]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/sue-abdulla/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I was born in Burton-on-Trent just south of Derby. Burton is known as the brewing capital of Britain and at one time produced one in four of the pints sold in across the country! I am a senior lecturer in pre-registration nursing based at the Kedleston Road site.&#160;I qualified as a nurse in September 1996 from the University of Wolverhampton and my first post was as a staff nurse at the Queens Hospital Burton. I worked in elderly care as a newly qualified nurse and then moved to the Accident and Emergency department at what was the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary.&#160;I have always had a passion for teaching, my first experience of this was as a mentor to a new HCA whilst working at Queens Hospital. Once I was in A&#38;E I continued the role of HCA mentor and also became a mentor for student nurses. This passion led me to then work in the corporate nursing team at Derby where I became involved in the running of the HCA training programme. From there I became a clinical nurse educator, a role I loved and stayed in for 15 years!&#160;I finally decided it was time for a change and so in 2015 I applied for, and was successful in, becoming the Lead Dementia Nurse at the Royal Derby Hospital. This was a fantastic job, one I enjoyed more than any of my other clinical roles and fuelled my passion for the care of people with dementia.&#160;]]></about><image><![CDATA[]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Lecturer]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Tolulope Bayode Abejide]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Lecturer in Forensic Science (CSI, Ballistics with Digital Forensics)]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/tolulope-abejide/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am a Lecturer in Forensic Science at the University of Derby.

My work is internationally recognised for its critical and original contributions to understanding how marginalised communities pursue justice amid political violence, repression, and structural inequality, and it increasingly shapes both scholarly debate and policy engagementMy monograph &#34;Transitional Justice and the Kurdish Conflict: A Grassroots Approach&#34; (Routledge 2025), winner of the 2026 Serbest Best Book Award in Social Sciences in Kurdish Studies, &#160;builds on my PhD in Transitional Justice from Ulster University.&#160; The book advances an agenda&#8209;setting framework by foregrounding multilayered victimhood shaped by state violence, identity, language, gender, and activism. As Turkey entered a peace process in 2025, this work has taken on renewed significance, prompting invitations for policy consultations, public engagement events, media interviews, and practitioner training in the UK and internationally. Alongside the monograph, I have published in leading journals including the International Journal of Transitional Justice, Journal of Human Rights Practice, and the Journal of Disappearance Studies.My research programme is structured around four interconnected strands. The first extends my core expertise, with two current articles examining political responses to enforced disappearances in divided societies and community&#8209;based truth&#8209;recovery practices. The second one is on environmental justice &#8211; conflict nexus. As PI on a British International Studies Association&#8211;funded project, I examined environmental risks in the Kurdish region during conflict&#8209;to&#8209;peace transition. This work contributes to emerging debates on ecological harm, resource governance, and environmental violence in protracted conflicts. The third strand investigates the role of social infrastructure in shaping social justice outcomes in the UK and Turkey, with a particular focus on young people.Previously, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Queen&#8217;s University Belfast and as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Cambridge, generating research and policy outputs on peace, conflict, and transitional justice. I have taught at Trinity College Dublin and Ulster University&#160;across subjects including transitional justice, peace and conflict studies, international law, criminology, and sociology.I bring extensive fieldwork experience from Colombia, Serbia, Kosovo, Turkey, and Ireland, including research in Istanbul on the legacy of the Turkish&#8211;Kurdish peace process and recognition and reparations linked to the Armenian genocide, as well as work on gender dynamics in the Colombian peace process and research with asylum seekers in the UK.Beyond academia, I have significant policy and civil society experience. I served as a political advisor in the Turkish Parliament, contributing to legislative initiatives on human rights, minority rights, gender, and peacebuilding. I am also the co&#8209;founder and chair of the DEMOS Research Association for Peace, Democracy, and Alternative Politics, where I have led research teams, hosted the DEMOStanSesler podcast, and initiated the Transitional Justice Updates from Turkey series. I continue to work within the DEMOS Research Collective and provide consultancy to international NGOs on justice, peace, and gender.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/nisan-alici-university-of-derby-academic.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Business|Law]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Humanities|Law and Creative Arts]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Business|Law]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Nisan Alici an early career academic at the University of Derby, specialising in transitional justice, conflict resolution, and human rights.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Cate Allen]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Programme Leader/ Senior Lecturer]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/cate-allen/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am the Programme Leader for the MSc Hand Therapy, additionally, I am a Senior Lecturer in Occupational Therapy.]]></about><image><![CDATA[]]></image><location><![CDATA[Kedleston Road, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Occupational Therapy]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Health and Social Care]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Occupational Therapy]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Larissa  Allwork ]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Associate Professor in History and Impact]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/larissa-allwork/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am an Associate Professor in History and Impact based in the University Research and Knowledge Exchange Office (URKEO) at the University of Derby.

I enjoyed it so much that it prompted me to undertake a nursing degree and I graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2004. My first nursing role was in a busy respiratory unit, where I became the palliative care link for the ward. This sparked my passion for palliative nursing and I went on to work in both hospice and hospital settings. In 2013 I was awarded an Economic and Social Research Council scholarship to undertake a PhD at the University of Nottingham, exploring compassionate care in acute hospital settings. I am currently a senior lecturer and undertake a variety of roles, from teaching on our on-campus Nursing Associate programme and our online Nursing Studies degree, to collaborating on research projects and supporting registered nurses undertaking doctoral degrees.

I have an interest in model-based systems engineering (MBSE), assurance and safety and the inter-relationship between the law and technology. I am currently a Senior Manager at our Institute for Innovation in Sustainable Engineering.I spent the previous 22 years working for companies involved in research and development and consultancy, mainly in the rail industry. I was sponsored through a general engineering degree at Cambridge University by British Rail Research which later became AEA Technology Limited and for 10 years spent most of my time in the vehicle-track interaction department. This included activities such as train procurement, derailment investigation and consultancy. During this period AEA Technology supported further learning leading to a Diploma in Applied Management from Warwick Business School and an MSc (Eng) in Rail Systems Engineering from Sheffield University.In 2002, I moved to the consultancy Altran, initially in one of their start-ups which specialised in Independent Safety Assessment and Notified Body. This small company was subsequently merged with another Altran company, Altran Praxis, which specialises in intelligent embedded systems consultancy across industry sectors. Altran Praxis is now part of Altran UK. During this period I was a project manager for consultancy projects, mainly independent assessment projects within the rail sector, and carried out consultancy, Notified Body and independent assessment assignments, including several requirements management secondments to rail industry suppliers.I am looking forward to seeing delivery of the expected benefits from the collaboration between industry and academia on the sustained competitiveness of the local supply chain, employability within the region and growth of centres of expertise and research.Thesis title&#160;A Methodology for Managing the Legal Risks Associated with Implementation of Digital Twin Use Cases in Regulated IndustriesSupervisors]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Jenny-C.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Institute for Innovation in Sustainable Engineering (IISE)]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Jenny is a Postgraduate Research Student at the University of Derby.

