I studied at Glasgow and Sheffield, and held academic posts at Durham, Manchester and Nottingham Law Schools, before joining Sheffield in 2007.
My main research interests are in the field of European Union social and constitutional law, in particular its application in health fields, social security and welfare, and non-discrimination. I have published on the European Union's competence in social fields, especially health law; on the regulation of tobacco in the EU context; on European public health law and policy; on the governance of stem cell research in the EU; on EU non-discrimination law and minority rights; and on the 'right to health' in European contexts. I am interested in socio-legal theory and method, in particular as applied to the law of the European Union.
I am currently working on two projects. One is an interdisciplinary project on the European Union's governance of health. This includes public health policies, such as anti-tobacco policy; the regulation of research, particularly in respect of new technologies; the design of healthcare systems; and the implications of the 'single European market' for healthcare. It also includes work on human rights. I am collaborating with scholars and policy-makers in the UK, on continental Europe and in the USA, from disciplines including law, health policy, sociology and political science. I am also beginning a project on global and comparative health law.
The other project is about equality and diversity in legal education and the legal profession.

Assistant Professor of Dermatology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
My laboratory is dedicated to studying the regulation of the transcription factor p53. Mutations in p53 are found in more than 50% of human cancers, making this tumor suppressor the subject of extensive basic and preclinical research. Our studies focus on 3 main topics:
1- p53 in tumorigenesis: Through the utilization of mouse models of cancer, we to unravel the role of p53 mutations in driving tumorigenesis. By understanding the underlying mechanisms that initiate and promote skin cancers like squamous cell carcinomas and melanoma, we strive to enhance cancer therapies.
2- p53 and development: Our investigation involves studying mouse models that express elevated levels of p53, which exhibit developmental abnormalities, particularly lymphatic defects. By characterizing these mice phenotypically and molecularly, we aim to identify crucial factors contributing to the pathogenesis of associated diseases. Furthermore, we are exploring the potential of certain drugs in treating the debilitating disorder of lymphedema.
3- p53 and pigmentation: Our research focuses on the activation of the p53 pathway in skin stem cells with the goal of developing treatments for pigmentary disorders such as vitiligo and giant congenital nevi. We have identified a drug that targets the p53 pathway and shows promise in promoting melanocyte proliferation and repigmentation of depigmented vitiligo skin. We are currently analyzing the mode of action of this drug in preparation for future clinical trials.
These research areas represent our ongoing efforts to deepen our understanding of the working of p53 and contribute to the advancement of cancer and lymphatic disease therapy.

My main research interests centre on the science behind volcanoes and volcanic behaviour. My motivation is to understand volcanoes as (a) natural hazards, (b) a key planetary scale process throughout geological time, vital for maintaining habitability and (c) natural resources (e.g., geothermal power and the development of ore deposits).
Specific interests include:
The atmospheric chemistry of volcanic plumes including the effects due to background air mixing into the hot gas mixture and volcanic lightning;
Quantifying and understanding the volcanic fluxes of chemical species of atmospheric importance over different temporal and spatial scales (gases and particles) and their roles in global geochemical cycles;
Volcanic degassing processes and the formation of volcanic aerosol;
The emission and chemistry of mercury in volcanic plumes;
The ultimate fate, atmospheric and environmental effects of volcanic emissions;
Using stable isotopes to understand volcanic processes;
The cycling of volatiles through subduction zones;
Patterns and forcing of volcanism on the arc scale;
Studying volcanic deformation in order to understand the physical processes of magma movement and storage and the structure and stability of volcanic edifices.
These interests also lead me away from volcanoes at times and I have also studied the emissions from an oil depot fire (Buncefield 2005) and am generally interested in the global mercury cycle as well as other biogeochemical cycles.

PhD Candidate, Faculty of Engineering, Computing and the Environment, Kingston University
I worked as an engineer in the automotive industry for 25 years, followed by a brief stint working in the claims industry. Finally, for the last 12 years, I have been teaching mathematics and physics up to A-level standard. I am now a PhD research student in the area of Astrodynamics.
Whilst working as an engineer I became a technical trainer, writing and running courses, some of which were Geometric Tolerancing, Experimental Design, Robustness and Presentation Skills. I worked on the shop floor and in production engineering as well as in quality control. As a technical trainer for an engineering management and training company, I became the company subject matter expert for Experimental Design and Taguchi Methods.
My PhD project aims to create a computer simulation of the time and space-dependent nature of spacecraft trajectories. Based on the knowledge gained from these simulations, exemplar trajectories for space mining activities will be explored.
The project requires the use of astrodynamic methods to analyse and identify possible low-fuel trajectories to asteroids within our solar system. Stable and unstable manifolds will be used to find heteroclinic connections between different Three-Body planetary systems. An ephemeris model and statistical analysis will identify trajectories that optimise time and fuel requirements.

Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto
I am a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto. My research concerns land, labour, capitalism, development, politics and indigeneity with a particular focus on Indonesia. I aim to bring my research into dialogue with scholars in multiple fields (eg geography, planning, law, environmental studies) and with activists and policy makers who are curious about how their interventions work out on the ground.
The books I have written tackle these themes in different ways. They are Malays in Singapore: Culture, Economy and Ideology (1987); Transforming the Indonesian Uplands: Marginality, Power and Production (edited, 1999); The Will to Improve: Governmentality, Development and the Practice of Politics (2007); Powers of Exclusion: Land Dilemmas in Southeast Asia (with Derek Hall and Philip Hirsch) (2011); Land's End: Capitalist Relations on an Indigenous Frontier (2014); and Plantation Life: Corporate Occupation in Indonesia's Oil Palm Zone (with Pujo Semedi, 2021).

PhD Candidate, History of Art, UCL
Eighteenth and nineteenth-century European history, with particular emphasis on French sartorial politics (strategic use of dress to convey political and social ideals) and sartorial appropriation (the adoption and presentation of non-Western garments in shaping colo-nial narratives around cultural superiority). On the first point, I’m interested in exploring ideas around the political implications of ‘power-dressing down,’, which is the focal point of my dissertation’s third chapter where I examine Napoleon’s clothing choices prior to becoming First Consul and Emperor. This is done in parallel with research into the peri-od’s leading female figures of fashionability including Thérésa Tallien and Juliette Ré-camier. On the second point, I’m particularly interested in examining male appropriation of non-European garments. This subject often highlights the role of French women in such cross-cultural colonial exchanges; which I argue merits further nuance as my disser-tation’s fifth and sixth chapters examine French soldiers intrigue and adoption of Mame-luke attire during the Egyptian campaign of 1798.
