Introduction

I grew up in London and Hertfordshire and attended local comprehensive schools. From 2014–18, I completed a BA in History and French at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, and after graduating spent a year working for charity and campaign organisations. In 2019, I returned to Oxford to complete an MSt in Women’s Studies, and the following year I began my PhD in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at King’s College London. My PhD was supervised by Professor Siobhán McIlvanney and Dr Ros Murray and funded by the AHRC through the London Arts & Humanities Partnership. During my PhD, I spent three months as a visiting research student at the Gender Studies centre (l’Initiative Genre-Philomel) at Sorbonne Université (Paris-IV). After submitting my PhD, I worked as an LSE100 Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I currently sit on the committees of the Society for French Studies and Women in French UK-Ireland. As of October 2024, I am the Hamilton Junior Research Fellow in French at Queen’s.

Teaching

I have experience teaching French literature, French language, film, and critical theory. I currently offer an Option Course called ‘Feminist Perspectives on Abortion’ on the interdisciplinary MSt in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Oxford.

Research

My research sits at the intersection of French Studies and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. As Hamilton Junior Research Fellow, I am carrying out a research project on the representation of abortion in French literature and film since the year 2000. This project examines how abortion is put into and regulated through narrative, revealing the epistemic exclusion of certain perspectives on abortion across narrative forms. It interrogates the relationship between abortion rights and French national identity, shedding light on the position of abortion in the French Republican postcolonial imaginary. In this project, I analyse works by writers and filmmakers including Audrey Diwan, Suzanne Duval, Annie Ernaux, Line Papin, Colombe Schneck, Céline Sciamma, and Sandra Vizzavona.

I am also preparing my doctoral thesis for publication as a monograph. My thesis examines the ‘queer-feminist aesthetics’ of the contemporary French writer and filmmaker, Virginie Despentes, and uses Despentes’s work as a prism to think through the relationship between feminist and queer, and politics and art, in the twenty-first century.

Introduction

I completed both my undergraduate and master’s degrees at St. John’s College, Oxford, reading European and Middle Eastern Languages (Spanish & Persian) and Oriental Studies respectively. After a short break from academia, I pursued my doctoral studies in Persian literature in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago, where I have lived happily as an aspiring Midwesterner for much of the last eight years. I have also lived, worked, and studied in Spain, Iran, Oman, and India at various points over the last decade or so. 

Teaching

I have taught classes on Persian literature, Persian language, women’s writing in Islamic literary history, Islamic thought & literature, and Islamic Spain, and supervised BA theses in Middle Eastern Studies. I look forward to exploring teaching and mentoring opportunities at Queen’s for undergraduates working on Islamicate, medieval, and early modern literary traditions.

Research

My research interests are primarily in Persian literature–both premodern and modern–and other Islamicate literatures with which Persian interacted. My first monograph will focus on conceptions of wonder in Islamic thought and its importance to the creative psychology of Persian poets in Iran and India during the medieval and early modern periods.

More broadly, I am interested in the relationship between literature, history, philosophy, and theology, and as such also contribute to the field of Islamicate cultural history. Methodologically, I strive to bring insights from the history of emotions to the study of Islamicate cultural history, and to examine voices, genres, and experiments at the periphery of the Persian canon.

Introduction

I grew up in mainland China, where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in preventive medicine at Shandong University (2015) and an MSc at Peking University (2018). I began my UK journey, first as a training fellow (2019) and later as a DPhil student at the University of Oxford (2023). Currently, I am a post-doctoral researcher and lead large Biobank studies within Professor Daniel Prieto-Alhambra’s group at NDORMS. In 2024, I joined The Queen’s College as an Extraordinary Junior Research Fellow in Clinical Sciences.

Research

My research focus is on population health. In my work, I collaborate extensively with interdisciplinary teams and generate trustworthy evidence for clinical and regulatory decision-making using big data and innovative methods. I also have strong interests in modern pharmacogenomics, which harnesses the power of human genome to optimize drug’ effects (efficacy/ safety) for patients. Through this, I contribute to the understanding, translation and implementation of personalized medication for real people in real life.

Introduction

I was born and raised in New Delhi and completed my undergraduate studies in History at the University of Delhi. I later studied for both my postgraduate and Doctoral degrees in the Department of History of Art at University College London. Following my doctorate, I was a Fellow in the Department of International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science. As of October 2024 I am a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the Ruskin School of Art and an Extraordinary Junior Research Fellow in the History of Art at Queen’s.