To date, this has been explored through a range of transitional experiences such as birth trauma, ageing, menopause, younger onset dementia, and the impact of the climate crisis.&#160;This work focuses on how somatic movement practices, environmentally responsive movement and ecological perspectives offer routes to [re]connection for those who experience a growing sense of detachment from their bodies and the rest of the world.&#160;As an interdisciplinary performance artist with over 20 years of experience in participatory arts, arts for health and professional performance, my work brings together, eco-somatic movement, improvisation and interdisciplinary collaboration combining dance, poetry, improvisation and visual arts. Embedded in this inquiry is the desire to examine how creative interactions with nature support [re]connection, [re]enchantment and orient us in the world.&#160;Current postgraduate research studentsDirector of Studies:Ester Eriksson is the recipient of the Investing in Excellence Studentship and is establishing an ethnography of eco-somatics in Britain, and an evidence base for eco-somatic dance practice for increasing connectedness and reciprocity amongst human and more-than-human life, with respect to psycho-political and ecological impact.

It explores the benefits of this to strengthen communication, attachment and relationships for people with young onset dementia and those closest to them. This work brings together the University of Derby, University of Northampton, Dementia UK's Young Dementia Network and people living with dementia in the co-production of this study.Uncommon Ground is a long-term collaborative endeavour between a dancer (Gemma Collard-Stokes), poet (Scott Thurston) and visual artist (Sabine Kussmaul) that explores a multi-disciplinary approach to building relationship with land, with one another's practice and with the rhythms of nature and narrative that exist within the outdoor pastures of Bakestonedale Moor in the Peak District.&#160;Project Roam is a comparative study that explores the experiences of children and young people from inner city and rural communities participating in a series of outdoor, nature-inspired, creative dance workshops called &#8216;Roam&#8217;. This ongoing work involves Ella&#38;Co Dance Company and several primary schools in the South of England.I am currently leading a project with The Level Centre, a contemporary arts centre based in rural Derbyshire. Together we are interested in the experiences, practices and professional development of artists creatively co-producing visual, performative or digital contemporary work that may be for, by or with learning-disabled people, by a disabled creative or by an artist who considers how their work can be accessible for the wider community.I also work alongside Dr Jamie Bird on an evolving project called Imagination and Belonging in a Changing Climate. Together we are interested in how individuals and communities relate to the other-than-human, and how they respond and adapt to changes in the climate and the environment. Our work combines facilitating careful and attentive engagement with natural spaces and using arts-based methods to express and explore responses to those spaces.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Gemma-Collard-Stokes.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[Britannia Mill, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Therapeutic Arts]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Health and Social Care]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Digital and Material Artistic Research Centre]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Lecturer]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Therapeutic Arts]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Gemma is a Lecturer in Therapeutic Arts within the College of Arts, Humanities and Education.&nbsp;]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Elizabeth Collier]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Associate Lecturer in Mental Health Nursing]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/elizabeth-collier/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am currently an Associate lecturer at the University of Derby (having previously been employed at the university as a Senior Lecturer in  from April 2018 to 15 September 2023).

I joined the University of Derby as a student nurse in 2005, graduating with an Advanced Diploma of Nursing in January 2008. I started my career in nursing working as a staff nurse within a busy renal directorate at a large University teaching hospital.I later moved to an Emergency Department whilst completing a BSc in Nursing in 2010. In 2011, I was awarded a prestigious NIHR fellowship to study a Master of Arts in Research Methods which was completed with distinction in 2012 whilst working as a gastrointestinal research nurse for an NIHR Clinical Research Network.In 2012, I made the decision to pursue interests in gastrointestinal research, completing a PhD in 2016 relating to the psychological aspects of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. During this time, I fulfilled a variety of roles in acute and outpatient gastrointestinal services and built a reputation based on a passionate interest in the evaluation of complex healthcare interventions. I am also a graduate of the European Academy of Nursing Science complex interventions summer school programme.&#160;I am currently a senior lecturer in pre-qualifying healthcare and spend most of my time working with Trainee Nursing Associate and Assistant Practitioner apprentices from a variety of backgrounds.

My research is situated in small informal business settings which are usually hotbeds for enterprise and innovation.

During this time, he designed degree contents and curricula, sat on faculty boards and led research projects from successful grants.His research interest spans the boundaries of HRM, OB, Strategy and Development research with a focus on the African context. His particular interest in unorthodox knowledge from Global South Indigenous communities, led to exploring indigenous African leadership theories and practices, thus, expanding leadership theorising into often marginalised cultural and institutional contexts.Some of his published work has explored innovation decisions in the African context, explored high-performance leadership in council authorities in Cameroon and Nigeria and considered the development of human and social capital amongst displaced populations in Nigeria. More recently sought publication emerging of his role as Chair of the African Management Research Conference which he organised in 2021, led to a publication about ways to advance Management Research and Practice in Africa.Engagement in Africa as a consultant for Leadership and Effective Management Systems in Africa has moved his interest towards International Development failure in the Global South with ongoing research exploring why international projects fail and how to fix such failures. These works have been presented at leading conferences, formed the basis of research-based teaching and advanced new knowledge in Leadership, International Development, Innovation and Change, Human Resource Capacity Building and the development of High Performance Systems.&#160; His works have been published in a range of Journals including Leadership, Strategy and Change, Africa Journal of Management, Journal of Management History, European Journal of Urban and Regional Studies and Journal of Development Studies.

As the applied psychologist, I was also part of a multidisciplinary team of researchers involved in projects assessing traffic safety culture (funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety); bicycle level of service; and yielding behaviours at intersections (funded by the California Department of Transportation). My role within the team involved the design of research projects and the development of survey materials, mentoring student researchers, analysing data, and writing academic reports.Prior to this, I was the recipient of an internationally competitive Endeavour Research Fellowship funded by the Australian Government, enabling me to conduct independent research at the University of New South Wales, Australia. There I focused on the use of escalators among older rail passengers, and gained an international perspective on the Human Factors research that I am so passionate about. I completed my BSc Psychology with Ergonomics, MSc Health Psychology, PhD and postdoctoral research at Loughborough University, looking into crowd behaviour, rail safety (funded by the Rail Safety and Standards Board), teenagers trespassing (funded by Network Rail), and the ageing population.As a registered member of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors I have worked for a number of ergonomics design consultancies within the medical device usability sector, gaining practical experience and utilising both analytical and empirical approaches.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/assets/udol/images/udol-staff-profiles/filingeri-victoria/social-media-victoria-filingeri.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Ergonomics]]></subject><department><![CDATA[University of Derby Online Learning]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Human Sciences Research Centre]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Researcher]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Ergonomics]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Academic Lead in Ergonomics, Dr Victoria Filingeri, completed her BSc in Psychology with Ergonomics, MSc in Health Psychology, PhD and postdoctoral research at Loughborough University, looking into crowd behaviour, rail safety (funded by the Rail Safety and Standards Board), teenagers trespassing (funded by Network Rail), and the ageing population.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Kori Lea Filipek]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Senior Lecturer in Biomedical and Forensic Science]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/kori-filipek/]]></url><about><![CDATA[]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Dr-Kori-Filipek-(1).jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Forensic Science]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Science ]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Human Sciences Research Centre]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Lecturer]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Forensic Science]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Kori Filipek is a Senior Lecturer in Biomedical and Forensic Science]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Craig Fisher]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Programme Leader - BA (Hons) Fine Art]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/fisher-craig/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am Programme Leader for BA (Hons) Fine Art and a practising&#160;Artist based in the East Midlands.

