Kristen CRANDELL (NCBS-inSTEM-Cambridge Postdoctoral Fellow) Department: Insect Biomechanics Workgroup, Department of Zoology Research Interests: Involve exploring the consequences of mechanical constraints. The application of engineering principles to human and animal locomotion yields accurate and testable assessments of the physical limits of an organism, which provides limits and pressures in evolutionary ecology. Arthur DUDNEY (Leverhulme Early Career Fellow) Department: Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Research Interests: The Leverhulme-funded project “Making Persianate People: Histories of Persian Literary Education Beyond Iran” will provide a history of Persian-language literary education with the aim of better understanding the Persianate (the Persian language-using) world.
VISITING ASSOCIATES Professor Wenzel GEISSLER; Division of Social Anthropology Dr Daisuke IKEMOTO; Faculty of Economics