Research

I research Indian lens-based media in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in conversation with the country’s political landscape. As such, I work between History, History of Art and South Asian studies more broadly. My PhD thesis, entitled “Picturing Non-Alignment: Photography, nation-building and identity in India, c. 1950-1975,” explored modernism in Indian photography and film in the context of independent India’s Cold War-era diplomatic networks and exchanges. At Oxford I am beginning a new project on Indian contemporary art and its engagement with ideas and archives relating to the early postcolonial state.

Introduction

I am a microbial ecologist studying the symbiotic microbiomes in social animals. I completed my Master’s degree studying island ecology of gut microbiomes of wild lemurs in the Metapopulation Research Center in University of Helsinki. I then moved to Oxford for a doctoral degree in Zoology, studying transmission of gut bacteria in social networks of wild mice. After graduating in 2021, I spent three years as a postdoc in a Probabilistic modeling research group in the department of Computing at University of Turku, before starting as a JRF at Queen’s.

Research

As a biologist, my background is in island ecology and this has led me to study animals as if they are moving islands, carrying a mini-ecosystem of bacteria inside of them. Since microbes spread through social contact, we can treat social groups of animals as ‘archipelagos’ of microbial ecosystems, and the social networks of animals as the road map (or bridge map) of the landscape in which these ecosystems live. I research these processes by collecting data from an intensively monitored population of wild mice in Wytham woods and explore how the microbial communities living inside mice move through their host’s social networks. This way I aim to develop and test a new type of ‘metacommunity theory’ for ecological communities nested within complex networks.

I am deeply fascinated by networks and the analogies between different biological and socioeconomic systems as well as the metaphors we use to talk about these phenomena. We use metaphors like the tree of descendance both in biology and linguistics and we talk about networks or waves when referring to the interconnectedness of entities in space and time. When not running after mice, or working in the lab, I am working as part of groups of artists to explore new metaphors for complex phenomena of nature.

Introduction

I completed my undergraduate, master’s and PhD degrees at Imperial College London in the Chemistry, Physics and Materials Departments over the course of 8 years. I then worked at the National Graphene Institute in the University of Manchester as a postdoctoral research associate for a year. After which I spent two years at Harvard University as a postdoctoral fellow in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. I have now moved to the University of Oxford as a Glasstone Research Fellow in Materials and an Extraordinary Junior Research Fellow in Materials of Queen’s College. 

Research

My research focuses on the theory and simulation of materials of interest for applications in energy storage technologies, from liquid electrolytes to low-dimensional layered materials. I have developed theories for how electrolytes arrange at electrified interfaces for applications in supercapacitors and batteries, developed approaches for electronic structure calculations of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene to understand its broken symmetry phases, and recently developed transferable machine learning interatomic potentials for electrolytes of interest in battery applications. Recently, I have been applying machine learning methods for atomistic simulations to investigate problems such as solid electrolyte interphase formation in batteries and charge density waves in 2D materials, and understanding these systems more generally through the development of simple theories.

Introduction

After studying history as an undergraduate, I completed my MPhil and DPhil (2022) in Chinese Studies at Oxford with time spent at Peking University and National Taiwan University along the way. Prior to coming to Queen’s in October 2024, I was a researcher at National Taiwan Central Library (2022) in Taipei and Lee Kai Hung Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Manchester China Institute (2023-24). I also worked as a Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Manchester (2023-24), where I taught courses on modern Chinese literature, East Asian visual culture and Japanese imperial history.

Research

My research looks at the Japanese Empire and its legacy in China and Taiwan. I am currently completing my first monograph, which looks at women’s writing, gendered citizenship, colonial history and translation politics in Taiwan from 1930 to the present day. Whilst at Queen’s, I am also beginning work on a new project exploring cultures of scarcity during the Sino-Japanese war (1937-45).

Introduction

I am an academic Nephrologist, Internist and Intensivist with a specialist interest in the intersection of kidney and brain health. I studied Medicine at University College Cork, Ireland. I has a Diploma in Stroke and Cerebrovascular Medicine with the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland RCPI, a Masters in Internal Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, an MSc in Stroke Medicine at the Danube University Krems, Austria and an MSc in Evidence-Based Healthcare (Medical Statistics) from the University of Oxford. I completed a DPhil in Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford. The subject of my thesis was the impact of chronic kidney disease on stroke risk, mechanisms and outcomes. Following my DPhil, I continued to explore the kidney-brain axis as an Atlantic Fellow at the Global Brain Health Institute at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and was awarded an NIH StrokeNet Fellowship to gain Stroke/Neurocritical Care trial experience at the Massachusetts General Hospital and to study genetic epidemiology at the Cerebrovascular Genomics Lab in Boston.

