38. Andreas Muller

Designation Author Author Bio Associate Professor of Physics, University of South Florida My lab's research focuses on quantum optical phenomena in micro and nanostructures that are potentially useful for new optoelectronic devices. Future generations of optical components are expected to rely on quantum, rather than on classical physics, which could lead to significant improvements in communication speed and security, to improved sensors, as well as to quantum computation. Our main focus is on cavity quantum electrodynamics, that is, the use of optical cavities to tailor the electromagnetic environment of single quantum ...emitters and enhance light matter interactions at resonant frequencies. Major challenges include the fabrication of micromirrors with high reflectivity and small mode volume, and the coupling of single quantum emitters such as single atoms or single semiconductor quantum dots to a tunable microcavity. We also study quantum optical interactions in gases.more

49. Jenny Cantlay

Designation Author Author Bio PhD Candidate in Avian Sensory Ecology, Royal Holloway University of London My doctoral research focuses on avian sensory ecology and its application to conservation science. More specifically, I am combining avian visual and behavioural ecology to examine the problem of waterbirds’ fatal interactions with man-made hazards, including gill nets and wind turbines, in underwater and aerial environments. This project will increase understanding about the visual abilities of waterbirds, and species’ behavioural responses to novel visual stimuli. I am measuring the visual fields of a... wide range of waterbird species with varied foraging behaviour to provide an interspecific comparative evaluation of their visual field characteristics. This will help me to determine how their visual fields may influence their susceptibility to fishing net entrapment and collisions. I have also conducted an experiment in an aquatic environment to assess the behaviour of sea ducks to LED lights, a proposed mitigation measure for bycatch reduction. The aim of this project is to utilise a sensory ecology approach to examine avian hazard susceptibility and inform the development of technological solutions to reduce bird mortalities.more

Designation Author Author Bio Dominic is a Professor of political science at Charles Sturt University and Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences at the Auckland University of Technology. He worked at the University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand before coming to Charles Sturt in 2008. Dominic did his PhD in political science at Waikato which was published as Faith, Politics and Reconciliation: Catholicism and the Politics of Indigeneity (Huia Publishers and the Australian Theological Forum) in 2005. Also, in 2005, he was co-editor with Cynthia Piper, of an academic history of the Cat...holic Diocese of Hamilton, New Zealand Turanga Ngatahi: Standing Together: The Catholic Diocese of Hamilton 1840-2005 (Dunmore Publishing). In 2007 Dominic published Beyond Biculturalism: the politics of an indigenous minority (Huia Publishers), which is a theoretical exposition of underlying themes in Maori public policy. In 2010, Scaling-up Education Reform: addressing the politics of disparity ( NZCER Press), was written with Russell Bishop and Mere Berryman to propose a model for sustainaible and replicable school reform. Dominic's fifth book Indigenous health: power, politics and citizenship was published by Australian Scholarly Publishing in 2015. The book examines contemporary Indigenous Australian health policy as a site of contest over the nature of Indigenous citizenship and 'belonging' to the modern state. The book uses Western and Indigenous political theories to examine politics and public policy as determinants of health and to show the ways in which policy failure is partially explained by dysfunctional political relationships, policy inertia and the political system itself. The book considers the claims that Indigenous people can reasonably make on the public health system and examines what these claims mean for contemporary Australian conceptions of citizenship, democracy, and human rights. A recording of a public lecture to launch the book, at Charles Sturt University, on 18 August 2015, can be found at https://ecessprod.csu.edu.au:8443/ess/echo/presentation/95ba3ea6-201e-4e69-a378-5eac430bf0f6 In 2017 Policy Press published Dominic's sixth authored book Indigeneity: a politics of potential - Australia, Fiji and New Zealand​. The book assesses the ways in which indigenous and liberal political theories interact to consider the practical policy implications of the indigenous right to self-determination.more

71. Guillaume Thierry

Designation Author Author Bio I am passionate about the human mind and how it makes sense of the world around us. My research is devoted to understanding how we form concepts, consciously or unconsciously, how we manipulate them, through language or nonverbally, how we learn, remember, forget, and imagine. In my applied work, I strive to inspire individuals to attain higher state of awareness of the world and of themselves. I share real stories and construct fictional ones to entice the imagination of others and invite everyone along on the path to higher levels of insight, understanding, and joy. Specifically, I use ex...perimental psychology and electroencephalography to study language comprehension in the auditory and visual modalities, and mainly the processing of meaning by the human brain. I have investigated a range of themes, such as verbal/non-verbal dissociations, visual object recognition, colour perception, functional cerebral asymmetry, language-emotion interactions, language development, developmental dyslexia, and bilingualism. Since 2005, I have received funding form the BBSRC, the ESRC, the AHRC, the European Research Council, and the British Academy to investigate the integration of meaning in infants and adults at lexical, syntactic, and conceptual levels, using behavioural measurements, event-related brain potentials, eye-tracking and functional neuroimaging, looking at differences between sensory modalities, different languages in bilinguals, and coding system (verbal / nonverbal). Today I focus mainly on linguistic relativity and the philosophical question of mental freedom.more

97. David L. Haberman

Designation Author Author Bio I am interested in a wide range of South Asian religious traditions and concentrate on the medieval and modern movements of northern India. Much of my work has focused on the culture of Braj, an active Krishna pilgrimage site known for its lively temple festivals, performative traditions, and literary creations. More recently I have shifted my research interests to include the ancient city of Banaras, a pilgrimage center and temple town located on the bank of the Ganges River. My approach combines both textual research and anthropological fieldwork. Acting as a Way of Salvation: A Study of ...Rāgānugā Bhakti Sādhana (Oxford University Press, 1988) is an investigation of religious reality construction based on a close examination of a meditation technique devised by the theoreticians of Braj. I have published a book on the circular pilgrimage around Braj, entitled Journey Through the Twelve Forests: An Encounter with Krishna (Oxford, 1994). This book contemplates the complexities of circular wanderings and different strategies for dealing with the tumultuous nature of desire as it takes the reader on a spatial and mythological journey.more
