The Swedish scientist Johan Rockström says: "We have moved from a small world on a big planet, to a big world on a small planet". As a consequence profound change is need...
Managing at Home in Times of Crisis: How Climate, COVID-19 and Cost of Living Crises Intersect in Everyday Life and What We Can Do About It
In recent years, households in the UK have been rocked by external shocks to our already delicate social system: the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis and COVID-19. These s...
Design for Sustainability: How Mental Models of Social-Ecological Systems Shape Engineering Design Decisions
The work engineers do and the designs they create have long-term, often unforeseen, impacts on people, infrastructure, and the environment. To help ensure that the results of engin...
Conference: Supporting Students and Early Career Researchers as Participants in the 12th SNO Conference 2023
The Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization Conference is a unique yearly event dedicated entirely to promoting sustainable nanotechnology. It brings together experts and young res...
sRNAs: Critical yet overlooked regulators of bacterial denitrification
Faced with a shortage of oxygen in their environment many bacterial species are capable of switching to using nitrate, rather than oxygen to support life. Denitrification, allows b...
Who rules where over whom when the fighting stops? Advancing research on war to peace transitions and post-war environments
My PhD thesis explains how political actors try to settle questions of de facto control in the aftermath of secessionist wars (ie when a self-determination movement has fought to b...
Deciding 'if' and 'when' to act: A neuroanatomical and neurochemical investigation
When performing a voluntary action, one has to decide not only which action to choose but whether or not to initiate an action in the first place, given the potential benefits of a...
CAREER: Mechanisms and drivers underlying thermal specialization patterns in elastic recoil and muscle powered movements
This award is funded in part under the American Rescue Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). In addition, this project is jointly funded by the Physiological Mechanisms and Biomechanics...
CAREER: Physiological and Behavioral Determinants of Energy Use in Tropical Mammals
The ability to use energetically costly physiological processes to maintain body temperature at levels elevated above ambient temperature or endothermy, is a defining characteristi...
CAREER: Mlcrobial Lipidomics in Changing Oceans (MILCO)
The response of ocean ecosystems to global environmental change is an important concern for ocean scientists and the public. The proposed research focuses on developing chemical to...