Research

Since August 2023, I have been a postdoctoral research fellow at the Wolfson Centre for the Prevention of Stroke and Dementia at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford. I am funded by the Guarantors of Brain and by the Alzheimer’s Association. I am also working clinically in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) at the John Radcliffe Hospital. In my research, I am using a transcranial doppler (a type of ultrasound) to investigate the impact of dialysis therapy on brain blood flow in critically ill patients in the ICU.  My other areas of active research include the impact of acute kidney injury on the risk of delirium and post-ICU cognitive disorders, the risk and mechanisms of stroke in patients with pre-eclampsia, sex differences in stroke epidemiology, and the global capacity for the management of kidney failure. I am also one of the authors of the recently published 11th edition of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine.

Introduction

I am an applied economist with research interests at the intersection of political economy, economic history, and organisational economics. I recently completed my Ph.D. in Business & Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. Before my doctoral studies, I earned a master’s degree in economics from the Barcelona School of Economics and undergraduate degrees in economics and philosophy from the University of Munich (LMU).

Research

My current research explores two related themes: 1) The historical development of state capacity, and (2) personnel selection and performance in public organizations and political parties. I combine novel data sources (archival, administrative, or proprietary) with modern econometric methods. Examples of my current projects include papers examining the electoral return to patronage jobs in early 20th century New York City, the competition between colonial companies in Canada’s early modern fur trade, the rise of Britain’s fiscal state on the eve of the industrial revolution, and the role of political parties in selecting competent candidates in contemporary Finland.

Introduction

I went to Buckswood School in East Sussex and then studied for the International Baccalaureate at Bexhill College. I next studied for a BSc in Environmental Science (University of Portsmouth), followed by an MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation (Imperial College London). After time spent at the Natural History Museum (London) and Kew Gardens, I completed a PhD in Plant Sciences at the University of Essex. I then spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bristol. In 2024, I joined the University of Oxford as a Glasstone Research Fellow in Plant Sciences and Extraordinary Junior Research Fellow at Queen’s.

Research

My research is broadly interested in understanding the extraordinary diversity of life. In particular, this focusses on plants and their changing relationships with water over the last billion years of evolution. In my work, I use a range of molecular, computational and morphological analyses of living and fossil plants. These experiments aim to answer questions about how plant innovations originated millions of years ago, how they work today, and how they might be (mal)adaptive in the future.

Introduction

I have recently joined the Mathematical Institute at Oxford as a Hooke Research fellow, following the completion of my Ph.D. in applied mathematics at Tel Aviv University. During my Ph.D., I also had the opportunity to be a summer research intern in the Mathematics of AI group at IBM Research. Prior to that, I pursued both my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in applied mathematics at Tel Aviv University. My Bachelor’s degree was part of a specialized program for high school students passionate about mathematics.

Teaching

I have taught a diverse range of mathematics courses, spanning from core subjects, like linear algebra, to those with a more physically engineered focus, such as partial differential equations and numerical analysis. At Oxford, I teach opinion courses in applied mathematics with a strong emphasis on data science applications.

Research

My research interests are broadly in the field of numerical linear algebra, focused on its applications to a wide spectrum of challenges in machine learning. Leveraging the powerful tools from numerical linear algebra, my work aims to introduce novel and interpretable insights to tackle learning tasks, ultimately resulting in the design of adaptable, scalable, and highly efficient algorithms. My research lies at the intersection of numerical linear algebra, machine learning, and statistical methodology, including kernel methods, Bayesian modeling, and uncertainty quantification.

Introduction

I attended my local public high school, Taree High School, in NSW, Australia. I then studied both my undergraduate and PhD degree in the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW Sydney, Australia. Following this, I undertook postdoctoral studies at UNSW Sydney on a project funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. In October 2021, I joined the Electronic and Interface Materials Laboratory (led by Prof Sebastian Bonilla) in the Department of Materials, University of Oxford. At that time, I was working as a postdoc on an EPSRC funded project investigating charged oxide inversion layer solar cells. In August 2023, I began as a Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellow in the same research group at The University of Oxford.

Teaching

I tutor the second year Semiconductor Materials and Devices course to first and second-year undergraduates at Queen’s and Mansfield. I also currently supervise two graduate (DPhil) students in the Department of Materials.

