Bratin Sengupta
Ph.D. Candidate in Chemical and Biological Engineering, University at Buffalo
My research interest lies in Separation, Pollution Remediation, and Clean Energy. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at University at Buffalo - SUNY (continuing from RensselaerPolytechnicInstitute), working on ultra-thin, ultra-fast inorganic membranes (graphenes, amorphous metal organic networks, zeolite membranes) and with high selectivity. My research expertise involves implementing Atomic/Molecular Layer Deposition or otherwise to fabricate porous materials to achieve specific separations - targeting precise industrially important molecular separation and water treatment via membranes and adsorbents. Having worked worked in Industry (at Jindal Stainless Limited), gave me insight of taking a concept and turning it into a useful product. Rigorous coursework and group projects at National Institute of Technology and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, helped me to developed into a Chemical Engineering with strong fundamental understanding and a good team player.

Brendan Boyd
Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, Economics and Political Science, MacEwan University
Dr. Brendan Boyd investigates why, how and with what effect governments learn from each other when developing solutions to critical policy issues. In particular, he has studied the role of learning and other cross-jurisdictional influences among Canadian provinces responding to climate change. He is interested in whether Canada's provincial and territorial governments act as policy laboratories, allowing for policy experimentation and innovations that can spread and inform the policy development in their counterparts across the country, as well as at the federal level. His research primarily relies on elite interviews with decision makers and policy analysts to understand the role of cross-jurisdictional learning and influences on their work.

Brendan Riggin
Lecturer in Recreation and Leisure Studies, University of Waterloo
My research focuses on the social impact of sport and its potential for positively improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities. While I acknowledge that sport is capable of having both a positive and negative social impact, my research examines how sport organizations can take a shared value approach that addresses competing stakeholder needs, provides a competitive advantage, and develops economic returns for an organization, while addressing social and environmental needs. This approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is distinct from the traditional viewpoint, which has tended to focus solely on an organization’s benefits rather than on the constituents for whom the programs are intended. By conducting program evaluations, I have been able to identify opportunities for inter-organizational relationships and have provided feedback to stakeholders with recommendations to ensure the initiatives are effectively helping their participants, thereby having the greatest social impact possible.

Professor of Religious Studies, Lafayette College
I am a professor of religious studies at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, where I study and teach on religion in the Americas, Latinx religion, and healing. I have been especially interested in understanding the importance of Mexican American religions in the United States in general. My first book, Border Medicine (NYU Press, 2014), explores Mexican American curanderismo and shows how this tradition has had an influence not only on Latinx communities, but also among many Anglo Americans. My second book, The Healing Power of the Santuario de Chimayó (NYU Press, 2017), looks at an important site of Catholic pilgrimage in northern New Mexico that is known for miraculous healing. My book tells the history of this place and shows how various populations have made meaning and found healing there. My third book, Mexican American Religions: An Introduction (Routledge, 2022), relates the historical development of Mexican American religion from the colonial period to the present.

Brett J. Baker
Assistant Professor of Marine Science, University of Texas at Austin
Microorganisms are key mediators in nearly all of the planet’s elemental cycles. However, our understanding of the ecological roles of many groups of microbes has been hampered by low-resolution analytical approaches to studying the staggering diversity present in nature. As a result the tree of life is full of branches, which remain undiscovered, and those, which have only been identified in single-gene sequencing surveys (Baker and Dick, 2013). This is a fundamental gap in our understanding of biology. Filling in the genomic gaps in the tree of life will provide a rich context to understand the evolution of life on the planet and will provide us with a genetic understanding of how microbial communities drive biogeochemical cycles.
Recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies and computational analyses have made it possible to reconstruct the genomes and transcriptomes of uncultured natural populations (Baker et al. 2010, 2012 and 2013). I have been involved in the development (Dick et al. 2009) and implementation of environmental omics since the beginning. I was involved in the first metaproteomic study of a microbial community (Ram et al. 2005) and have been using these approaches to track fine-scale evolutionary processes (Denef et al. 2010). Using these techniques I discovered deeply branching, novel groups of microbes (Archaea referred to as ARMAN) that are close to the predicted lower size limit of an organism (Baker et al. 2006). Obtaining complete genomes of the ARMAN phylum revealed that they have signatures of inter-species interactions and form connections to other species in nature (Baker et al. 2010).
More recently, my laboratory has reconstructed the genomes of hundreds of widespread, uncultured sediment microbes to understand how ecological roles are partitioned in these microbial communities. Many of the genomes belong to phyla which have no previous genomic representation and discovered three new groups of bacteria they play important roles in the global carbon cycle (Baker et al. 2015; Lazar, et al, Environ Micro). One of the new branches for which we have obtained several genomes for is a deeply branched member (Thorarchaeota) (Seitz et al. 2016). These genomes have provided rich insights into the evolutionary histories of life on the planet and we have been able to map the flow of carbon and energy, a microbial food web, through sediments with unprecedented detail (Baker et al. 2015).

Brett Shadle
Professor, Virginia Tech
As a first-generation college student, I graduated with a bachelor’s in history from Northern Illinois University, and went on to earn a doctorate in African history from Northwestern University. After several years teaching at the University of Mississippi, I arrived at Virginia Tech in 2005. I am associate director of Virginia Techs's Center for Refugee, Migrant, and Displacement Studies, which pursues research and teaching around issues of displacement, and works with displaced individuals locally and internationally.
My early research dealt with colonialism, the law, marriage, and gender in southwest Kenya, resulting in the 2006 book, ‘Girl Cases’: Marriage and Colonialism in Gusiiland, Kenya, 1890-1970. While I conducted smaller research projects on legal history and sexual violence in Kenya, my next book delved into issues of race and settler colonialism: The Souls of White Folk: White Settlers in Kenya, 1900–1920s.
Most recently, I’ve turned my attention to the history of refugees and completed a “state of the field” essay (in A Companion to African History). I am in the midst of research and writing a long book on the history of refugees who fled Ethiopia after the 1935 invasion by Italy.
When working with students, I’m particularly interested in promoting study abroad and in dissecting issues of power, race, and paternalism that often arise in service learning projects, humanitarianism, and development.
