UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, University of Oxford
Dr Neil Hart is an atmospheric science researcher with particular interest in problems where smaller-scale weather dynamics are inextricably linked with the continental-scale climate processes that give rise to variability and change. His work aims to improve our understanding of the seasonal climate of extreme weather events and to contribute to better understanding of the predictability, both potential and practical, of such events. This work has included contributions to key drivers of the southern African hydroclimate, analysis of South American climate and extremes, and extreme wind risk over the North Atlantic and Europe.

Professor of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, University of Michigan
My laboratory is interested in novel mechanisms of enzyme catalysis, enzyme regulation and designing self-assembling proteins. Our current research projects focus on enzymes that catalyze carboxylation and decarboxylation of aromatic molecules, which may provide routes to green commodity chemicals. We are also studying the regulation and interactions of enzymes involved in the cellular antiviral response. Lastly, we are developing strategies for the assembly of proteins into nano-cages. Our research is inherently inter-disciplinary and draws on a synergistic combination of bio-organic, bio-inorganic and bio-physical chemistry. We are fortunate to enjoy numerous productive collaborations with other research groups at Michigan.

Senior Research Scientist, CSIRO
My PhD used Landsat time series data to map the Lower Balonne Floodplain in SE Qld. I linked the distribution of inundation with the growth dynamics of vegetation communities, and predicted outcomes from changes in landscape composition on the dynamics of the ecosystem as a whole. My work at CSIRO has focussed on the use of airborne, hi-res, hyperspectral and SAR satellite imagery to map features including the distribution and severity of diseases in plantation forests, forest fertiliser requirements and flood modelling for the MDBA. Recently I led a project to write methods for UN Sustainable Development Goal 15.3.1 (the proportion of land that is degraded over total land area) on behalf of the UNCCD. These methods are provided as guidance to all countries reporting on this SDG. I co-Chair the GEO Land Degradation Neutrality Initiative, which uses the methods from SDG 15.3.1 to measure degradation. More recently my work has focused on identifying and supporting the Earth observation needs of developing countries including Vietnam and the Pacific islands.

Higgs Chair of Theoretical Physics, University of Edinburgh
Neil Turok is the inaugural Higgs Chair of Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh. He holds the Roger Penrose Visiting Professorship at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada where he is emeritus Director. Before that he was Chair of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge and Professor of Physics at Princeton.
Neil’s day job is developing and testing fundamental physics theories of the universe. His first-principles predictions of correlations between the temperature and polarisation of the cosmic background radiation (CBR), and the CBR and the galaxy distribution have been confirmed at high precision. His work also ruled out several popular theoretical models. Recently, he showed how a CPT-symmetric universe could provide the simplest-yet explanation of the cosmic dark matter, the large scale properties of the universe and the primordial density variations.
Born in South Africa, Neil founded the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), now the continent’s leading institute for postgraduate training and research in the mathematical sciences. AIMS has over 3500 Masters alumni, from 45 African countries. More than 800 have proceeded to PhDs.

Nham is both a teacher and a cancer researcher, specialising in small RNA biology and diagnostic technologies. He has dedicated his career to creating tools for diagnosing diseases. Nham earned his PhD from Johnson and Johnson and UNSW, where he focused on studying small RNA molecules and how they can be used in real-world applications.
During his postdoctoral training, Nham led a team that published the first study characterising microRNAs in head and neck cancers. This groundbreaking research led him to come up with the idea of using these microRNAs as markers to detect Head and Neck Cancers early on. He was also the first to understand the role of these molecules in salivary gland tumors and holds several patents in this area. Currently, he's leading a team of researchers who are studying the RNA aspects of oral cancers.
Aside from his work, Nham is an educator and served as the Deputy Head of School for Teaching (2019-2022). He teaches engineering students about molecular diagnostics, runs workshops on qPCR, and is involved in mentoring programs.
In his free time, Nham loves going rock climbing in the Blue Mountains with his family, exploring different parts of the world, writing awesome science papers, and building PCR machines.
