Ayesha Scott
Senior Lecturer - Finance, Auckland University of Technology
Ayesha is an interdisciplinary researcher, with an agenda that spans violence against women, empirical finance, personal finance and financial econometrics. Her work (particularly on KiwiSaver and personal finance) has generated media interest within Aotearoa New Zealand, and you will find her commentary in outlets such as the NZ Herald and stuff.co.nz.
Ayesha is passionate about healthy financial relationships and has ongoing projects exploring the impact of financial and economic abuse in the context of intimate partnerships. This is a critical social issue that must be addressed in NZ and internationally, and her current work aims to give voice to women facing this evasive, invasive and poorly understood form of intimate partner violence.
She is also interested in the personal financial literacy and capability of New Zealanders, including vulnerable populations, and how we might improve the financial fitness of individuals. Poor financial literacy (knowledge of financial concepts) and capability (the ability to use that knowledge to make better decisions) has a significantly negative social and economic impact on a nation, both in terms of the macro economy and individual welfare.
Broadly, her doctoral research focused on the volatility and correlation dynamics of financial assets such as stocks. The near-continuous flow of price and trade data of financial assets presents researchers with opportunities, as well as unique challenges, to capture the return dynamics of these assets individually and as a group. Such models may lead to insights regarding optimal portfolio allocation decisions, information that will directly benefit investors.

Ayodele Oloko
Researcher, University of British Columbia
I am a Yoruba-speaking Nigerian woman who has lived and studied in Africa and abroad. My academic training so far has focused on the application of both natural and social science methodologies to critically examine human-ecological interactions within rural communities, where small-scale fishing and agriculture are both essential components of rural livelihood sustainability. My interest in this research topic stems from decades of research on traditional ecological knowledge, gender, climate change adaptations, and fisheries sustainability. I have been involved in international research collaborations, including the Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries Section (GAFS) of the Asian Fisheries Society, the Food Climate Biodiversity Project, and the Illuminating Hidden Harvests project, a collaboration between the FAO, World Fish, and Duke University. I own responsibility and have a passion for speaking for vulnerable fisherfolk and indigenous people in fisheries through my scholarship and publications.
Presently, I am a research assistant at the Fisheries Economics Research Unit, Institute for Oceans and Fisheries (UBC). I am also a biology undergraduate diversity research mentor. I mentor, coordinate, and supervise undergraduate research programmes. My doctoral research revolves around the impacts of climate change and Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing on women fisherfolk and fishermen.

Ayoush Lazikani
Lecturer in Medieval English, University of Oxford
Ayoush Lazikani is a SEDA-accredited tutor, teaching and lecturing in Old English and Middle English. Her research considers English, Arabic, Anglo-Norman, Latin, and Persian texts, and she has particular interests in literature written for solitary contemplatives. She has published widely in these areas. She is currently working on her third book, The Medieval Moon, which is about medieval encounters with the moon from around the world.
Ayoush’s first book, Cultivating the Heart: Feeling and Emotion in Twelfth- and Thirteenth-Century Religious Texts (University of Wales Press, 2015), studies the languages of feeling—especially the interrelated affections of compassion, love, and sorrow—in texts and church wall paintings.
Her second book, Cry of the Turtledove: Emotion in Christian and Islamic Contemplative Texts, c. 1100-1250 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021), is situated within the growing emphasis on 'globalization' in medieval studies, and it offers close comparative analyses of emotion in medieval Arabic and English contemplative texts.
She has also published numerous essays in the Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures, the Journal of Medieval Monastic Studies, Leeds Studies in English, and various edited collections.

Azfar’s research focuses on developing age-verification systems using electrocardiogram (ECG). Age-verification is the process of validating age-segment (adult and minor) of users before delivering certain age-appropriate products to them. Recently, online age-verification has become a crucial need worldwide to protect children from exposure to inappropriate content. However, traditional methods of age-verification, using ID cards and other official documents, are incapable of protecting users’ privacy. Azfar’s research seeks to develop an anonymous method of age verification which can safeguard privacy. He has received several research grants and awards, including MITACS Accelerate.

Azhar is a behavioural, experimental and applied economist with a keen interest in addressing issues of societal disadvantage and inequality. He especially seeks opportunities to explore real-world problems in the field of education and matters relating to Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Azhar has a strong understanding of, and experience in using, empirical research methods to evaluate programs and administrative data. He has developed an extensive aptitude for designing and implementing experimental studies in field and lab settings alike, as well as using sound econometric analysis techniques to evaluate the outcomes of such experiments. Azhar completed his Ph.D. from the Queensland University of Technology in 2019, and his research was aimed at assessing the framing effects of different incentive structures and student commitments on educational outcomes of Indigenous Australian high school students.
Prior to his Ph.D. work, Azhar spent an extended period living and working in remote Indigenous communities on Queensland's Cape York where he designed and implemented financial literacy programs for the benefit of socially-disadvantaged residents. This experience was a key driving factor in his decision to study and address real-world issues. Azhar is particularly passionate about bridging the gap between academic research and industry. For a social organisation working on matters affecting disadvantaged people in the real world, incorporating a strategic research component into their work is crucial in his eyes and he strives to develop such collaborative links and networks.