Prior to coming to Derby, I obtained both a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Biochemistry and a Master of Research (MRes) degree in Biomedical Science and Translational Medicine from the University of Liverpool. Here, I gained experience working alongside research groups from both the Institute of Integrative Biology and the Institute of Translational Medicine. More recently, I worked as a laboratory scientist at a Lighthouse Covid-19 testing laboratory, where I was extremely proud to play a part in the fight against the coronavirus. Aside from my studies, I enjoy spending time outdoors. In particular, I like to go running.I embarked on my Ph.D. journey at the University of Derby in January 2021. The focus of our research is to investigate the natural history (prevalence and pathogenesis) of an oral human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in healthy tonsil tissue. We anticipate this will provide an insight into how oral HPV contributes to oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) development. We aim to identify potential biomarkers that may assist in the development of OPC within pre-cancerous tissues that themselves may provide therapeutic benefit.Thesis titleThe pathogenesis of HPV within oropharyngeal cancer.Supervisor]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Mary-Ann-F.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Mary-Ann is a postgraduate research student within the College of Science and Engineering.&nbsp;]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Laurice  Fretwell]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Subject Lead: Sport and Exercise Science]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/laurice-fretwell/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am subject lead for Sport and Exercise Science, where we have a growing portfolio of industry-aligned undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Profile-0182-16585-(1).jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[Kedleston Road, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Health|Sport and Rehabilitation]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Lecturer|Research supervisor|Researcher]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Dr Laurice Fretwell works on improving the curriculum and student experience across two disciplines: Biomedical and Forensic Sciences, and Sport and Exercise Science.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[James Frost]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Programme Leader PG Cert Higher Education

Within this project I apply an ethnographic approach in which I work closely with my participants as a volunteer, collecting data through a variety of means including interviews, field notes surveys and photography. This project aligns with my own interest in gardening and experiences with the natural world; as such this has been a learning process for me not only in relation to my research but also in my life outside of academia.Thesis&#160;The Experience of Allotment Gardening for Disadvantaged Groups: A Multimodal Ethnographic StudySupervisors]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/research-student-images/Rhys-Furlong-(1).jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Rhys Furlong is a Postgraduate Research Student and Associate Lecturer within the School of Psychology.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Daniel Gaffiero]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Lecturer in Health Psychology]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/daniel-gaffiero/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am a dedicated academic with a strong commitment to student support, teaching, and research.

My focus is on the areas of SME performance and growth and Human Resource Management.Having caught the &#8216;learning bug&#8217;, I transferred from industry to academia qualifying as a mature student in the 1990s. Having spent 18 years working in engineering I found myself completing an economics degree and then a master's and PhD at Warwick Business School. My thirst for knowledge led me to explore how to apply my industrial and academic experience for the benefit of academic and business communities.My work is focused on developing people and performance. People are the drivers and backbone of all organisations, and the economy. If we get this right we start to make a significant contribution to all of our lives. I start all my work by developing world-class research on personal and organisational growth and performance and then translate it into tools and services that help business owner manager(s) and their staff to understand the dynamics of the organisation, its stakeholders, and wider growth and performance issues.I continue to research and publish extensively on SME Growth and Human Resource Management issues faced by business owners and their organisations. I was Director of the Centre for Employment Competitiveness and Growth, University of Kent and the Centre for Enterprise, Innovation and Growth at Birmingham City University. I am also Co-founder and Director of BIG Associates Ltd (A University spin-out).]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Mark-Gilman-FoB-Profile.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[Cavendish Building, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[Derby International Business School]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Business|Economics and Finance|Research]]></subject><department><![CDATA[Business Engagement & Employability]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[University of Derby Regional Economic Observatory]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Lecturer]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Business|Economics and Finance|Research]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Mark has a particular interest in the areas of SME performance, growth and human resource management.

I am very interested in understanding and furthering research on the comparative psychology behind human-animal interactions and the impact direct and indirect interactions have for humans and animals alike.My key aim is to widen the literature base in anthrozoology, raise awareness of the impact to the human, non-human animal and establishment of human-animal interactions while highlighting and progressing with suitable alternative measures and progressing with positive welfare regulations.Thesis titleHumans as Enrichment: Human-animal interactions and the perceived benefit to the human, non-human animal and zoological establishmentSupervisorsDr Maren Huck]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/stacey-higgs-2.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Stacey Higgs is a further education and higher education lecturer in Animal Science and Zoo Management at Derby College,&nbsp;programmes accredited by the University of Derby.

For instance, I was awarded a grant from the British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship in 2019-2020 for the project 'Stock Connect: A New Model of Financial Market Integration.' In 2017, I received funding from the HEFCE Newton Funds to organise a conference on 'Ethics and Challenges in Chinese Financial Markets' and participated in the Erasmus+ mobility programme at the University of Macau. A City Venture Research Grant in 2016 supported my research on the growth stories of Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Additionally, funding from the British Academy/Leverhulme Trust in 2013-15 supported the project 'A Tale of Three Cities - Unravelling the Common Law Advantage'. During my PhD research, I also received support from the Central Research Fund, University of London; Universities&#8217; China Committee in London; SOAS Additional Fieldwork Award, and the AHRC Skills Fund.In 2015, I was appointed to the Peer Review College (PRC) of the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). I also serve as a peer reviewer for the Economic Social Research Council (ESRC), the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF), the Qatar National Research Fund, and the Strategic Public Policy Research Funding Scheme administered by the Hong Kong Government. I have reviewed for various journals and publishers, including the American Journal of Comparative Law, the Journal of Corporate Law Studies, Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies, and Journal of International Trade Law and Policy. In 2012, I was honoured with the Outstanding Reviewer award at the Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/FH-(1).jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Law]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Humanities|Law and Creative Arts]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Social, Cultural and Legal Research Centre|University Professorial Council]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Law]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Flora Huang, Professor of Law and Business, researches corporate and financial law, international trade law, arbitration, fintech, sustainability, and Chinese law.

I am driven by a passion for understanding societal dynamics and their broader impacts and my place in modern Britain. I completed a BSc in Criminology and Sociology in 2022, followed by an MA in Global Affairs and Politics in 2023, both at the University of Derby.Currently, I am pursuing an MPhil/PhD, where my research delves into the ongoing 'culture wars' and aims to investigate the potential impact of racialised &#8216;culture wars&#8217; in ethnically diverse secondary schools in the East Midlands from the perspective of teaching staff and students. This research holds personal significance for me, as I aim to contribute to discussions around racialisation, education, and policy, and how they shape the experiences of young people, especially those from marginalised communities. &#160;Beyond academia, I am the father of two teenagers, who constantly keep me grounded and motivated to create a better future for them and their generation. As a lifelong Liverpool FC fan, I find joy in following football (unless Liverpool is losing), which provides a great balance to my research life and time to switch off. I also love to travel and explore new cultures as it broadens my worldview and inspires me to see beyond the familiar. I have had the opportunity to spend time in Turkey, North Africa (Morocco, Algeria) and several other countries in the Middle East. I prefer to take a solo trip at least once a year for self-reflection and to check in with myself (plus my family and friends need a break from me).This journey back into education has not only shaped my academic interests but also reinforced my commitment to advocating for equity and social justice. Balancing family life, personal interests, and academic challenges has been a rewarding experience that continues to fuel my ambitions and sense of purpose.Thesis titleNavigating the Culture Wars: A Qualitative Case Study exploration of Racialised &#8216;Culture Wars&#8217; in ethnically diverse secondary schools in the East MidlandsQualificationsFoundations Pathway - University of Derby (2018 - 2019)BSc Criminology with Sociology - University of Derby (2019 - 2022)MA Global Affairs and Politics - University of Derby (2022 - 2023)Supervisors]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/research-student-images/Hussain,-Ishtiaq.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Ishtiaq Hussain is a postgraduate research student pursuing an MPhil/PhD in the College of Arts, Humanities and Education.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Zaharaddeen Hussaini]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Researcher in Concentrated Solar Power]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/zaharaddeen-hussaini/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am a Researcher in CSP (Concentrating Solar Power) and a member of the Zero Carbon theme at the University of Derby.

