Dr. Ning Liu is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the South Australian Immunogenomics Cancer Institute (SAiGENCI) within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Adelaide. As a bioinformatician and computational biologist, Dr. Liu specializes in developing computational tools for epigenetics and transcriptomics research, with particular expertise in next-generation sequencing data analysis including ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, Hi-C, RNA-seq, single cell RNA-seq, and spatial transcriptomics. Dr. Liu's research focuses on developing novel computational methods to study the human genome in the context of transcriptomics and epigenomics. Currently, Dr. Liu maintains three Bioconductor software packages: standR for spatial transcriptomics analysis of GeoMx DSP data, hoodscanR for cellular neighborhood detection in spatial transcriptomics, and scider for modeling global cell density in spatial transcriptomics data. With strong emphasis on translating biological insights to medical applications, Dr. Liu's work bridges computational methodology with clinical relevance in cancer research and immunology. Dr. Liu is eligible to supervise Masters and PhD students as a Co-Supervisor, reflecting their established expertise in bioinformatics and computational biology. Their research has resulted in numerous publications focusing on spatial transcriptomics, cancer immunology, and computational tool development, with applications in understanding tumor microenvironments and immunotherapy response. Dr. Liu's scholarly contributions demonstrate a consistent focus on spatial biology methodologies applied to cancer research, particularly head and neck cancer. Their publications reveal expertise in developing computational frameworks that address technical challenges in spatial transcriptomics while providing biological insights with potential clinical applications in immunotherapy. As a research supervisor, Dr. Liu contributes to the academic community by mentoring graduate students in computational biology techniques and applications. Their work environment at the Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building on the West End Health Precinct provides access to state-of-the-art facilities supporting their computational research in cancer immunogenomics.

Poppy Fitch, Ed.D., serves as Lecturer in the Department of Administration, Rehabilitation and Postsecondary Education at San Diego State University and Dean of Wellness and Disability Support Programs and Services for the San Diego Community College District. An equity-focused counselor and administrator, she champions spaces of authenticity and belonging through an ethic of love, committed to ensuring all students can reach their fullest potential via transformative education. Her educational foundation includes: Ed.D. in Post-Secondary/Community College Educational Leadership from San Diego State University Master's in Education with Multicultural Counseling specialization from San Diego State University Dr. Fitch's research centers on foster youth college persistence success factors, intergenerational leadership dynamics, and frameworks for difficult conversations on identity and race. Her work bridges academic scholarship and practical administration with a strengths-based, equity-driven approach that prioritizes marginalized student populations. She integrates personal lived experience as a former foster youth with professional expertise to address systemic barriers in higher education. As Dean of Wellness and DSPS, Dr. Fitch oversees comprehensive student support services across the community college district, likely managing significant grant-funded programs for disability accommodations and wellness initiatives. Her service extends to the California Association for Postsecondary Education and Disability (CAPED) and former commissioner role with the San Diego Commission on Police Practices, reflecting deep community engagement. Leading the Wellness and DSPS division, Dr. Fitch directs teams providing critical resources for students with disabilities, creating accessible pathways to academic success. While not operating a traditional research lab, her administrative unit functions as an applied equity laboratory implementing evidence-based support strategies across multiple community college campuses.

Franklin Miller serves as an Adjunct Professor at Judson University, leveraging a distinguished 35-year career spanning U.S. Air Force service and defense contracting. His military assignments included critical roles at Thule (Greenland), Buckley Air Force Base, and NASA White Sands, culminating in retirement as DSP Project Engineer in 2004 before transitioning to academia. His educational credentials feature: Ph.D. in Education, University of Denver (1984) M.Ed. in Educational Psychology, Wayne State University (1975) B.S. in Physics and Math, Otterbein University (1969) Miller's research integrates defense systems engineering with educational technology, specializing in software design for intelligence analysis and psychological testing. His expertise in machine language programming and Cold War missile warning doctrine demonstrates cross-disciplinary impact, particularly through Dual-Use doctrine frameworks that de-escalated nuclear tensions. While his seminal 1984 dissertation pioneered computerized psychological assessment, his career-defining contributions center on defense applications where software engineering directly influenced geopolitical outcomes. His publications emphasize practical implementations over theoretical exploration, with enduring relevance in national security systems design.
