Ventsislav Valev
Reader in Physics, University of Bath
I am a Research Fellow of the Royal Society and a Reader. Prior to that, I was a Research Fellow in the Cavendish Laboratory, at the University of Cambridge, where I was associated with Homerton College.
My research focuses on the interaction between powerful laser light and nanostructured materials. Powerful lasers constitute highly sensitive probes for material properties at the nanoscale, especially through nonlinear optical effect, such as Second Harmonic Generation (SHG). I seeks to apply SHG to chiral plasmonic nano/meta-materials in order to achieve enhanced chiroptical effects. The latter could enable the manufacturing of healthier and safer pharmaceuticals.
Research interests:
Chirality, Plasmonics, Second Harmonic Generation, Metamaterials, Nanophotonics

Vera Vasas
Research Fellow in Ecology and Evolution, University of Sussex
Vera Vasas is a computation biologist working in the field of animal cognition. Her work explores the algorithmic bases of vision and visual learning, aiming to understand the computations taking place in animal brains.
Her favourite subjects are insects - due to the dual selection pressures of living complex lives and being limited in their energy, insect brains are small and highly efficient, offering an excellent model system for studying the fundamental principles of animal minds.
Vasas is currently a Research Fellow at the University of Sussex, working on models of ant navigation with Prof Paul Graham. Previously she has worked at Queen Mary, University of London, where she studied visual cognition in bees with Prof Lars Chittka.

Veronica Heney
Research Associate in Medical Humanities, Durham University
I am an interdisciplinary medical humanities researcher, bringing together social science and literary studies methods to explore narratives and experiences of madness and mental distress. I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Medical Humanities where I am studying anxiety. In particular, I am interested in how anxiety is depicted in fiction, how these depictions are understood and assessed by people with experience of anxiety, and how anxiety might impact practices of reading and viewing fiction. This work emerges out of my PhD, which explored cultural representations of self-harm in literature, film, and television.
Throughout my work I use an interdisciplinary method to re-centre lived experience of madness and mental distress within questions of literary analysis and interpretation. Through this I explore broader questions of the relationship between the social and the cultural, the role of fictional texts in constructions of subjectivity, and the tension between personal sense-making and broader structural formations of meaning. Blending sociological discourse analysis and literary close reading I connect literary questions of genre, form, voice and narrative structure to sociological questions of identity, experience and chronicity. A short introduction to my research and the topic of narratives of self-harm, originally presented at a Time to Change event held on World Mental Health Day, can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/t3b06XaEmKA
I am currently undertaking a 2-year project at the Institute for Medical Humanities investigating narratives and experiences of debilitating anxiety. My doctoral research explored cultural representations of self-harm, as experienced and understood by people who have self-harmed. I am interested in bringing together Literary Studies and Sociological methods to explore the interplay and overlap between narrative and experience, particularly with regards to madness and mental distress. I use engaged and collaborative methods to centre lived experience within research. I am also the co-founder of Make Space, a user-led collective which seeks to facilitate more generous and nuanced conversations around self-harm.

Veronika Dulíková focuses on history, archaeology, and above all in society, material culture, prosopography, administration and Complex Network Analyses in the Old Kingdom. She created and maintains the database named Maat-base comprising data on more than 8,000 Old Kingdom officials, their titles and family relations. She applies the Complex Network Analysis method to the Old Kingdom society in close collaboration with mathematicians. Since 2010, she has been a member of archaeological missions in Egypt (Abusir).
Current project: Titles and bones of ancient Egyptian officials: New mathematical approach to analysing Old Kingdom data, 2024–2028, Czech Science Foundation, Junior Star, No. 24-10275M (Principal Investigator: Veronika Dulíková). The interdisciplinary project integrating the methods of systematic data collecting and complex network analysis with anthropological study of particular individuals buried at Giza and Abusir enables us to view, newly interconnect and evaluate known data using new perspectives that significantly expand and deepen our knowledge of ancient Egyptian society at a number of levels: an individual (physical appearance, physical activity, career length) – the family or community (family ties, nepotism) – the whole society/population (demography, changes over time).

Lecturer in Healthcare Sciences, University of Manchester
I completed my undergraduate degree at Harvard University in 2002, my clinical medical degree (MD) at Yale School of Medicine in 2009, and my PhD in anthropology at Durham University, UK in January 2019. My PhD research and subsequent book focussed on women's experiences of endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disease, and the reasons for long delays in diagnosis and experiences of endometriosis in the clinic.
I currently teach in public health with a focus on health protection, applied epidemiology, and participatory research methodologies, among other topics.
I have broad research interests within public health including how health technologies in hospitals impact on therapeutic practices. My main research focus lies in the fluidity of diagnostic categories and how this ultimately affects therapeutic practices and access to care by disadvantaged communities. I am particularly interested in ontologies of chronic diseases primarily in women and minority populations, with an emphasis on media and online visual representations of menstruation, childlessness, chronic illness, and pain.

Vianey Rueda
PhD Student in Resource Ecology Management, University of Michigan
Vianey grew up in San Elizario, Texas, a small city in the lower valley of El Paso. Before starting her first year at the University of Michigan as a PhD student, Vianey worked for the City of Boerne, Texas as the city’s Data Architect, where her task included managing the city’s water data and building a water dashboard to be used for decision-makers. Vianey first became interested in water concerns, specifically the role of science and policy in water management, through her work on the family farm and her proximity to the Rio Grande. She grew increasingly more concerned as she saw the section of the Rio Grande that passes through El Paso go dry (as it remains today) and as the livelihood of many farmers became threatened by a scarce resource and a changing climate. Vianey aspires to have a career in policy, either through advising or a political career of her own.
Vianey’s current research is focused on the 1944 Water Treaty between the United States and Mexico and using an interdisciplinary lens to finding alternative water delivery mechanisms for the Rio Grande that reduce treaty non-compliance and protect community needs in the face of increasing basin variability. Her interdisciplinary approach is to combine socio-economic, hydrologic modeling, and a legal/political analysis in order to uncover holistic solutions. An important component of her research is the continued interaction with communities of the Texas-Mexico border and the co-production of knowledge.
