Stefano Ferraina
Professor of Human Physiology, I'm a systems neuroscientist and neurologist by training. My current researches include the study of the cognitive aspects of motor control and the neural correlates of hierarchical learning in human and non-human primates. I'm also interested to multidimensional signal analysis and to the progress of neurotechnologies for developing innovative brain-computer interfaces.
Ethan P White

Darren Norris
Lecturer at the Federal University of Amapá, Brazil. My research interests are broad and are currently focused on the conservation of biodiversity and traditional livelihoods around waterways that traverse political (national and international), cultural and ecological boundaries. I am particularly interested in inter-disciplinary approaches, comprising population and community ecology, population biology, landscape and spatial statistics.
Terje Svingen
Assoc. Prof. Svingen is Head of Research group for Molecular & Reproductive Toxicology at the National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark (DTU Food). His research group focuses on how early life exposure to environmental chemicals, particularly endocrine disruptors, can adversely affect development and lead to disease. His research group conducts basic research alongside involvement in regulatory toxicology. Main focus is on the mechanisms of effects leading to reproductive and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Shane L Rogers
Shane is a lecturer in psychology at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia. His research interests are primarily focused on mental health and interpersonal communication. He has an interest in using technology for psychological applications, such as eye tracking, and virtual reality.

She is a Public Health Physician who specializes in Maternal Health. Dr. Norhayati is also a trainer for Cochrane reviews.
Ratnakumar Pasala
Dr Ratna Kumar Pasala, Principal Scientist currently works at the ICAR-Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research in Hyderabad, India. His group is working on Plant Abiotic Stress biology, Plant bioregulators/ biomolecules and Functional Plant phenotype. Their current projects focus on identifying and characterising traits associated with crop adaptation and tolerance to abiotic stresses and ideotype development for agro-ecological zones.
David A Ray
I am a broadly trained evolutionary biologist. I also taught high school Biology, Chemistry and Physics before returning to graduate school and earning my PhD from Texas Tech University in 2002. After that, I held postdoctoral and assistant professor positions at Louisiana State University, West Virginia University and Mississippi State University before returning to TTU as an associate professor. My research interests are in organismal and genome evolution with an emphasis on the impacts of transposable elements on both.
