I trained as a tree pathologist and spent ten years in Asia working first on a bamboo disease in Bangladesh and then on clove trees in Indonesia on UK aid projects. I've worked around the world, first with the Natural Resources Institute then with CABI for 17 years. My dominant interest for the last 20 years has been in farmer support, stimulated through the development and introduction of plant health clinics to Bolivia, Uganda, Bangladesh and beyond. More recently I have been attached to the University of Aberdeen, where I've returned to an interest in ash trees - the subject of my PhD way back then.
In a varied career that has included studying wild mushrooms in Malawi and bamboo for rural development, it is sometimes difficult to give a concise description of what I do. Hence this rather long-winded explanation. But the main theme has been bridging gaps between the science I love and the people for whom it is intended, whether they are cocoa farmers in DRC (which I visit regularly) or members of the public worrying about the health of the trees in the UK.

Associate Professor, School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, University of Adelaide
Eric Fusil is a French-Australian Submarine passionate, having dedicated all his 20+ years of professional life to submarine industry.
He is a naval architect by background and had his experience crafted by a variety of roles covering the full spectrum of a boat lifecycle (design, build, test and activation and sustainment) and worldwide (USA, France, Australia) including Submarine Shipyard facilities (performing reviews for overseas customers to assess fitness for purpose).
He is fully aware of the challenges stemming from the local environment and, for instance, can put the Australian Future Submarine and Hunter Class project into perspective with the knowledge of his native background. In other words: he can bridge between two worlds.
After having worked for Naval Group in France and ASC in Australia, he created his own company, ODYSSEE AUS in 2017, working in Defence Industry worldwide before accepting a role at the University of Adelaide
Dedicated to the Australian sovereign capability he is now Assoc. Professor at the University of Adelaide, Director of the Shipbuilding Hub for Integrated Engineering and Local Design, and as Submarine Design postgraduate courses coordinator.
***
Eric graduated as a Naval Architect (Masters in Engineering) in 1995 from ENSTA Bretagne (a French “grande école d’Ingénieurs” with highly competitive entry exam) after an internship within NAVSEA (Virginia, USA) and started his career in Production Quality controls for noise and vibration during build on SSBN and SSK, for what was DCNS and now known as Naval Group.
He then managed submarines sea trials and their commissioning for demanding customers (domestic and overseas).
From 1999 to 2003, he delivered in the pre-concept, concept and preliminary design phases of Barracuda submarine as engineer in charge of signatures and shock (underwater explosions).
In 2006, he joined the concept design office to be the lead naval architect and ultimately whole-of-boat technical lead for new batches of Scorpene conventional submarines up to 2012, including bids for overseas customers.
He joined ASC in 2013 after 18 years of submarine industry, 4 classes of submarines at sea or being built and roughly 2,000 hours of undersea navigation on submarines.
He was in charge of the Future Submarine design and build aspects at ASC PTY Ltd with his team of engineers and ultimately worked in submarine capability development before creating his own company, ODYSSEE AUS, in 2017 with customers in France, Australia and overseas.
Eric presented papers in forums such as Undersea Defence Technology in Europe, Anti Submarine Warfare conference in Singapore, Submarine Institute of Australia and Pacific Conferences.
He is a chartered engineer with Engineers Australia, a member of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and of the Submarine Institute of Australia.
He is now course coordinator and lecturer for the postgraduate Submarine Design courses leading to the Masters of Marine Engineering of the University of Adelaide and the newly created French Australian Dual Degree with ENSTA Bretagne.
He has also initiated and developed the Adelaide French Australian Schools with a focus on bilingual education.

Eric Howell studies the synergy between Gravitational Wave transients and Gamma-ray Bursts. This work involves combining data from the Gravitational Wave and the electromagnetic domains to determine what drives cataclysmic astrophysical events, how often they occur and their history. He is a member of the science team for both the NASA StarBurst and MoonBEAM (Moon Burst Energetics All-sky Monitor) gamma-ray burst satellites expected to launch in later this decade. He played a key role in initializing the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA targeted search for gravitational waves associated with Fast Radio Bursts and has co-led the search since 2019. He held an Australian Research Council DECRA fellowship till 2023 in astrophysics and has been a member of LIGO since 2005.

Associate professor of engineering, Boise State University
Eric Jankowski is an Associate Professor and Director of the Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering.
The overall goal of Dr. Jankowski’s work is to leverage thermodynamics for societal good. This means understanding the factors that govern molecular self-assembly, and using that knowledge to engineer materials for generating energy, storing data, or curing disease. The approach taken by Dr. Jankowski is to create and use computational tools that efficiently generate important configurations of molecules. The goal of these computational models are: (1) To provide fundamental insight into material structure when physical characterization is inadequate, and (2) To identify the most promising material candidates when there are too many choices. Consequently, one of Dr. Jankowski’s research goals is to develop new computational techniques that solve open problems in materials simulation. His educational research includes developing new curricula for scientific computation and the use storytelling to improve engineering degree programs.
Dr. Jankowski earned his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2012, where he developed computational tools to study the self-assembly of nanoparticles. These tools leveraged graphics processors to accelerate computations and provided insight into systems of both theoretical and practical importance. Dr. Jankowski began focusing on renewable energy generation during his postdoctoral positions at the University of Colorado and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. At these postdocs, Dr. Jankowski applied techniques he developed during his thesis to understand factors that determine the ordering of molecules in organic solar cells.
