Dr. Andrew Evans is a Lecturer in Sport Psychology within the School of Health & Society at the University of Salford. He serves as the Level 6 Manager for the BSc (Hons) Sports Science programme and is affiliated with the Centre for Human Movement and Rehabilitation research center. His academic profile demonstrates active engagement in both teaching and research across undergraduate programmes. His research focuses on social identity theory applications in sport psychology, particularly examining social identity leadership, Personal-Disclosure Mutual-Sharing (PDMS) interventions, irrational and rational beliefs, and cognitive appraisal processes. Recent work extends these concepts to educational contexts including student transition to university and academic performance anxiety. Analysis of his 16 publications (2013-2024) reveals consistent methodological rigor with increasing interdisciplinary reach. His work spans sport performance contexts (rugby, soccer, cricket) to educational settings, maintaining core theoretical grounding in social identity while addressing practical applications for coaches, athletes, and educators. The 2024 publications particularly highlight expansion into children's physical activity motivation and university student emotion regulation. Professional recognition includes: CASES Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist Chartered Scientist status Teaching responsibilities encompass module leadership across all undergraduate levels, with specialization in sport psychology content delivery and research supervision. His current role as Level 6 Manager demonstrates program leadership capacity within the Sports Science curriculum. While not available for PhD supervision, he actively mentors undergraduate researchers through dissertation projects. Dr. Evans maintains active research productivity with 3 publications in 2024 alone, demonstrating ongoing contribution to sport psychology literature with increasing diversification into educational psychology applications.

Annette Bruun Jensen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in the Section for Organismal Biology. Her research focuses on the complex interactions between microorganisms and insects, with particular emphasis on insect diseases and their ecological and applied implications. Her primary research areas include: Insect production for food and feed Apiculture (honeybee disease management, subspecies, and conservation) Biological control of insects using insect-pathogenic fungi Insect pathology (ecology and phylogeny of insect pathogenic fungi) Evolutionary biology (co-evolution of insects and microorganisms) Dr. Jensen's work spans a broad range of insect species including honey bees, ants, flies, aphids, crickets, and beetles. Her research integrates fundamental understanding of microbe-insect interactions with practical applications in sustainable agriculture, pest management, and food production systems. She has made significant contributions to understanding honeybee health, black soldier fly pathology, and the development of insects as sustainable food sources. Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the safety and sustainability of insect-based food systems, the impact of pesticides on pollinator health, and the development of biological control methods using entomopathogenic fungi. Her work has received considerable attention in the scientific community with multiple highly cited publications across entomology, microbiology, and sustainable agriculture disciplines. Dr. Jensen has presented her research at international conferences, including talks on honeybee subspecies susceptibility to diseases and molecular interactions between insects and pathogens. Her research has been referenced in policy sources, picked up by news outlets, and widely shared in academic networks, indicating its relevance to both scientific advancement and practical applications.