My PhD (2019) explored how students of colour navigate through racism in postgraduate STEM education to achieve success. While at the Higher Education Founding Council for England (2012-2014; predecessor of the Office for Students), I managed nationwide projects, such as the Catalyst Fund and the National Scholarship Programme (monitoring strand).I led several strands of the &#8216;Mind the Gap&#8217; project at Kingston University (2015-2017), which made Kingston a nationwide leader in closing the racialised degree awarding gap. I continued this work at SOAS University of London (2018-2021), leading the Inclusive Teaching and Assessment initiative, achieving great successes in participating departments. For these efforts I was awarded the title of Senior Fellow of the HEA (2021). I was part of the UUK&#8217;s Advisory Board (2019-2020) on tackling racial harassment on campus, which produced a nationwide guidance. Before joining Derby, I worked for Advance HE (2021-2024), supporting numerous organisations in their EDI and inclusive pedagogy related endeavours. Outside of my role in higher education I run a successful EDI consultancy and have worked with such companies and organisations as the Global Secretariat of Amnesty International, HP Inc., OC&#38;C Strategy Consultants, the British Film Institute and Manolo Blahnik.

I am based within the discipline of Marketing and Operations management of the Business, Law and Social Science School. I am mainly teaching with the Derby Business School's apprenticeship team and online programs team. Over the last two years, the key modules I led and taught across terms over the academic year included: Dissertation (Level 7), Business Impact Project (Level 6), Applied Project Management (Level 5), and Project Management (Level 5). I am actively undertaking research supervision from undergraduate to doctoral level across a range of research topics including, water preservation, artificial intelligence, emotional intelligence, entrepreneurship and diversity management. My key interests include knowledge transfer and for this purpose, I encourage industry and academic partnerships for interdisciplinary projects.&#160;Prior to joining the University of Derby, I completed an evaluation for a &#163;6M ERDF-funded Greater Manchester Cyber Foundry project (Cyber Security related innovation support for 150 GM Enterprises) and an evaluation plan for a &#163;4M PrintCity Network (3D printing innovation for 150 GM Enterprises). Prior to that, I had a successful Research and Knowledge Exchange project worth &#163;32,657 to develop a management KTP and a technical innovation KTP in collaboration with the School of Engineering and Technology. During the project duration of 6 months, I was successful in bringing direct savings of &#163;219,952 including a winning management KTP bid worth &#163;171,657.

I initially worked on a short-stay surgical ward caring for patients undergoing day-case surgery. In 1992 I transferred to the Intensive Therapy Unit at Chesterfield Royal and remained there until 1999. This experience enabled me to develop knowledge and skills in caring for critically ill adults from all specialities including trauma/orthopaedics, surgical, medical and obstetrics. My role involved one-to-one care of these patients, their families and loved ones, working closely with all members of the multidisciplinary team.&#160;In 2000 I left Secondary Care and moved into the Primary Care setting. Initially working as a Nurse Advisor for NHS Direct and the out-of-hours GP service, performing telephone triage of children and adults requiring further assessment or health information. Following this experience, I successfully obtained a Practice Nurse post in a GP practice and obtained experience and qualifications in long-term conditions, health promotion and disease prevention. Although I became a competent General Practice Nurse, my particular interest was in diabetes and I was able to set up nurse-led clinics which improved patient access. This model was also used for other long-term conditions clinical and proved successful in improving the quality of patient care.&#160;In 2008 I was accepted into the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice programme at the University of Nottingham, in their second cohort of students, and here I also completed the Independent and Supplementary Non-Medical Prescribing course. Since then I have worked as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in several primary care settings, including GP practice, walk-in centres, urgent care centres, community settings and out-of-hours services. I continue to work clinically for the Derbyshire out-of-hours service currently.&#160;I have always been involved in education and training within my clinical roles, and in 2020 I joined the University of Derby as Lecturer. I first worked on the undergraduate adult nursing programme and then transferred to the post graduate team in 2021. I now work on the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice team which I thoroughly enjoy and am privileged to work with trainee Advanced Practitioners.&#160;]]></about><image><![CDATA[]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Public Health and Social Care]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Health and Social Care]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Lecturer]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Public Health and Social Care]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Rich Johnson]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Technical Advisor - Media Loan Hub]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/johnson-rich/]]></url><about><![CDATA[My technical background is in photography, both traditional and digital.

Both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees were heavily influenced by the contextual approach to law. In this capacity, I became interested in the social, economic and political application of law during my time as a student. In fact, as a student, the American Realist movement in jurisprudence had the most significant impact on the development of my approach to and application of law.I have continued with this approach to law with respect to my teaching, scholarship and research. All the modules I teach have at their core the interrelationship between law and politics. This manifests itself in the politics of development, sustainability and human rights. With respect to the actual engagement with my students, I make as little distinction as I possibly can between the application of law and the use of politics to understand that application of law. In this respect, my teaching represents a fusion of the ideas of both legal and political scholars.I have for many years been involved with matters relevant to learning, teaching and assessment across my School, College and University. I did this in my capacity as a Teaching Fellow and Senior Teaching Fellow. I sat on a range of university committees relevant to these matters but the areas I specialised in related to the student experience, student attainment and student retention. In addition, I have been actively engaged in Education for Sustainability and toward this end I have organised a conference on sustainability to promote these values within the University. I am still currently a member of the University committee on Student Attainment which has as its aim the reduction of the student attainment gap to zero. In addition I am a member of the University committee on the Environment and Sustainability. This committee has as its aim the ensuring that our University operates in accordance with sustainable values and produces graduates who are aware of the social, environmental and economic issues relevant to sustainability.Most recently I have been actively involved in the developing of a Social Justice ethic within the college. The purpose of this is to ensure that our college becomes an active participant in our local community and thereby lending our resources to ensuring that we are engaged in developing of our communities as well as increasing the employability of our students. This process will be completed by holding a number of Social justice events, talks and conferences culminating in the creation of a Social Justice Hub. The aim of the SJB is to embed ourselves as a College and University to the development of the local community.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/assets/organisation/our-staff/-business-law-and-social-sciences/Joel-Klaff-staff-image.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[One Friar Gate Square, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Law]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Humanities|Law and Creative Arts]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Identity, Culture and Representation Research Centre]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Law]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Joel is currently Assistant Head of Law and Programme Leader for the Undergraduate LL.B Law Programmes.

