Dr. Mangine recieved his doctorate from the University of Central Florida under the guidance of Dr. Jay Hoffman and Dr. Jeffrey Stout. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Exercise Science and Sport Management at Kennesaw State University. His primary research focus is on resistance training adaptations and predicting sports performance.
Javier Manjarrez
He received a B.S. in Biology, M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Ecology from the
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico (UNAM). He is currently a Professor of Biological Sciences at the Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Mexico. Most of his research interests have centered on the behavioral ecology of snakes and evolutionary processes that shape ecological diversity in sympatric species. Although he prefers working with snakes, his research has involved a variety of animals ranging from hylid frogs to domestic birds and mammals. Javier teaches courses in ecology, animal ecology, and statistics.
Denis J. Marcellin-Little
Dr. Marcellin-Little is a veterinary orthopedic surgeon who has been doing research for approximately 20 years in the field of joint replacement, limb deformities, physical rehabilitation, and biomodeling/biomanufacturing. He has a particular interest in the interface between computers and orthopedics. He is a member of the Center of Additive Manufacturing and Logistics at North Carolina State University and an adjunct in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering (at NCSU), Industrial and Systems Engineering (at NCSU), and Physical Therapy (at UT-Chattanooga).
Giuseppe Marcolin
Giuseppe Marcolin is an Associate Professor in Sports Science at the Department of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Padova, Italy. He obtained a BSc in Physical Education (ISEF) at the University of Bologna. Then, he obtained his MSc in Human Movement Sciences and his PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Padova. His scientific activity is devoted to biomechanical and electromyographical analysis applied to functional assessment in sports training and rehabilitation. He mainly focuses on understanding the influence static and dynamic balance control has on sports performance among athletes and fall risk among older adults. He is a member of the Italian Society of Motor and Sport Sciences (SISMES). He collaborated with the International Sports Engineering Association (ISEA) as a member of the organizing committee of the ISEA Winter School editions.
Johannes T Margraf
Johannes Margraf is a professor of theory and machine learning in physical chemistry at the University of Bayreuth. His group focuses on using and developing machine-learning and electronic structure methods to study chemical reactions and discover new functional materials. He obtained his PhD at the University of Erlangen, working with Timothy Clark and Dirk Guldi on the theoretical and experimental characterization of quantum dot solar cells. Subsequently he joined the group of Rodney Bartlett at the University of Florida working on method development in coupled cluster theory and single particle methods, and worked as a group leader at TU Munich and the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin, in the theory department lead by Karsten Reuter.
Maria Paula M Marques
Maria Paula Marques (October 1960, Portugal) received her MSc in Physical-Chemistry (1987), her PhD (1995) and her habillitation (2018) from the University of Coimbra (Portugal). M.P.M. Marques is currently an assistant professor at the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra, assistant-coordinator of the R&D Group “Molecular Physical-Chemistry” and head of the “Chemoprevention, -Therapy & -Toxicology” laboratory. M.P.M. Marques has authored 140 scientific papers, 8 book chapters and co-edited 3 books. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a member of the Clinical Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy for Medical Diagnosis (CLIRSPEC), the portuguese delegate for the COST Action Raman4Clinics, an associate editor of RSC Advances and a member of the editorial board of Recent Patents on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery.
Her research is centred on the development of metal-based antitumour agents and on the early diagnostics of cancer, using vibrational spectroscopy, including neutron techniques and synchrotron-based methods.
Pablo A Marquet
Dr. Marquet is a Chilean Ecologist, known for his contributions in the fields of macroecology, theoretical ecology, conservation, and global change, and author of 190 publications including three books. Early in his carrier he started working on the quest for general principles underlying the complexity of ecological systems that contributed to the disciplines of metabolic ecology and ecological scaling. His work on the relationship between the size of organisms and their abundance proved to be of great generality as well as his work on the evolution of body size on landmasses; connecting body size to area, evolution, and fitness. He pioneered the development of Metapopulation models in dynamic landscapes uniting concepts from epidemiology and ecology and the emergence of power laws in ecological systems, being among the first to provide empirical evidence of Self-Organized Criticality in ecological systems using the extinction record of birds in Hawaii. In parallel, he carried important work on the conservation of vertebrate species and on the impact of climate change in the Americas and Europe. His current work focuses on the emergence of ecological diversity, the drivers and consequences of human cultural complexity and the integration of theories in ecology. He is member of the Chilean National Academy of Science, a former Guggenheim Fellow and member of the science board of several national and international organizations.
Nicholas Marshall
BS, Chemistry/Mathematics, KSU, 2004. PhD, University of Georgia, 2010. (Locklin) NRC Postdoctoral Associate, NOAA, 2011-2013. Visiting Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry, Berea College, 2013-2015. Currently Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry, USC Aiken. Editor of RSC's ChemSpider Synthetic Pages. Our interdisciplinary research group develops new reactions and techniques for modifying materials, solving problems in energy, sensing, and consumer-facing products.
Stephen Marsland
Stephen Marsland is a professor of mathematics at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. He works on mathematics of conservation biology, particularly birdsong analysis, on differential geometry of machine learning, diffeomorphic shape analysis, and game theory.
Lennart Martens
Professor of Systems Biology at Ghent University, Belgium and Group Leader of the Computational Omics and Systems Biology (CompOmics) group at VIB, Belgium. Editor or Editorial Board Member for several other journals, including PLoS ONE, Proteomics, Amino Acids, Molecular BioSystems, and BBA - Proteins and Proteomics. Author of three text books in the field of Proteomics Informatics.
Julien GA Martin
I am generally interested in understanding the causes of variation in life history traits in wild populations, with particular on the causes and consequences of within-individual variation in life history. The focus of my research is the evolutionary ecology of reproductive strategies and understanding the impact of environmental variation on adaptation and evolution of traits.
