Clarice D. Aiello

Quantum Biology Tech (QuBiT) Lab, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, Los Angeles
Clarice D. Aiello is a quantum engineer interested in how quantum physics informs biology at the nanoscale. She is an expert on nanosensors harnessing room-temperature quantum effects in noisy environments.

Experiments suggest that nontrivial quantum mechanical effects involving spin might underlie biosensing phenomena as varied as magnetic field detection for animal navigation, metabolic regulation in cells and optimal electron transport in chiral biomolecules.

Can spin physics be established – or refuted! – to account for physiologically relevant biosensing, and be manipulated to technological and therapeutic advantage? This is the broad, exciting question that the Quantum Biology Tech (QuBiT) Lab wishes to address.

Claudia Hanson

Senior Lecturer, Karolinska Institutet
As a mother, researcher and clinician I'm dedicated to improving maternal and newborn health in low-resource settings. Having worked, lived and done research for over six years in Sub-Saharan Africa, I understood that weak health system are the main reasons why many potentially effective and cheap evidence-based interventions as well as new innovations do not have the impact they should have. Without addressing the key bottlenecks in service provision, the high burden of mortality in pregnancy and around birth will not reduce: Year for year more than 300,000 mothers die together with 2 million babies born dead (stillbirths) and 2 million newborns.

I'm an Associate Professor at KI as well as at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/aboutus/people/hanson.claudia.

My research centers much on finding a better balance between accessibility and quality of maternal newborn care and how to improve service provision.

Research description
I’m leading research to evaluate various strategies to improve the quality of care in facilities for maternal and newborn health.

ALERT (Action Leveraging Evidence to reduce perinatal Mortality and morbidity in Sub-Saharan Africa) https://alert.ki.se/

QUALI-DEC (Appropriate use of Caesarean section through QUALIty DECision-making by women and providers) https://www.ceped.org/fr/Projets/Projets-Axe-1/article/quali-dec

I also work on better metrics and indicators for maternal and newborn health and I am part of an advisory board to WHO https://www.who.int/data/maternal-newborn-child-adolescent/monitor

Together with SHIFO, a Swedish NGO, https://shifo.org/en/about/organisation/en/ we are evaluating an innovative scanning system to process health information in Tanzania.

I am the scientific coordinator for the

Sweden – Tanzania PhD training program in reproductive health &
Sweden – Uganda PhD training program in maternal and child health,
both sponsored by Sida and running 2015-2022

My main country focus is East Africa (Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi) and I also work in India, Laos and Benin.

Clemens Altaner

Associate Professor in Wood Science, University of Canterbury
I am a trained wood scientist with a focus on molecular aspects of plant cell walls. My research includes fundamental and applied projects.
At the fundamental end I am working on a better understanding of the supramolecular architecture of plant cell walls in particular the structure of cellulose fibrils and how this structure determines macroscopic wood properties.
Most of my current external research funding is for applied research on wood quality. Particularly exciting is my involvement as science team leader of the NZDFI, which envisages New Zealand as a world-leader in breeding ground-durable eucalypts, and to be home to a valuable sustainable hardwood industry based on eucalypt forests, by 2050.
As a biomaterial, wood is highly variable. This variability poses significant problems to the wood processing industry. My work is trying to reduce the variability of wood and by that gaining efficiency in the wood processing industry. The major factor restricting the incorporation of wood properties into tree breeding programmes is the lack of fast but robust analytical techniques. Therefore development of such assessments is a key part of the research, many of which are only available in this field at our world-leading NZ School of Forestry.

Mon travail a pour objectif de prendre en compte le facteur humain dans les transitions/redirections écologiques.

Pour cela, je mène une thèse en ergonomie à l’Université de Lorraine sur la conception et l’évaluation des services partagés. En parallèle, je travaille comme ergonome spécialisé dans la prise en compte du facteur humain dans les systèmes low-tech et les stratégies de sobriété.