There, two lead or hydrogen nuclei travelling at speeds close to the speed of light will collide every 20 microseconds or so, giving birth to thousands of particles that escape in every direction and leave traces inside the detectors every collision.One of the main missions of ALICE is the study of the quark-gluon plasma, a peculiar state of matter, which is assumed to have existed in the very first instants of the universe. It consists in unconfined quarks (that when bound form particles like the proton and neutron) and gluons (vectors of the strong interaction, like photons for the electromagnetic force) interacting with each other.My task focuses on retrieving and analysing one particular kind of signal among those events: the decay of hadrons (particles made out of quarks) with a strange component (one of the six flavours of quark), with a mean lifetime too short to be precisely measured with the detector before the ongoing upgrade.Thesis Title&#160;Online reconstruction in the ALICE Run 3 continuous readout environmentSupervisor&#160;]]></about><image><![CDATA[]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Aimeric is a PhD student who enjoys algebra, statistics and mathematics in general, computer programming, and physics, in particular, cosmology, particle physics&nbsp;and astronomy.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Kit Lane]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Senior Lecturer in Performance]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/kit-lane/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am an experienced academic with many years of professional, theatre practice and a background in technology and its application to creative endeavours.

My academic journey began with a BSc in Civil Engineering, followed by a Master&#8217;s degree in Business Analytics, which fuelled my interest in data engineering and machine learning, and their applications in creating impactful solutions. Now, as a PhD student at the University of Derby, I&#8217;m expanding these interests into optimising energy harvesting devices in rail networks.Beyond academics, I&#8217;m a hands-on learner who enjoys building things from the ground up. Whether it&#8217;s working on predictive models or developing structured learning programs, I find satisfaction in experimentation and iteration. Outside of my PhD, I play the piano rather well. In my free time, I teach gospel, jazz, blues, and neo-soul piano to people interested in learning. I really love playing the piano, as I have been doing so since I was eight years old.Ultimately, I find myself sitting at the intersection of vibration engineering, data science, and machine learning, where I explore innovative ways to solve real-world problems. With my research, I aim to address the issue of wasted energy from trains by developing AI solutions that can intelligently capture and repurpose this energy, contributing to more sustainable and efficient transport systems.Thesis titleData Driven and Machine Learning Applications in Energy Harvesting DevicesSupervisorsDr Nasser Sherkat]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Lawal-Jesutofunmi.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Institute for Innovation in Sustainable Engineering (IISE)]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Jesutofunmi is a Postgraduate Research Student who aims to address the issue of wasted energy from trains through AI solutions.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Alison Lawson]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Subject Lead for Marketing and Operations]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/alison-lawson/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am the Subject Lead for Marketing and Operations in Derby International Business School.

My current research focuses on designing, manufacturing and characterising eco-friendly and nano-reinforced composites with the use of recyclable resins, aiming to provide these materials with self-healing and self-sensing capabilities.Title of thesisEco-friendly, recyclable and nano-reinforced natural fibre thermoplastics for smart composites.Supervisors]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Federico-staff-profile-copy-(1).jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[Markeaton Street, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Engineering and Built Environment]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student|Technical support]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Federico is the Technical Instructor in Advanced Composite Material Technology and Manufacturing and Ph.D. candidate in the College of Science and Engineering.

Her research engages with the colonial violence of nation-state borders, environmental justice and issues around maternity and reproductive health. Her art practice is often site-specific and participatory using film, performance, sound, publications and sculpture. Approaching her practice research as a praxis, she engages &#8216;fictioning&#8217; as a tool to challenge hegemonic imaginaries (such as carbon), as well as an applied way to think and act differently in the pursuit of social justice. She has had solo shows, been included in exhibitions and festivals.

Working with several Forest bathing training organisations I have conducted multiple research projects into&#160; Forest Bathing (mindful walking in nature). In my practice I tend to work with adults experiencing mobility impairment, chronic illness, and with children in the foster care system.Over the following years, I aim to bring my research in 1. Compassion interventions, 2. Public health interventions, and 3. Forest Bathing together, to provide the evidence-base for Forest Bathing and bring it to a wider UK audience as a social prescription, with a special focus on equal access and health inequalities. I will also use Forest Bathing as means to bring compassion towards the environment to foster sustainability and climate change resilience.&#160;]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/QBMH1144.JPG]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Health and Social Care Research Centre]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Researcher]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Most of Kirsten's research has focused on Compassion-Focused interventions.

I am the Programme Leader for BSc (Hons) Psychology and Sport Studies and my work focuses in creating a learning environment that combines strong academic foundations with practical, real-world experience. I teach across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the field of strength &#38; conditioning, biomechanics, and neurophysiology, helping to develop the next generation of sport science and performance professionals.I completed my PhD under the supervision of Professor Tony Kay and Professor Anthony Blazevich, investigating the acute effects of warm-up strategies using free weights and variable resistance on strength and power performance. My research in this area is internationally recognised, as I am amongst the first to explore the application of variable resistance within warm-up protocols in depth. These innovative approaches challenge the traditional, largely static view of warm-ups by introducing dynamic, load-specific, and neuromuscularly targeted methods aimed at optimising performance. My doctoral work led to publications in leading journals such as the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, the European Journal of Sport Science, and the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &#38; Science in Sports.I continue to publish postdoctoral research in high-impact journals, leading projects in strength &#38; conditioning with the aim of optimising human performance. My research also focuses on developing and evaluating alternative training protocols designed to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls in older adults, with several related projects currently underway. In parallel, I am advancing the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in biomechanics and neurophysiology research to enhance human movement analysis and create data-driven solutions for rehabilitation and performance optimisation.With extensive applied experience in the industry working with elite athletes and strong international research collaborations, I bring both academic excellence and practical insight to my teaching and supervision. I actively support undergraduate and postgraduate research projects offering opportunities for students to contribute to ongoing and published work. I collaborate as a consultant with elite athletes in disciplines including judo, sprinting, discus throw, and gymnastics, contributing to the advancement of their strength and conditioning capabilities. My role centres on applying evidence-based methodologies to enhance athletic performance, aligning practical interventions with the latest research in sport science to support athletes competing at the highest levels.In 2025, I was appointed to the Editorial Board for a special issue of the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Physiology. Over the years, I have also served as a peer reviewer for several international academic journals.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Profile-photo-(2).jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[Kedleston Road, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Health|Sport and Rehabilitation]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Minas Mina is a Senior Lecturer in Strength and Conditioning in the School of Sport and Exercise Science.

Sandwich panels are made of three layers: low-density cores and two thin skins adhesively bonded to both sides of the core. This configuration allows for a component of high stiffness with very low weight thus improving attributes such as flexural strength. Although such features are very desirable in the industries that use them, the conditions they are susceptible to often lead to failure in their mechanical performance over time. For example, a sandwich panel on the section of a car under heavy rainfall experiences impact damage and fatigue loading from the raindrops which eventually lead to the damage of the panel. This project aims to address such and in doing so contribute to the knowledge of constructing sandwich panels.Thesis title&#160;Fatigue After Impact Analysis on Recycled Carbon Fibre Sandwich PanelsSupervisor&#160;&#160;]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Temitope-Omisore.jpeg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Engineering and Built Environment]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Temitope is a postgraduate research student at the University of Derby.

