Speakers at Soapbox Science Brighton 2022
Aishwarya Padmanabhan
Picking Fly Brains : How fruit flies can help understand human behaviour
Aishwarya is a PhD Student in the neuroscience group in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Sussex, working in the Alonso Lab where researchers use molecular biology, genetics, advanced microscopy & behavioural approaches to study how genes control the formation and function of the brain.
Dr Charanjit Kaur Khosa
Searching for needles in a haystack: uncovering mysteries of the Universe.
Charanjit was at our virtual event last year and will now share her science in person on the seafront! Charanjit is a Particle Physicist, formally at the University of Sussex and now a lecturer at the University of Bristol, and her research uses machine learning to study particle physics beyond the Standard Model, and in particular, dark matter.
Dr Eleanor Jayawant
Blood Cancer: Does It Compute?
Eleanor is a Research Fellow in Laboratory and Computational Systems in biology, based in the Brighton & Sussex Medical School. Eleanor's recent focus has been on understanding the signalling networks in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma using computational models & lab experiments.
Dr Ana Filipa Moutinho
How do species adapt to changing environments?
Filipa is a Research Fellow based in the Evolution, Behaviour and Environment subject group in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Sussex, who uses population genetics to study molecular evolution.
Dr Hadia Almahli
Chagas disease: how we can help as scientists?
Hadia is a research associate in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, and a lecturer in the school of Pharmacy at the University of Sussex, with expertise in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Hadia works on the development of drugs from natural products such as plants, and at last year's virtual event she spoke about how chemists can develop drugs from plants such as foxgloves.
Louise Davidson
Working together to save lives
Louise is a PhD student in the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex and for Health Security Agency. Louise's research looks at social identity and multi-agency emergency response, using simulations of emergency events to develop and test recommendations for managing major events.
Dr Luana Olivieri
A midsummer light's dream: The science of Optics and Photonics.
Luana is a Research Fellow in photonics (the use of light in technology) in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Sussex. She uses highly energetic laser beams to investigate nonlinear optical systems.
Poppy Joshi
Quantum physics in action: Brains, Batteries and beyond!
Poppy is a PhD Student in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Sussex, working in the Quantum Systems and Devices Group where she is studying advancing imaging systems of Bose-Einstein condensates microscopy.
Rosie Graham
How can enzymes help us solve the plastic problem?
Rosie is a PhD Researcher the University of Portsmouth and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, who is currently studying at the Centre for Enzyme Innovation to characterise and engineer plastic degrading enzymes.
Dr Ruijie Wang
Being 'GambleAware': How science and tech can help and why collaboration matters.
Ruijie is a psychology Lecturer in the Cyberpsychology Group at Bournemouth University, working on a Responsible Gambling Project studying the transparency of gambling websites. Ruijie investigates the design and development of interactive systems, applying machine learning to assess human behaviour from physiological information such as eye tracking.
