Ashish Sharma
Post-doctoral researcher, University of Notre Dame
I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Environmental Change Initiative, University of Notre Dame working with Dr. Joe Fernando and Dr. Alan Hamlet. I received my Ph.D in regional climate modeling from Arizona State University in 2012 working with Dr. Huei-Ping Huang.
My research interests lie in atmospheric sciences and land/ocean-atmosphere interactions at a range of spatial scales (regional to local) that are relevant to the management of human and natural systems. My aim is to create a new generation of high-resolution climate models capable of resolving relatively small-scale processes and impacts in a sufficiently physically based way that they can be used for future climate predictions with increased confidence. I perform targeted dynamical downscaling experiments with the overarching goal of creating "bridges" between global, regional and micro-scale modeling.
Research Interests:
Regional climate modeling: Land/ocean/lake-atmosphere interactions, lake breeze, UHI effect, land data assimilation, hydrometeorological extremes
Microscale modeling: Climate modeling at hyper-local scales (~m scales)
Climate adaptation and mitigation: Interactions between urban ecology and urban heat island in a changing climate

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Sustainable & Resilient Structures Research Group of the School of Science and Engineering at the National University of Ireland, Galway. My research focuses on optimising indoor conditioning energy while improving occupants’ indoor experience, towards comfortable, healthy, smart, low energy buildings. My interests include indoor climate quality in healthy, low energy buildings, occupant thermal comfort, HVAC systems, IoT in the built environment, and human thermoregulation.
I am currently working as a part of the HEAT CHECK project. The project aims to investigate the relationship between energy consumption, indoor environmental quality, occupant behaviour, and occupant comfort in residential buildings through a combination of in situ monitoring and building performance simulations. The goal is to improve energy audit and energy certification procedures, with the DEAP and NEAP energy compliance tools in mind. In the long term, the findings are expected to lead to comfortable and energy-efficient homes utilizing high performance renewable solutions.

Doctorant, sociologie, CESDIP, Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (UVSQ) – Université Paris-Saclay
Ancien élève de l’ENS Cachan, détenteur d’un Master 2 de sociologie de l’EHESS et auteur d’un mémoire de recherche sur le Service Volontaire Citoyen (sous la direction de Cédric Moreau de Bellaing), Aurélien Restelli prépare une thèse intitulée « Coopérer en maintien de l’ordre : la police à l’épreuve de la pluralisation », sous la direction de Jacques de Maillard.
Dans les pays occidentaux, on assiste à une logique de pluralisation des activités policières. Cela touche notamment le domaine de la police des foules ; en effet, de plus en plus d’unités, dont l’organisation et les modes de fonctionnement peuvent parfois être très différents, sont amenées à participer aux opérations de maintien de l’ordre. La question se pose donc de savoir comment, aussi bien en bas de la hiérarchie qu’au niveau de l’état-major, elles échangent, se jugent et se coordonnent pour mener à bien les opérations de maintien de l’ordre.

Ayesha Scott
Senior Lecturer - Finance, Auckland University of Technology
Ayesha is an interdisciplinary researcher, with an agenda that spans violence against women, empirical finance, personal finance and financial econometrics. Her work (particularly on KiwiSaver and personal finance) has generated media interest within Aotearoa New Zealand, and you will find her commentary in outlets such as the NZ Herald and stuff.co.nz.
Ayesha is passionate about healthy financial relationships and has ongoing projects exploring the impact of financial and economic abuse in the context of intimate partnerships. This is a critical social issue that must be addressed in NZ and internationally, and her current work aims to give voice to women facing this evasive, invasive and poorly understood form of intimate partner violence.
She is also interested in the personal financial literacy and capability of New Zealanders, including vulnerable populations, and how we might improve the financial fitness of individuals. Poor financial literacy (knowledge of financial concepts) and capability (the ability to use that knowledge to make better decisions) has a significantly negative social and economic impact on a nation, both in terms of the macro economy and individual welfare.
Broadly, her doctoral research focused on the volatility and correlation dynamics of financial assets such as stocks. The near-continuous flow of price and trade data of financial assets presents researchers with opportunities, as well as unique challenges, to capture the return dynamics of these assets individually and as a group. Such models may lead to insights regarding optimal portfolio allocation decisions, information that will directly benefit investors.