My research focuses on understanding the development of maths anxiety, how it relates to educational experiences/career trajectories, and approaches to reduce it. Some examples of this work include exploring children&#8217;s (aged 4-7 years) attitudes and experiences of maths and triangulating this with insight from teachers and parents that led to the development of the first maths anxiety rating scale for children as early as 4 years of age (Children&#8217;s Maths Anxiety Scale UK; CMAS-UK). I have also conducted a review of interventions to address maths anxiety to provide an overview and recommendations and authored and piloted a maths anxiety storybook approach (as part of a wider research-informed series of children's books) to normalize maths talk in children and to support emotion regulation as a first step to countering maths anxiety. More recently, I have supervised projects that have explored the potential detrimental impact of maths schemes of work for UK trainee teachers and validated a therapy dog intervention for reducing maths anxiety.&#160;I have also contributed to the development of an NHS-endorsed Maths Anxiety Crash Course as part of our university Mathematics Anxiety Research Group.I have also engaged in research to explore the efficacy and need for credible and research-informed resources. As an outcome, I am now exploring a storybook approach and other formats as a means to channel findings from empirical work into a directly impactful and educationally engaging format to support primary care providers in approaching a range of topics and issues that impact children. I previously launched a children&#8217;s book surrounding healthy eating alongside First Steps ED which supports people in Derbyshire who are living with eating disorders. This project was supported by the Derbyshire Foundation and our storybook resource has been endorsed by NHS England Midlands Children and Young People Quality Improvement Team who recommended further afield across clinical ED services for CYP. The storybook was made available to every primary school across neighbourhood, place, and at system level (district, city, and county) and supported by the five NHS CAMHS ED services in the East Midlands.In research, I have explored stakeholder perceptions of a storybook to raise awareness of unhealthy attitudes towards and behaviours around disordered eating/eating behaviours in children. This work indicates that storybooks can enhance the learning experience and provide structure for teachers and parents/carers, particularly in approaching conversations and discussions around particular topics.&#160;]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Compressed-Updated-profile.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[Kedleston Road, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Psychology]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Lecturer|Researcher]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Psychology]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Dominic Petronzi is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology (online) at the University of Derby with a keen interest in the psychology of education, and qualitative research.

After being there for a short while I successfully applied for the ODP training and qualified in 1998. After qualifying, I stayed at CNDRH for a short period prior to leaving and working as a locum for a number of years. In 2005, I took a permanent position as a Senior ODP in cardio-thoracic at the Northern General Hospital (NGH), in Sheffield. Over the proceeding years, I was promoted to Clinical Procurement Specialist and then finally Theatre Manager. Whilst at the NGH I had a shift in my career towards safety, risk, and medical equipment. In April 2016, I commenced my employment at the Royal Derby Hospital as the theatre lead. During my employment, we went through a merger with Queens Hospital Burton to become UHDB. In 2021, my job role changed to concentrate more on Quality, Risk and Safety and this is what led me to commence a PhD.I am passionate about patient safety in the operating theatres and trying to understand why harm and never events still occur is something that interests me a great deal. Since July 2021, when I commenced my studies, I have published three articles. The articles were on the following subjects,Safer Surgical Checklist &#8211; Literature review, The Operating Theatre Journal, November 2021, 374, 3Never event audit at the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton following Covid-19, The Operating Theatre Journal, January 2022, 376LocSSIPs &#8211; An audit of NHS England Hospital Trust operating theatres, The Operating Theatre Journal, Due 15 March 2022During my career I also have worked as a specialist Advisor to the Care Quality Commission.In my downtime, I like going to the gym and Lego.Thesis titleWhy are intra-operative surgical never events still occurring in NHS operating theatres? - Wrong site surgery - Wrong implant/prosthesis - Retained foreign object post proceduresSupervisor/s]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Nigel-Roberts-(1).jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Humanities|Law and Creative Arts]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Nigel is a Postgraduate Research Student in the College of Health and Humanities.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr David Robertshaw]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Head of School - School of Nursing and Midwifery]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/david-robertshaw/]]></url><about><![CDATA[Dr David Robertshaw is a Registered Nurse, Nurse Educator, and senior higher education leader at the University of Derby.

During this time, I developed the Internal Representation Questionnaire (IRQ), a tool to measure individual differences in representational style in adults, which I continue to use to investigate cognition in both typical and atypical development.At Derby, I co-lead the ThinkLing Lab with Dr Barbara Manini, aiming to bring together our research and students with aligned interests.

I am the lead within the  on motor competency, physical literacy and physical activity of children. I am also a BASES Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist - Physiology Research route.My primary research interests are within the area of motor competence in children and physical activity across the lifespan. I completed my PhD in this area and researched Physical Activity and Fundamental Movement Skills of British Preschool Children. I was first to perform research into calibrating the GENEActiv accelerometers for use with preschool children. I also performed research to determine the physical activity levels of preschool children during the week and weekend days, whilst determining their fundamental movement skills (FMS). I have also worked on a project across primary schools in Warwickshire where we assessed the children's FMS, anthropometric measures and other variables to monitor them in relation to the FMS requirements of the national curriculum. I was involved with colleagues from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in creating the first national expert statement on &#8216;Motor competence amongst children in the United Kingdom and Ireland&#8217;, on behalf of the International Motor Development Research Consortium. This research is imperative in supporting the importance of physical activity and motor competence for children and aligns to the UoD Biomedical theme through observing children&#8217;s movement and helping to prevent poor health. My research has provided evidence that motor competence proficiency is not at an adequate level in children within English schools. Therefore, providing key evidence for the National Curriculum to focus more on motor competence in children in the UK.&#8239;I am currently working on a motor competence review with colleagues from England, Ireland, Scotland, Portugal, Australia, Belgium and I view these key collaborations as imperative to further progress the field of motor competence for the health and wellbeing of children worldwide.Child of the North report: An evidence-based approach to supporting children in the pre-school years. I contributed to this report which is aimed at policy makers. It was launched 4 October 2024.pre school report co-authored with external colleagues and Natalie Weir (PhD student) and Dr Jack Parker from the University of Derby. The report makes a series of proposals to tackle the high number of children starting school not &#8216;school ready&#8217;, and the crisis in early years and childcare provision - particularly in disadvantaged areas. It is the ninth in a series of monthly Child of the North/Centre for Young Lives reports being published during 2024 to support the Government in its ambitious vision for children and to show how putting the interests and life chances of children at the heart of policy making and delivery is crucial to Britain&#8217;s future success.Furthermore, I have a great passion for research, and this covers any aspect of physical activity, for example, working with children and adults across the lifespan and more recently I completed work for Public Health England (now UK Health Security Agency and Office for Health Improvement and Disparities) on &#8216;Addressing and understanding inequalities in physical activity&#8217;. I am currently involved with research with Professor Mark Faghy and his team from the University of Derby in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), this is exploring key reflections, learning and future recommendations from the COVID-19 rehabilitation response from policy makers in the WHO European region. Finally, my research seeks to explore intervention design and assess&#160;the impact and implementation of physical activity and motor competence interventions.&#160;I was invited to join the Editorial Board of Children Pediatric Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Section on behalf of the Editor-in-Chief. I am also a Guest Editor with Professor Andy Pringle in&#160;International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health&#160;(IJERPH). The Special Issue is titled: 'How Sport and Physical Activity Contribute to Healthy Lifestyle and Physical Fitness?'