Research

My research interests lie broadly in the field of solar energy – that is understanding how we can make solar cells better and how they could potentially degrade when in the field. My research career has spanned several fields within solar, my PhD dissertation studied the film composition of organic semiconductors for polymer solar cells, whilst my work over the past five years has focussed on silicon solar cells, the dominant commercial technology today. More specifically, my Marie Skłodowska Curie project focusses on tandem solar cells. When we stack two different materials together, it is possible to harvest the solar spectrum more effectively. However, the interface between the two materials must be carefully considered. My goal is to design interfacial materials that simultaneously allow for light to pass through and electricity to conduct in high efficiency tandem solar cells.

Introduction

I went to school in Colombo, Sri Lanka and then read for my undergraduate and master’s degrees in history and international relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Prior to beginning my doctorate at Brasenose College, University of Oxford, I led the Politics Research practice at Verité Research, a think-tank based in Colombo. Following my doctorate, I founded Itihas, an organisation that advances history education reform in Sri Lanka. I was also a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Colombo. I took up my current academic post at Queen’s in October 2023. 

Research

My research interests are broadly in global and Sri Lankan history. My doctoral research re-opened a neglected chapter in Sri Lanka’s history. It critically re-examined the deeper roots of ethno-religious violence between Sinhalese and Moors and presented a historical narrative of cycles of intolerance and victimisation. I am embarking on a new project that focuses more broadly on shifting Islamic identities in Sri Lanka during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Publications

Some of my recent publications (excluding those under review) include:

‘Centring Conflict: Contemporary Sri Lanka in Perspective’, in Kanchana Ruwanpura, Amjad Mohamed-Saleem and Asha Abeyasekera (eds.) Handbook on Contemporary Sri Lanka (Routledge, forthcoming 2023)

‘Orthodoxy and Order: The Denial of Religious Liberty to Ahmadis in Colonial Ceylon’, Sri Lanka Journal of the Humanities Vol. 43, Nos. 1 and 2 (July 2022), co-author with Gehan Gunatilleke

Introduction

I studied medicine at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. I then moved to London to do an MSc in Neuroscience at UCL followed by a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience. After receiving my PhD in 2017 I moved to Oxford. I have since been working at the department of Experimental Psychology and the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN).

Teaching

I am module leader for the Behavioural Neuroscience Core Practical.

Research

When performing a voluntary action, one has to decide not only which action to choose but whether, at any given point in time, it is worth taking any action as opposed to doing nothing at all, given the potential benefits of acting in a particular environment.  My aim is to understand how the environmental context influences the willingness to initiate a volitional action and how it exerts this influence via brain circuits.  Understanding such process are important because impairments in decisions about if and when to act are observed across a wide range of brain disorders such as apathy and impulsivity.

To answer this question, I design behavioural paradigms in which humans and/or non-human primates (NHPs) make decisions about when it is worth acting. While humans/NHPs are performing the task, I record their brain activity with electroencephalogram (EEG) or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). I then use non-invasive brain stimulation methods such as transcranial ultrasound (TUS) to identify the causal relationship between the brain activity and behaviour.

Introduction

I spent the first 15 years of my life in the coastal city of Dar es salaam in Tanzania, followed by a few years in Oman. I moved to the UK to pursue my higher education in 2011. I hold a BSc in Biomedical Sciences with Honours from the University of Kent (2011-2014). I then moved to London to pursue an MSc in Biomedical Sciences at University College London (2014-2015). My interest in ion channel physiology and pharmacology led to a PhD in Pharmacology at UCL (2016-2020). I am now a postdoctoral Fellow on a BBSRC link award between the laboratories of Professor Paolo Tammaro and Fran Platt in the Department of Pharmacology and Autifony Therapeutics.

Teaching

During my doctorate at UCL I held teaching assistant and co-supervisory roles in pharmacology, biochemistry and diseases of ageing modules. I was recognised as an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2019.

Research

My research interests are in ion channel physiology and pharmacology, with particular interest in a novel group of chloride ion channels known as TMEM16A. Unlike other channels, TMEM16A is highly sensitive to its lipid environment, including signalling lipids. Furthermore, their ubiquitous expression in the vasculature poses severe implications for vascular disease (including Niemann-Pick Disease, type C1-disease). Thus, my research aims to elucidate the extent of lipid sensitivity of this channel by lipids and exploit this knowledge to develop lipid-like small molecules with therapeutic potential.
