V. Gerard (Jerry) Comizio
Professor of Law, American University
V. Gerard (Jerry) Comizio, of American University, teaches courses on U.S. and international banking law, virtual currency law, regulation of financial institutions and business law compliance and ethics.
Professor Comizio is a leading authority on financial services regulatory, transactional, and compliance matters. He had extensive experience in private practice representing a wide range of financial services companies, including both domestic and foreign banking organizations, non-bank financial institutions, online banking, fintech companies, virtual currency exchanges and private equity firms.
Professor Comizio has written extensively about current issues in financial services regulation. He is the author of International Banking Law (West Academic 2016), one of the first major casebooks on international banking law issues. He is also the contributing author to three books on financial services issues: Winning Legal Strategies for Banking Law, Aspatore Books (2005); The Bank Investor Relations Handbook, America’s Community Bankers (2003); and The Bank Founder’s Guidebook, SNL Securities (1999).
Professor Comizio also focuses on the emerging legal regulatory and policy framework governing virtual currency activities and other transformative financial technologies. He currently teaches one of the first virtual currency law courses in the country, which explores the emerging legal and regulatory framework under the corporate, securities, commodities, banking, money transmission, anti-money laundering, fintech, tax, and commercial laws governing virtual currency and block chain activities.
Professor Comizio has written extensively on a wide range of virtual currency law issues including Virtual Currencies: Growing Regulatory Framework and Challenges in the Emerging Fintech Ecosystem}, 21 N.C. Banking Inst. 131 (2017) https://scholarship.law.unc.edu/ncbi/vol21/iss1/10/, and The cyber threat looming over virtual currencies, American Banker (May 6, 2021). He is also author of Virtual Currency Law: The Emerging Legal and Regulatory Framework, Wolters Kluwer (2022), one of the first major casebooks on digital asset law.
Professor Comizio has been featured in the American Banker’s annual “Washington Insider’s Survey of the 25 Most Influential People Involved in Financial Services Regulatory Issues.” He also has regularly appeared on television, internet media, and radio discussing current financial services regulatory issues, including NPR, Fox News, Bloomberg TV, Wall Street Journal Online, Dow Jones Online and CBS radio, and has been widely quoted on financial services issues in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Financial Times, Reuters, Bloomberg and other major newspapers and publications. He has been consistently recognized by Chambers, Legal 500 and other major law firm practice rankings.
Professor Comizio joined AUWCL from Fried Frank Shriver Harris and Jacobsen LLP, where he was a partner and chaired their banking practice. Prior to that, he was a partner and chaired the banking practice at Paul Hastings LLP, and was managing partner of the DC Office of Thacher Proffit and Wood LLP. Prior to private practice, he was for many years the deputy general counsel of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Thrift Supervision (currently the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) and its predecessor, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, and a senior attorney in the Division of the Corporation Finance in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In 1994, he led an interagency task force related to the U.S. Senate and House financial services committee hearings held in response to widely publicized abuses in the initial public offering market for bank mutual to stock conversions. This task force was widely credited with initiating comprehensive regulatory reform of this area at the federal and state level.
Professor Comizio has served as a member of the Governing Committee of the U.S. Conference on Consumer Finance Law and the Board of Advisors of the University of North Carolina Law School Center for Banking and Finance. He is also the former chairman of the Trusts and Investments Subcommittee of the American Bar Association’s Banking Law committee and the Advisory Board of the George Washington Law School Center for Law Economics and Finance. He recently served as a member of the Economic Policy team’s Financial Institutions subcommittee for the Biden-Harris campaign.
Professor Comizio received his master’s degree in global policy from the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, in 2020, his LLM in Financial Services Regulation from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1983, his JD from the Pace University School of Law in 1980 where he was case and comments editor and his BA from Fordham University in 1977.

Valeria Skafida
Senior Lecturer in Social Policy, The University of Edinburgh
My research interests and expertise straddle the disciplines of social policy, sociology and public health. For my research I use primarily advanced quantitative analysis methods and longitudinal survey data. Most of my research to date has involved using population cohort study data to understand how children’s health and wellbeing outcomes are socially stratified, and how early experiences or events relate to subsequent outcomes. I have dabbled with topics related to infant feeding and children's eating habits, and my more recent work explores the lives of women and children affected by domestic abuse.

VALERIE MØLLER is Professor Emeritus at Rhodes University. She was appointed to the new chair of Quality of Life Studies at Rhodes in the Institute of Social and Economic Research in 2007. Before that she was director of ISER (1998–2006) and headed the Quality of Life Research Unit at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa, in the 1990s. She grew up in the southern United States and Switzerland. A sociologist by training, she received her Ph.D. from the University of Zürich. She and her architect husband arrived in Africa in 1972 in a VW kombi and stayed. She has lived and worked in southern Africa since that time.
Together with South African colleagues, she initiated the South African Quality of Life (SAQoL) trends study that has tracked the personal well-being of South Africans from all walks of life since the early 1980s. In 1996 and 2004, together with Alex Michalos, editor of the leading international journal on quality-of-life, Social Indicators Research, she organised ‘roving conferences’ to promote social indicators and quality-of-life research among South African scholars. The 2004 ‘Roving Conference’ held at Rhodes University formed part of the University’s Centenary celebrations.
Valerie Møller has published some 200 research articles, chapters in books, and research monographs covering a wide range of topics related to quality of life and well-being.

My research interests aim to uncover interactions, mechanisms and feedbacks among various components of natural and human-impacted systems. My group strives to promote both the development of process-oriented models of water, energy and element cycles at various scales and the integration of data and models. The specific foci are land surface hydrology, ecohydrology, floods and climate impact assessments, with a growing emphasis on uncertainty quantification in all these research domains. In the years to come, we will apply both rigorous computational models and field data collection to better understand: water, energy and carbon dynamics in tropical and polar ecosystems; coupled processes of surface-subsurface hydrology and flooding hydrodynamics in natural and managed environments; and impacts and feedbacks associated with the propagation of climate and weather dynamics through hydrologic systems.

I am a Research Fellow of the Royal Society and a Reader. Prior to that, I was a Research Fellow in the Cavendish Laboratory, at the University of Cambridge, where I was associated with Homerton College.
My research focuses on the interaction between powerful laser light and nanostructured materials. Powerful lasers constitute highly sensitive probes for material properties at the nanoscale, especially through nonlinear optical effect, such as Second Harmonic Generation (SHG). I seeks to apply SHG to chiral plasmonic nano/meta-materials in order to achieve enhanced chiroptical effects. The latter could enable the manufacturing of healthier and safer pharmaceuticals.

Veronique Griffith
Lecturer in Healthcare Sciences, University of Manchester
I completed my undergraduate degree at Harvard University in 2002, my clinical medical degree (MD) at Yale School of Medicine in 2009, and my PhD in anthropology at Durham University, UK in January 2019. My PhD research and subsequent book focussed on women's experiences of endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disease, and the reasons for long delays in diagnosis and experiences of endometriosis in the clinic.
I currently teach in public health with a focus on health protection, applied epidemiology, and participatory research methodologies, among other topics.
I have broad research interests within public health including how health technologies in hospitals impact on therapeutic practices. My main research focus lies in the fluidity of diagnostic categories and how this ultimately affects therapeutic practices and access to care by disadvantaged communities. I am particularly interested in ontologies of chronic diseases primarily in women and minority populations, with an emphasis on media and online visual representations of menstruation, childlessness, chronic illness, and pain.