My academic and research interests are rooted in clinical microbiology and virology, with a particular emphasis on infectious diseases, viral hepatitis, and post-viral syndromes such as Long COVID.Before joining the University of Derby, I taught and conducted research at the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences in Malawi, where I was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Medical Microbiology following a successful application. In addition to my teaching and research responsibilities, I have secured some grants both as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator particularly during my tenure in Malawi. My professional contributions have played a significant role in shaping policy within the Government of Malawi. While at the University of Derby, I have actively submitted some grant applications and continue to pursue funding opportunities to support impactful research and development initiatives.I was honoured to receive a prestigious Commonwealth Scholarship, which enabled me to pursue Medical Microbiology studies at the University of Liverpool. I subsequently obtained my PhD in Medical Microbiology/Virology at the University of Plymouth, in collaboration with Imperial College London, through a PhD scholarship. I later held a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) position supported by a joint award from the Wellcome Trust and the University of Malawi.At the University of Derby, I am currently collaborating with Professor Mark Faghy on a robust research platform aimed at identifying the underlying mechanisms of Long COVID.

Profoundly inspired by both Kathy Acker&#8217;s own bodybuilding practice and her question &#8220;Is the relationship between destruction and growth also a formula for Art?&#8221; (1993, p23). My artistic practice engaged with bodybuilding specifically as a daily performance strategy but also as an activity that denotes my body &#8216;working material&#8217;. I have had two main periods of exploration, the initial period of competitive bodybuilding between 2008-2012 and more recent active reflective from 2019 to present.Within this current phase, I aim to shift bodybuilding from an artistic practice to a research methodology incorporating a written process (first response and generative writing) in tandem with the physical and consequential changes within the body. These combined re-workings intend to reframe the body&#8217;s potential as a way into a sentient archive of ephemeral, Live Art, and performance artwork.&#160;Having exhibited throughout the UK and internationally, my work has featured on internet sites such as &#8216;girls with muscle&#8217; and persists outside the tradition of the gallery space.Thesis title&#160;Body as DocumentSupervisors]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Francesca-Steele-(1).jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Digital and Material Artistic Research Centre]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Francesca is a Postgraduate Research Student who is&nbsp;aiming to shift bodybuilding from an artistic practice to a research methodology incorporating a written process.&nbsp;]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Justin Steele-Davies]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Academic Lead for Engineering and Course Director]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/justin-steele-davies/]]></url><about><![CDATA[My passion has always been between the technical and educational.&#160;I began working within the Higher Education sector on physics education materials between my undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

My particular research involves a case study of Irish true crime and a number of documentaries about Irish true crime cases, exploring how these have impacted how audiences view Ireland, and whether this is consistent with how Ireland presents itself to this wider world.&#160;I completed a BA History at the University of Leeds in 2002. Having worked in Higher Education for many years, I then completed my MA Public History and Heritage at Derby in 2023, winning &#34;The Highest Achiever for Postgraduate Programmes&#34; prize for the academic year 2022/23. My MA thesis was titled &#34;Murder at the Museum: Dark tourism and true crime at the Metropolitan Police Crime Museum and 'The Crime Museum Uncovered'&#34;. My research interests combine an interest in the dynamics of true crime and how this interacts with heritage and tourism more widely, including specifically in dark tourism presentations of true crime and how the meaning of place is impacted by crimes which occur there.Away from academia, I have a passion for cricket and volunteer as a member of the Heritage Advisory Board for Yorkshire Cricket Foundation at Yorkshire County Cricket Club.

My research advances the international Contemplative Psychology agenda, to which I have contributed over 130 peer-reviewed papers, three books, and more than 120 additional scholarly outputs (e.g., book chapters, professional journal articles, and online publications).Drawing on direct experiential insight from a decade as a Buddhist monk&#8212;during which I immersed deeply in intensive meditation and contemplative training&#8212;alongside prior senior management roles in blue-chip companies, my work centres on how core processes such as meditation, mindfulness, compassion, emptiness, and non-self can enhance physical, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing across clinical, educational, occupational, and everyday contexts, including high-pressure professional environments.As a science communicator in this field, my work or opinion has featured in the national and international TV, radio and print media on more 300 occasions in recent years, helping to bridge academic insights with real-world societal challenges. I also supervise a number of PhD students conducting research in contemplative psychology, many of whom have produced their own substantial publications contributing to the field.My research has informed key national and international policy documents and reports, including NICE guidelines on mental wellbeing at work and chronic pain, EU publications on higher education mental health, UNESCO's evidence-based education assessment, RAND reports on mindfulness for performance, Swedish assessments of psychological wellbeing and fibromyalgia, the Icelandic Directorate of Health curriculum on positive behaviour and social/emotional skills in schools, and others addressing occupational health, education, addiction, and stress reduction.For further resources, including articles and updates on my forthcoming external engagements, such as talks, workshops and retreats in contemplative psychology, please visit my personal website: www.williamvangordon.com. Follow ongoing discussions via X (@Van_Gordon_W) or connect via my Facebook page for additional insights and community discussions. I also maintain an ongoing blog on Contemplative Psychology for Psychology Today and am the author of The Way of the Mindful Warrior.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/William-Feb-2026A.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[Kedleston Road, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Psychology]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Science ]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Healthy Ageing and Mental Wellbeing Research Centre]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Leadership|Research supervisor|Researcher]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Psychology]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Associate Professor in Contemplative Psychology, Dr William Van Gordon is a Chartered Psychologist&nbsp;and international expert in the research and practice of meditation and mindfulness.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Paul Vandemast-Bell]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Programme Leader for BA (Hons) Music Production]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/paul-vandemast-bell/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am a Lecturer in Music Production specialising in digital audio workstations (Ableton Live, Avid Pro Tools), computer music programming (Max for Live, Arduino), and audio recording.

I came to work at the University of Derby in 2009, where I rearranged the TV Studio to meet the needs of several courses. Since then I have organised the studio moving up to the first floor, enhanced the lighting grid, adding over 20 lighting pantographs and some world class new lighting, updated the control room to a state of the art Tricaster 8000 production suite with green screen virtual set and built a new dedicated, two camera, green screen infinity cove, studio space. I also supervised the redevelopment of four edit suites. I run camera grip workshops for body-worn camera stabilisers, track and dolly, slider and camera crane techniques for students.An&#160;interest in Camera Grip equipment led me to making some specialised experimental pieces, such as 12-foot camera slider, a twin camera mount and a Dutch tilt adaptor.&#160;In my own time, I work as a video production company filming and editing video for private clients.

I am a senior lecturer in pre-registration nursing working at the St Helena site. My career has been long and varied and I have worked in many different locations but in terms of location, I have not really flown far from the nest.I was at school in the 1970s at St Helena, I trained as a nurse at the old Chesterfield Royal Hospital (now the Kennings building next door to the St Helena site) I then trained as a midwife at the old Scarsdale Hospital at the bottom of Newbold Road.I qualified as a nurse in 1983 and had a variety of staff nurses posts including care for the elderly, neuro-surgery and intensive care. In 1985, I trained as a midwife and practised midwifery for almost 20 years working both in the delivery suite and in the community. Part of my role as a midwife was a secondment working with teenage parents. This role had a lot of teaching in it both to young people and to professionals and this is where I gained my passion for teaching.I joined the University of Derby in 2007 teaching BTEC health and social care and assessing NVQs in health and social care. While I loved working in FE, my passion has always been to teach adult nurses and midwives so in 2014 I applied and was honoured to be offered the post of lecturer in adult nursing. This has been the most exciting and interesting part of my career so far.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/Debbie-Watkinson-2000x2000.jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[St Helena, Chesterfield]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Nursing]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Health and Social Care]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Nursing]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Debbie Watkinson is a qualified nurse and registered midwife and programme lead for student experience and a senior lecturer in pre-qualifying health care at the St Helena site in Chesterfield.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Dr Adrian Watson]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Senior Lecturer in Geology]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/adrian-watson/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am a Senior Lecturer in Geology and the programme leader for the BSc Earth Sciences degree programme.]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/staff-portfolio-images/Profile-4.JPG]]></image><location><![CDATA[Kedleston Road, Derby Campus]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Science and Engineering]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Geology]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Science ]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Geology]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Adrian is a Senior Lecturer in Geology and Programme Leader of the BSc Earth Sciences degree at the University of Derby.&nbsp; Adrian teaches a range of modules including microscopy, mineralogy, field and map skills, resource geology, structural and metamorphic geology, and engineering geology.]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Sharan Watson]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Postgraduate Lecturer]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/sharan-watson/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am a nurse, non medical prescriber and postgraduate lecturer at the University of Derby.

