Senior Lecturer in Finance, University of Stirling
I have maintained an active personal interest in stock market investment since the BT3 privatization in 1993. Much of my research and teaching is motivated and informed by practical experience as a private investor: both through the dot com bubble and collapse, as well as, the more recent financial crisis. I am particularly interested in the practical applications of investment theory and research for individual, as well as for institutional investors.
I was awarded the Diploma in Financial Planning (DipPFS) in 2010, the CFA designation in 2003, the ASIP in 2002 and the IMC in 1998. My PhD thesis titled "The relationship between concentration and realised volatility: an empirical investigation of the FTSE 100 Index January 1984 through March 2003" was completed at the University of Stirling in 2004 and in 1999 I was awarded the MSc with distinction in investment analysis from the University of Stirling.
I have been at the University of Stirling since September 1998. I was appointed as a lecturer in finance in September 2003. Prior to this, I was a PhD student, teaching assistant, research assistant and MSc student. Before studying finance and investment, I worked as a marine biologist in Canada, after graduating with an upper second in marine and environmental biology from the University of Saint Andrews.

David K. Wilson Professor of Psychology, Vanderbilt University
I have the privilege to head the Object Perception Lab in the Psychology Department at Vanderbilt University.
I think of myself as a cognitive neuroscientist – I am interested in how we perceive, recognize and categorize objects (such as faces, letters, cars and novel objects such as Greebles). My laboratory is interested in the structure of individual differences in perceptual abilities. We also seek to understand perceptual expertise – defined as becoming very good at making perceptual judgments that started off as being very difficult – and investigates the behavioral and neural changes that occur during its acquisition.

PhD Candidate in the School for Business and Society, University of York
I am interested in the political economy of skill formation, welfare institutions and institutional change, as well as comparative social and education policy. My PhD research at the University of York shifts the focus from formal institutions to the narratives surrounding apprenticeships, considered to have grown over decades and centuries. I use state of the art quantitative methods that rely on a large amount of text as data to understand how narratives shifted across different institutional and cultural settings, and their impact on the institutional paths towards or away from traditional apprenticeships.
Prior to starting my PhD, I worked in the German vocational education sector for seven years, first as a trainer and social worker, then in quality management.
