Miranda Sheild Johansson
Senior Research Fellow in Social Anthropology, UCL
I am a social anthropologist specialising in the dynamics of fiscal systems and the sociality of tax, with a particular emphasis on the Andean region, where I have undertaken long-term fieldwork in a rural Quechua-speaking community, as well as in the peri-urban zones of Cochabamba city. In 2022 I commenced my UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project, ‘The Sociality of Tax: A Multiperspective Study of Fiscal Relations (SocTax)’. The project investigates fiscal regimes and cultures in an anthropological fashion comparing Bolivia, the UK, and Sweden, and exploring the types of social relations that paying and not paying tax produce in different ethnographic settings. I'm a member of the Anthropology of Tax network (tax-anthro.net), founder and convenor of EASA's Anthropology of Tax Network, and affiliate of UCL's Centre for Capitalism.
I am also a member of the ERC-funded project 'Anthropologies of Extortion', working as part of an international groups of scholars to map and analyse cultures of extortion. In 2017 I was awarded the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship for my project 'Becoming a Taxpayer: Fiscal Expansion and Economic Subjectivities in Bolivia'. Before that I worked as a Teaching Fellow in the Anthropology department at UCL 2016/17. I received my Ph.D. in Anthropology from the London School of Economics (ESRC-funded) in 2014, MSc (Research) from London School of Economics (ESRC-funded) in 2007, and MA (hons) in Social Anthropology from the University of Edinburgh in 2005.

Mireille Rebeiz
Chair of Middle East Studies & Associate Professor of Francophone & Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies, Dickinson College
I received my doctorate in Francophone Studies from Florida State University in 2012. I have a master’s degree in International Law and Human Rights from Université de Rouen in France, and a bachelor’s degree in law from Saint Joseph University in Lebanon. My teaching and research focus on the intersectionality of law, gender, sexuality, oral history, and trauma in the context of armed conflicts with a focus on the Middle East and North Africa. My first book, "Gendering Civil War. Francophone Women’s Writing in Lebanon", for which I earned the AAUW American Fellowship, appeared with Edinburgh University Press in 2022. Nominated for the John Leonard Prize, this book examines French-language narratives published between the 1970s and the present day by Lebanese women authors writing on the Lebanese civil war of 1975-1991. My second book examines Hezbollah’s unlawful activities in Lebanon since 1982, and the manuscript is currently under consideration. My most recent research project focuses on the Beirut barracks bombing of 1983 that killed 241 American servicemembers and 58 French parachutists. In this project, I explore gaps in Lebanese, French, and American histories and writes veterans’ oral stories. In addition to my books, I published several peer reviewed articles in French and English in national and international journals. I am also finishing a second doctorate in international law and terrorism at Penn State Dickinson Law.

Mohammed Hassan
Associate Professor of Physics and Optical Sciences, University of Arizona
Mohammed Hassan is an Associate Professor of Physics and Optical Sciences at The University of Arizona (UA). He has 13 years of experience in the Attosecond Physics and Ultrafast Electron Microscopy and imaging research fields. He earned his Ph.D. from Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, Munich, Germany, Prof. Ferenc Krausz group in 2013. He joined Prof. Ahmed H. Zewail’s group at Caltech as a postdoctoral scholar through 2017.
Earlier in his career, Dr. Hassan developed the light field synthesizer to generate the first optical attosecond pulse, the shortest light pulse documented in the Guinness World Records. Exploiting this tool, he measured the time an electron takes to respond and move. His breakthroughs have been published in high-profile journals.
He is currently well known in his field of attosecond Physics for developing the attosecond electron microscopy “Attomicroscopy”, a camera that will film the electron motion in action. He used this tool to image the electron motion in the solid state. This electron imaging opens a new era in ultrafast electron imaging and will lead to many breakthroughs and high-impact scientific achievements. Attomicroscopy imaging opens a new window to the quantum world. Recently, he has granted a patent for his Attomicroscopy camera, US Patent, Application No.16394920.
Furthermore, he established a new methodology to sample the light field of ultrafast laser pulses and a new methodology to measure the electronic delay response in the neutral matter. Also, he demonstrated the attosecond optical switch and the capability to encode data on ultrafast laser pulses, which paves the way to establish attosecond and femtosecond optoelectronics working at the petahertz speed.
Hassan received the international Max-Planck fellowship in 2009. He received the Air Force Young Investigator Award (YIP) in 2019. Hassan also received many prestigious awards for his Attomicroscopy project from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation 2018, the W. M. Keck Foundation 2019, and recently the Inaugural AFOSR Director’s Research Initiative (DRI) Award 2022.
