I have over 10 years of experience in public engagement, impact and evaluation.

After completing a PhD in Cancer Immunotherapies I went on to develop my skills in public engagement, research impact and researcher development in various roles.

I have been working as an independent trainer, consultant and evaluator in the higher education sector for over five years through my company Engagement with Impact. I also work as a part-time researcher developer for Edinburgh Napier University.

"After the successful delivery of different projects I realised how much I believed in genuine two-way dialogue with the public more than sitting in a lab with my pipette!

Researcher, expert in nanostructural materials characterisation. I have worked in ST Microelectronics (Advanced R&D, Crolles, France) on the characterisation of selectively grown heteroeptiaxial thin films and on the evaluation of industrial equipment for this task. Since 2002 I work in the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos” in Athens on the growth and structural characterization (esp. with Electron Microscopy) of a large variety of nanomaterials and nanostructures. Currently I coordinate the Solar ERANET project Nano4CSP “Nanomaterials for reduced maintenance costs in Concentrated Solar Power plants” and he sub-coordinated an EU project for the promotion of the field of Advanced Materials to the European public (see www.materialsfuture.eu).

Researcher Development Manager - University of Dundee

# data[].attributes.body
I have just returned to the University of Dundee after 12 years of running my own scientific animation and training consultancy, Vivomotion.

I started my career in Life Sciences with a degree in Biochemistry and a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of Dundee.  I moved to San Francisco to carry out a Wellcome Trust Travelling Fellowship at UCSF, with the final year of my fellowship carried out back in Dundee.

During this time, I co-founded the postdoctoral association and set up initiatives to help postdocs with their career aspirations.  I also completed a postgraduate certificate in teaching and learning in higher education which led me to the idea of using animation as a teaching tool.  I decided to re-train and completed a Masters in Animation and Visualisation at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design intending to set up a business, Vivomotion, that created animations and graphics for science communication.  A suite of training workshops on the visual presentation of research were also developed which I have delivered for researchers at universities across the U.K. and Europe.

Having been asked to share my career journey many times, I decided to set up a podcast that shared inspiring career stories of individuals who had completed a degree in science (Opportunities in Science).

I am looking forward to sharing some of my knowledge as part of the Making an Impact events programme.

I'm an award-winning journalist and audience development specialist with more than 20 years experience in a range of writing and management roles.

I was Senior Customer Editor for Reach Plc's North West websites, including two of the UK's biggest regional news brands, the Liverpool Echo and the Manchester Evening News, which included building audience loyalty, overseeing a portfolio of 40-plus newsletters, managing a team of social media editors and using data analysis to inform editorial strategy.

I now work freelance, as a writer and audience development consultant, helping organisations build meaningful relationships with their users. And I'm editor of the newsletter Stored Honey, which explores the Arts scene of the North West of England, and co-presenter of the podcast Beatles City.

Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Liverpool. My research focuses on socio-ecological systems. I mix quantitative and qualitative research, natural and social sciences, to try to simplify and visualise the complex interactions between humans and nature in the context of coastal management. My research interests also include how to bring my research into policy and the use of gamification for engagement. All of these interests are informed by my background in participatory approaches (e.g. citizen science, environmental education). This drives me to look for participatory approaches in my research and co-creation when possible.

When I won Vitae's People's Choice Award for my 3 Minute Thesis, I caught the bug with training and presentation skills! That led me to conducting public engagement/presentation training while I was still doing my PhD; I've since gone on to develop my own suite of PhD workshops, focusing on researcher wellbeing and productivity. I've had the privilege of running workshops for PGRs in universities around the UK including, now, Liverpool! I am now also a work/play coach, supporting self-employed entrepreneurs/freelancers to design their work-lives to enjoy so much more rest, ease and play.

I work with "leaders in the making" in highly intensive research environments and fast growth organisations with a sustainability agenda.

I bring my rich multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural experience to my work. I started my career in Paris in market research and brand development before moving to the UK where I worked in for start-ups and SMEs in the high-tech sector, focusing on high value clients in the UK, US, and EMEA. I then worked for 10 years at the University of Cambridge  Business School and Centre for Personal and Professional Development, working on flagship leadership and wider development programmes.

I love to combine 21st century skills, mindsets and wisdom, to boost leadership capabilities and nurture innovative cultures to shape sustainable futures.

I focus on three areas:

- human-centric facilitation for your strategy days and culture workshops

- strengths-based leadership development workshops and programmes

- leadership coaching, using the latest applied neuroscience/leadership research to foster transformational change for impact.

I am a mentor on the Future Leaders Fellows Development Network and a coach on the Homeward Bound Leadership Programme, which aims to heighten the influence and impact of women in making decisions that shape our planet.

I am an off-site PhD student in the Department of Women's and Child Health with over 15 years of experience in mental health research, mentorship and teaching. My primary areas of interest revolve around adolescent and child mental health. My PhD thesis is on mother-child interaction and neurodevelopmental outcomes in HIV exposed but uninfected children in Malawi. I serve as an Investigator of Record/Site PI on a multi-site RCT evaluating a group-based intervention to enhance mental health and ART adherence among youth living with HIV in low-resource settings (Funded by NIH). I am also a Country Lead on a 4-year training and mentorship grant funded by The Science for Africa Foundation which is implementing the second phase (DELTAS Africa II). Through this grant 3 PhD students and 3 Masters students are pursuing their studies in child brain health.

I am a Reader in theoretical physics and a UKRI Future Leader Fellow. I use advanced computing to gain insight into strongly interacting quantum field theories, primarily in the context of high-energy particle physics. I employ lattice field theory, a non-perturbative framework that enables first-principles investigations of strongly coupled systems. Making use of lattice regularization as a broadly applicable tool, I address questions that are important both theoretically and phenomenologically, within and beyond the standard model of particle physics. My work currently focuses on composite dark matter, composite Higgs models, supersymmetric lattice field theories, and the application of quantum computing to avoid so-called sign problems. I help run the University's Quantum Technologies Network (tinyurl.com/UoL-QuantumTech).
