Research portfolio spans across the applied sciences, from thermal manikin testing, to the cutting-edge of product development (computer-based decision aids, wireless communications, and wearable sensors). Current scientific work areas include: 1) individualized mathematical modeling of thermoregulatory responses to clothing, environment, activities, with the inclusion of components for rest and recovery, 2) studies of metabolic costs over complex terrain, 3) real-time assessments of ground reaction forces and energy demands during locomotion and load carriage, and 4) innovative approaches to data management and the application of mathematics in integrative physiology.
James B Procter
I studied Chemistry at The University of York, Computer Science at The University of Leeds, and obtained a PhD at the Australian National University. I worked on the comparison, classification and prediction of protein structure at ANU and in Germany at the University of Hamburg before joining the Jalview project in Dundee in 2004.
I co-founded the VIZBI conference in 2009, and joined PeerJ CS as Academic Editor in 2014. I serve on a variety of biological and computer science peer review panels and conference program committees. I'm interested in how we can do better science by creating better tools for data analysis and communication.

Mauro Rossi
Mauro Rossi is an expert on mapping, modeling and forecasting of landslides, floods and erosion processes in different geo-environmental and anthropic contexts. He has developed (i) new methodologies for statistical and deterministic analysis of the susceptibility and hazard posed by different geo-hydrological phenomena and for the estimation of their impacts, (ii) new statistical approaches to the definition of rainfall thresholds for triggering Landslides, (iii) early warning systems, (iv) approaches to the design optimal models for estimating landslide susceptibility and for the assessment of social risk posed by landslides and floods. He has also developed specific softwares for the landslide susceptibility modelling, for the landslide magnitude modelling and for the joint modeling of landslides and erosion processes in relation to different scenarios of geomorphological, climatic, vegetational and anthropic changes, in order to adequately characterize the hillslopes and the hydrological basins dynamics.
