Research Officer, Centre for Environmental Research Innovation and Sustainability (CERIS), Atlantic Technological University
My research interests revolve around the area of biomass and bioenergy. With a background in both chemistry and environmental chemistry, I am committed to contributing to the discovery of solutions that can help reduce carbon emissions and waste build-up in local communities. My expertise lies in hydrothermal processing of biomass, which I had the opportunity to explore during my master's thesis in Switzerland. Subsequently, I focused on producing bio-petroleum oil from microalgae using hydrothermal liquefaction. Additionally, I have worked on a project aimed at valorizing black liquor to produce hydrogen and agricultural waste to produce bio bitumen binder. My proficiency in this field makes me a valuable addition to any team focused on tackling the challenges of biomass and bioenergy.

His research programme at AHRI is focussed on understanding how HIV and TB persist and replicate in the face of a hostile host immune system – with the goal of aiding the design of a safe, affordable and effective HIV-1 vaccine or effective immune-based therapies. Thumbi has a special interest in capacity building for biomedical research in Africa, primarily through the Sub-Saharan African Network for TB/HIV Research Excellence (SANTHE) programme, based at AHRI. He is a Max Planck Society Group Leader and holds a professorship at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
He is interested in understanding antiviral immune mechanisms and viral adaptation in HIV-1 subtype C infection as a pathway to vaccine development. His work has focussed on understudied populations and viral strains in resource-limited, high burden settings where knowledge of the role of antiviral immune responses, viral strains and associated genetic factors is likely to yield the greatest impact in terms of biomedical interventions like vaccines. Thumbi’s early work addressed the lack of biological tools for HIV vaccine and pathogenesis research on HIV-1 subtype C, the predominant subtype globally and in southern Africa. He generated and characterised the first infectious molecular of HIV-1 subtype C from primary isolates, and constructed the first infectious subtype C envelope-derived simian-human immunodeficiency virus able to replicate in rhesus macaque peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These tools were deposited in the NIH AIDS reagent program and remain available to researchers. The tools have facilitated in vitro and animal model studies of HIV-1 subtype C biology and vaccine development research.

Associate Professor of Population Health Sciences and Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
I am currently a tenured Associate Professor in the Departments of Population Health Sciences and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I received my Ph.D. in economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received my BA in economics from Florida A&M University. As an economist and population health scientist, my goal is to understand the causes and consequences of racial/ethnic disparities in health, particularly among maternal, child, and immigrant populations. The biggest problem that keeps me up at night? The fact that black women, regardless of how much income or education they have, are the racial/ethnic group most likely to die from childbirth-related complications and give birth to babies who die before the age of 1 year. I apply methods from economics, demography, and health services research to document and unpack the sources of these disparities, and have published in a wide variety of peer-reviewed journals such as Economics and Human Biology, the Journal of Women’s Health and the American Journal of Public Health. I believe strongly that these problems have to be tackled from an interdisciplinary perspective—even if leaving your disciplinary silo makes you a little uncomfortable along the way. I am also committed to training the next generation of researchers to become better critical thinkers, better scientists, and more informed, engaged citizens.

Professor of Evolutionary Biology, University of Oxford
I work on the evolutionary biology of species diversity. Why does life evolve into distinct species? What processes shape speciation, adaptive divergence and diversity patterns? How does diversity affect the evolution of species living in complex ecosystems? In order to tackle these questions, I combine theory and statistical analysis with molecular, genomic, experimental and field data across a wide range of animals, plants, fungi and bacteria. Current projects include comparative genomics to understand the bizarre asexual life-style of bdelloid rotifers – microscopic animals living in moss and freshwater – evolutionary time-series of pathogenic fungi from cryopreserved living samples, and ‘evolution and speciation in action’ in complex microbial communities.

Professor of Philosophy, Monash University
I am a philosopher of mind and cognitive science, with a particular interest in the nature of consciousness. I am currently Professor of Philosophy at Monash University (Melbourne), having taught previously at Macquarie University, the University of Western Ontario, the University of Manchester and the University of Oxford. I am the author of The Unity of Consciousness (2010) and Thought: A Very Short Introduction (2013), and an editor of Delusion and Self-Deception(2008), The Oxford Companion to Consciousness (2009) and Cognitive Phenomenology (2011).
My current research concerns the measurement of consciousness, and whether it is possible to build a consciousness meter. Other research interests include the nature of conscious thought, disorders of consciousness and taxonomy in psychiatry. I am a member of the CIFAR Brain, Mind and Consciousness program.
