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.

Veronique Griffith
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.

Après ses études d’ingénieur en sciences de l’environnement (AgroParisTech) et son master en économie de l’énergie (IFP School), Victor a réalisé un doctorat (Université Paris Nanterre) dont la thèse portait sur le rôle de l’énergie dans le processus de croissance économique. Cette analyse se focalisait notamment sur le concept de retour énergétique sur énergie investie (EROI en anglais pour « Energy-Return-On-Investment »), qui est une mesure de l’accessibilité de l’énergie. Durant les trois années qui suivirent ce doctorat, Victor a mené des recherches dans différentes institutions. D’abord au sein de la Chaire Énergie et Prospérité et du Centre de formation sur l’Environnement et la Société de l’ENS Ulm. Ensuite en Angleterre, dans la Science Policy Research Unit de l’Université du Sussex à Brighton, où son travail s’est concentré sur l’impact énergétique des technologies numériques.
Victor Court a rejoint le Centre Économie et Management de l’Énergie d’IFP School en mars 2020. Il participe à l’enseignement et à l’organisation des trois programmes du Centre (Énergie et marchés, Petroleum Economics and Management, et le Master Économie de l’environnement, de l’énergie et des transports). Ses centres d’intérêt concernent les interactions entre changement technique, transition énergétique et développement économique dans le temps long. Victor est également chercheur associé à la Chaire Energie & Prospérité, ainsi qu'au Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire des Energies de Demain (LIED, Université Paris Cité)
En plus de ses cours et de ses publications dans différents journaux académiques, Victor s’attèle désormais à la rédaction de livres pour le grand public. Le premier d’entre eux, « L'Emballement du monde », est un essai sur l’histoire des sociétés humaines et sur la façon dont l’énergie et les rapports de domination s’y entrelacent.

As an evolutionary biologist and archaeologist, her specialisation is in bioacoustics, the evolution of sound-signalling and acoustic mapping technologies. Victoria has worked with several international museums and institutions such as the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, and has conducted solo fieldwork around the world.
Her artistic practice is driven by explorations into the sonic connections across nature; practices of decolonisation and listening deeply. The hallmark of her interdisciplinary practice is her belief that a partnership with Nature is fundamental, and that Nature is a collaborator to her design, research and sound-based work. Victoria continues to pursue her work in biodesign through research into bioacoustics and mycology which inform the cross-form approaches that structure her creative process.