My primary goal is to comprehensively examine the multifaceted factors that influence the decarbonization of supply chains.My academic journey has led me to pursue a Ph.D. with a specific focus on supply chain decarbonization. In my research, I aim not only to gain insights into the current state of supply chain decarbonization but also to contribute to its advancement by developing new frameworks if necessary. I firmly believe that effective supply chain decarbonization plays a crucial role in combating climate change and reducing our carbon footprint.Prior to embarking on my doctoral journey, I gained valuable professional experience at High-Speed Rail 2 (HS2), where I had the privilege of contributing to a ground-breaking infrastructure project. This experience provided me with a deep understanding of the intricate challenges associated with managing supply chains in high-impact scenarios. I have also collaborated with local companies like Toyota and Alstom, which further enriched my insights into supply chain operations, particularly in the automotive and rail industries.These diverse experiences have not only honed my skills but have also reinforced my unwavering commitment to making a positive impact in the field of supply chain management. My career has been driven by a profound passion for sustainability and environmental responsibility, which has led me to explore supply chain decarbonization in my research.Additionally, my active membership in professional organizations such as the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and the Chartered Management Institute further enhances my ability to stay well-informed and connected within the field, allowing me to remain at the forefront of industry trends and foster valuable connections with peers.Title of thesisInvestigation of the Scale and Impact of Supply Chain Re-Engineering to Overcome Net-Zero Challenges&#160;Supervisors&#160;Dr Pouria Liravi&#160;Prof. Qile He]]></about><image><![CDATA[https://cdn-derbyacuk.terminalfour.net/media/derbyacuk/staff-profile-images/PGR-artur-square-(1).jpg]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[]]></college><subject><![CDATA[]]></subject><department><![CDATA[]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[Centre for Supply Chain Improvement]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Research student]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Artur Wlodarczyk is a Postgraduate Research student who is pursing a Ph.D. with a specific focus on supply chain decarbonisation.&nbsp;]]></abstract><status><![CDATA[visible]]></status></staffProfile><staffProfile><name><![CDATA[Beth Wood]]></name><jobTitle><![CDATA[Lecturer in Journalism and Programme Leader for the MA Creative and Cultural Industries ]]></jobTitle><url><![CDATA[https://www.derby.ac.uk/staff/beth-wood/]]></url><about><![CDATA[I am a full-time journalism lecturer at the university and deliver to students on the BA Journalism, Specialist Sports Journalism, Football Journalism and Global Affairs programmes.

As a professor, I have been teaching up to 16 subjects of CS since 2006.My greatest achievement as a programmer is Opera-Topaz - 100,000 lines of C code running on real-world industrial plants, based on my PhD research. My toughest achievement was implementing our novel stack of networking protocols e6 within the Linux kernel.At my kindergarten Little Squirrel, I was first to finish eating and rewarded with a flag put on my table - my desire for leadership formed early.At secondary school, School No 58 in Donetsk, Ukraine, I was President of The School Scientific Society and attended a programming section at Donetsk Polytechnic Institute (DPI).

My research, titled &#8220;Rhetorical Techniques in the Cameroonian Press: The Multilingual Mediation Practices in Conflict Resolution Processes,&#8221; explores how language, rhetoric, and media intersect in shaping peace narratives in conflict-affected regions, particularly in multilingual societies like Cameroon.I hold a Master&#8217;s degree in Sociolinguistics and a Bachelor&#8217;s degree in English Language from the University of Yaound&#233; I, Cameroon, graduating with distinction. I also earned a Secondary School Teacher Diploma in Modern Letters from the University of Bamenda, where I trained in English literature pedagogy, curriculum development, and classroom management. My academic path has shaped my deep appreciation for language as a tool for transformation, both in education and in peacebuilding.With over 8 years of experience as an ESL instructor, I&#8217;ve taught across various schools in Cameroon, designing inclusive lesson plans and personalised learning strategies that help students thrive. I&#8217;m passionate about fostering environments where learners feel empowered and confident in their abilities, regardless of their background or challenges.In addition to my work in education, I am a committed advocate for youth and women&#8217;s empowerment. I founded African Industrious Ladies, a mentorship platform for young women from difficult backgrounds, helping them build self-worth and achieve their goals.

Over the years, my work has significantly shaped the fields of Restorative Justice, Victimology, Counterterrorism/Violent Extremism Studies, and Criminal Justice Reform across Africa, the United Kingdom, and global policy communities. My research career demonstrates consistent leadership, originality, and substantial influence on academic scholarship, public policy, and practice within the social sciences.I completed my PhD in Criminology at De Montfort University, Leicester, where my pioneering study on Restorative Justice and Victimology established me as one of the earliest scholars to bridge Euro-African perspectives on restorative practice. My doctoral work laid the foundation for an extensive academic career focused on transforming justice systems through evidence-based, community-centred approaches. This scholarship culminated in the publication of the influential monograph Restorative Justice and Victimology: Euro Africa Perspectives (2012), widely referenced by policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working on justice reform across Africa and Europe.I have held senior academic appointments in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria, including Professor of Criminology and Head of the Department of Sociology at the Federal University Wukari. Currently, I am a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Derby and Honorary Visiting Fellow at the University of South Wales. In these roles, I have led departmental reforms, supervised research teams, strengthened academic programmes, and contributed to institutional governance through service on Senate, business case committees, quality assurance bodies, and curriculum development panels.My leadership extends to academic programme direction and departmental management, including serving as Programme Leader for Criminology at the University of Derby (2022&#8211;2023) and multiple senior roles during my tenure in Nigeria (Acting Dean, Head of Department, Committee Chair, Senate Member). My long-standing commitment to academic development also includes mentoring early-career scholars and supporting curriculum modernisation in criminology and social sciences.&#160;]]></about><image><![CDATA[]]></image><location><![CDATA[]]></location><college><![CDATA[College of Health and Humanities]]></college><subject><![CDATA[Criminology]]></subject><department><![CDATA[School of Humanities|Law and Creative Arts]]></department><researchCentre><![CDATA[]]></researchCentre><audience><![CDATA[]]></audience><jobType><![CDATA[Lecturer]]></jobType><staffSpecialism><![CDATA[Criminology]]></staffSpecialism><keywords><![CDATA[]]></keywords><abstract><![CDATA[Prof. Dr Don John O.
