Upcoming InReach^10X Speakers

Saad Bhamla

Dr Saad Bhamla is an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. His interdisciplinary research in the physics of living systems uncovers the principles underlying ultrafast movements in biology and informs the design of bioinspired robotics. He is also at the vanguard of the emerging field of frugal science, to develop affordable and accessible tools for global health.

Dr Saad Bhamla directs The Frugal Science Academy, which aims to provide access to scientific experimentation for everyone. Hardware often determines who can or cannot participate in science, and The Frugal Science Academy bridges this gap by supporting high school students and educators in creating, building, and testing inexpensive tools for science education and global health.

Saad will be giving an InReach^10x Seminar Talk, on Thursday 1st Feburary 2024.

Helen Wheatley

Professor Helen Wheatley is Professor of Film and Television Studies, Link opens in a new windowco-founder of the Centre for Television HistoriesLink opens in a new window, and Academic Director of the Warwick Institute for EngagementLink opens in a new window. She works collaboratively with archives and curators to engage the public with the history of British broadcasting and has twice been awarded the university’s prizes for impact/community engagement for this work. Her last book, Spectacular Television: Exploring Televisual PleasureLink opens in a new window (IB Tauris, 2016) won the BAFTSS Award for Monograph of the Year in 2017. She is about to publish the monograph Television/Death Link opens in a new window(Edinburgh University Press, 2024).

Helen will be giving an InReach^10x Seminar Talk, on Thursday 29th February, 2024.

Timothy SaundersLink opens in a new window

Professor Timothy Saunders gained his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Oxford. He subsequently shifted field, and moved into developmental biology, setting up his own lab in 2013 at the National University of Singapore. He moved to Warwick in July 2021, where he is now the Director of the MSci Integrated Natural Sciences programme.

He has gained an international reputation for being a genuinely interdisciplinarity scientist at the interface of biology and physics. His lab has developed quantitative imaging approaches to observe and perturb organ development within living systems. His lab uses such data to build meaningful models of how complex shape emerges during development.

Tim will be giving an InReach^10x Seminar Talk, on Thursday 14th March, 2024.

Suzy Moat

Suzy Moat is a Professor of Behavioural Science at Warwick Business School, where she co-directs the Data Science Lab. She is also a Fellow of The Alan Turing Institute. Her research investigates whether data on our usage of the Internet, from sources such as Google, Wikipedia and Flickr, can help us measure and even predict human behaviour in the real world.

Moat's work touches on problems as diverse as linking online behaviour to stock market moves (with Preis, Curme, Stanley, et al.), estimating crowd sizes (with Botta and Preis) and evaluating whether the beauty of the environment we live in might affect our health (with Seresinhe and Preis). The results of her research have been featured by television, radio and press worldwide, by outlets such as CNN, BBC, The Guardian, Wall Street Journal, New Scientist and Wired.
