Dr Susan Wakenshaw
WMG
Research Interests
Innovation in Services, Systems Thinking, Privacy, Values, Social representations (Psychology), Practice theory, Ontology, Interdisciplinary research (Social Sciences), Philosophy of Technology, Wellbeing, Consumer Culture Theory, Platform and Innovation, New Economic Models, and Business Models

Tara

Dr Tara Schiller
WMG
Research Interests
Dr Schiller specialises in the synthesis and characterisation of polymer and polymer nanocomposites. Dr Schiller is armed with extensive advanced materials characterisation experience including conducting in-situ experiments on Synchrotron beamlines. Dr Schiller's background in characterisation techniques such as spectroscopy, electron microscopy, thermal and mechanical analysis is perfectly suited to investigate a broad spectrum of non-polymer materials and is currently undertaking projects in cardiac research (in collaboration with the Baker IDI) and working with ceramics.

Ana

Dr Ana Raquel Nunes
Warwick Medical School
Research Interests
Public Health, Health Promotion, Disease Prevention; Global Health and Planetary Health; Health in All Policies; Wider determinants of health; Asset-based approaches and assets for health; Sustainable Development Goals and Health; Relationship between the environment and health; Human health impacts of extreme weather events; Vulnerability, Resilience, and Adaptation assessments; Resilience building interventions.; Research methodologies; Mixed methods research.

J Klein

Professor Judith Klein
Warwick Medical School
Research Interests
I am an interdisciplinary researcher interested in the integration of diverse approaches to the study of proteins and lipids and potential applications in human health. Current research interests include (1) biophysics of membrane receptors (e.g. rhodopsin and other G protein coupled receptors, interferon gamma receptors, insulin receptor), (2) systems biology of protein-protein interactions, including host-pathogen interactions, (3) biological language modeling of proteins and lipids and (4) development of new approaches to promote life-style behaviour changes, e.g. weight loss.

Lola

Dr Oyinlola Oyebode
Warwick Medical School
Research Interests
Non-communicable diseases. Nutrition. Obesity. Cardiovascular disease. Neurological disease. Mental illness. Sub-Saharan Africa. Low and middle-income countries. Urbanisation. Health Policy.

style= Professor Yulan He

Department of Computer Science

Yulan's research centres on the exploration of statistical models in representing uncertainty and the benefit they bring over earlier work in a wide range of application areas, particularly the integration of machine learning and natural language processing for text understanding.
