed at the University of Canterbury's Centre for Antarctic Studies and Research (Gateway Antarctica) - first as a senior lecturer and then as an associate professor. I teach and research remote sensing and polar glaciology for both land ice and sea ice. For my special interest in the mass balance of the polar cryosphere I spent 17 field seasons in the Arctic and Antarctica to collect ground data for satellite validation.
Professor of Philosophy, UMass Lowell Expertise Ethics (Theoretical and Applied), Philosophy of Law, Environmental Philosophy, Philosophy of Religion Research Interests Ethics; Law and ethics of war, self-defense, and punishment; Philosophy of religion. Just War theory; Law and ethics of personal self-defense and also self-defense as justification for war; Moral justifications for punishment; Evolutionary theories of ethics; Relationship between science and religion.
Professor of Chemical Engineering, University of California, Davis My research is in complex transport phenomena, with an emphasis on using advanced experimental techniques to extract quantitative measurements from complicated phenomena. My group strives to answer fundamental scientific questions about a variety of systems where the transport behavior is paramount. Recent topics include: electrocoalescence of charged droplets, electrically-induced aggregation of colloids near electrodes, extraction dynamics in coffee, and turbulent dispersion of airborne pathogens. My lab has two Phantom high-speed cameras (a grayscale v7.1 and a color v7.3), both of which can capture at more than 100,000 frames per second. We also have several microscopes and various optical and laser systems. I am also passionate about coffee – I serve as Director of the UC Davis Coffee Center, and my undergraduate course, The Design of Coffee: An Introduction to Chemical Engineering, regularly enrolls more than 2,000 students per year.
Associate Professor, Deputy Chair Department of Education, Swinburne University of Technology Wendy's APAC-accredited degree in Psychology (GDPSY) has provided a good basis for understanding the complexities of adult behaviour and how adults come together; including how these behaviours and actions shape the experiences of children. Wendy's qualifications and experience in Education (BEd; MEd; PhD; GCISM; GCULT) provides her with a comprehensive understanding of schools and the teaching profession.
