Dr. Hu has published more than 60 peer-reviewed research papers covering statistics, bioinformatics, statistical genetics and computational biology.
Maria J Santos
Assistant Professor in Environmental Sciences, Utrecht University.
My research combines field methods, GIS, remote sensing, statistical modeling, historical archival research, and conservation biology, history, and planning. I focus on four research areas:
* Assessing interaction and feedback mechanisms of social-ecological systems in space and time
* Identifying global change drivers through conservation histories and relate them to changes and fluxes in species and ecosystems, land use policy, and environmental governance
* Investigating how land use and climate changes affect spatial and temporal dynamics of species and habitat at multiple scales
* Use of state of the art remote sensing, GIS and quantitative analysis to answer interdisciplinary research questions
Edward R C Hornibrook
Edward Hornibrook is a Professor at The University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus and the current Head of the Department of Earth, Environmental and Geographic Sciences. He is a biogeochemist specializing in stable isotopes with research interests in land-water-atmosphere exchange of trace gases. He employs a range of techniques, including gas and ion chromatography, laser spectroscopy and stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry, to study gases that have the potential to alter Earth’s climate, in particular, methane and carbon dioxide. Key topics are how such gases are produced and consumed in natural and anthropogenic environments, and the rates and mechanisms by which they are exchanged with the atmosphere.
Mathieu Lihoreau
Dr. Mathieu Lihoreau is CNRS researcher based at the Research Center on Animal Cognition (CRCA) / Center for Integrative Biology (CBI) of the University Paul Sabatier - Toulouse III. His research interests focus on the evolutionary relationships between brains, cognition and sociality.
Lisa DeBruine
Lisa DeBruine leads the Face Research Lab (facelab.org), which investigates the social perception of faces, voices and bodies. Her meta-scientific interests include team science (especially the Psychological Science Accelerator), open documentation, data simulation, web-based tools for data collection and stimulus generation, and teaching computational reproducibility. Her projects and tutorials are available at debruine.github.io
