Dr. Peter Bartsch serves as curator of the fish collection and construction project officer at the Museum für Naturkunde (MfN), Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science, which is affiliated with Humboldt University Berlin. With expertise in ichthyology, embryology, and comparative anatomy, Dr. Bartsch has been instrumental in the museum's collection management and building renovation projects since joining the institution as a research associate before becoming curator in 2000. Dr. Bartsch received his academic training in ichthyology, embryology, and comparative anatomy at the University of Cologne. His academic career includes positions as a research assistant at the University of Tübingen and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Natural History Museum in Stockholm before joining the Museum für Naturkunde. Dr. Bartsch's primary research focuses on the evolution and systematics of major groups of bony fishes (Osteichthyes), with particular emphasis on primitive ray-finned fish lineages. His work integrates morphological analysis of both fossil and extant species to understand evolutionary relationships. A significant portion of his research centers on the developmental biology of ancient fish groups, especially the Polypteridae (bichirs), examining embryonic development, skeletal formation, and sensory systems. More recently, his interests have expanded to include the logistics and optimal management of research collections, reflecting his administrative responsibilities at the museum. Analysis of Dr. Bartsch's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on fish morphology, evolution, and development, with particular attention to primitive actinopterygian lineages. His work spans both systematic taxonomy and functional morphology, with increasing attention to museum collection management challenges. The publications demonstrate expertise in comparative anatomy across diverse fish groups including chondrichthyans (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) and basal actinopterygians. Recent work shows integration of molecular phylogenetic approaches with traditional morphological analysis. Dr. Bartsch has held significant administrative roles at the Museum für Naturkunde, serving as head of the collections department from 2011 to 2013. He was responsible for the museum's construction program for the east wing reconstruction, completed in 2010, which created modern facilities for the storage and scientific processing of the museum's wet collections. Currently, he manages the second phase of the building's renovation that began in 2011 and participates in planning for the future development of the museum's facilities. The Museum für Naturkunde houses extensive ichthyological collections that form the basis for Dr. Bartsch's research. His work involves close collaboration with various research teams within the museum, particularly in the areas of molecular phylogenetics, collection preservation, and paleontological research. The museum's facilities include specialized laboratories for morphological analysis, molecular studies, and collection management that support his research activities.

Jenny Kao-Kniffin is a Professor in the Horticulture Section of the School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell University. Her research focuses on the belowground ecology of horticultural landscapes, particularly the ecology and management of invasive plants and weeds in horticultural landscapes, wetlands, and urban ecosystems. She applies concepts from microbial ecology to understand how soil microorganisms impact plant populations both beneficially (aiding in plant growth and fitness) and negatively (keeping populations in check). Dr. Kao-Kniffin's research interests include: Weed science and ecological management of weeds Urban ecology and urban agriculture Rhizosphere biology and plant-microbe interactions Soil microbiome selection and manipulation Ecological approaches to sustainable agriculture Her work centers on three main research areas: selection of rhizosphere microbiomes that modulate plant traits, identifying functional roles of microbiomes that mediate plant growth, and assembly of plant-microbial communities that enhance ecosystem services.

Giuseppe Marcocci serves as Professor of Early Modern Global History at the University of Oxford and holds the position of Official Fellow at Exeter College. His academic career spans institutions across Italy and the United Kingdom, with a focus on transnational historical frameworks connecting Iberian empires to global developments. Marcocci completed his undergraduate education at the University of Pisa before earning his PhD from the Scuola Normale Superiore in 2008. His doctoral research examined early modern Portuguese imperial ideology, establishing the foundation for his subsequent scholarly trajectory. His research interrogates power dynamics within Iberian global empires through three interconnected lenses: imperial ideology and visual dissent (particularly political iconoclasm in colonial contexts), religious transformations (centering on the Inquisition, missionary activity, and convert agency), and global knowledge production. Marcocci employs microhistorical approaches to reveal transnational networks, as evidenced by his current projects on Portuguese mercenary systems in India and the material dimensions of heresy. Analysis of his publication record reveals a consistent methodological innovation—bridging archival discoveries from five continents with theoretical frameworks that challenge Eurocentric narratives of early modernity. His work consistently demonstrates how marginalized voices and visual practices shaped imperial structures across Portuguese and Spanish domains. Marcocci actively mentors the next generation of historians through supervision of eight doctoral candidates whose research spans Iberian global history. He contributes significantly to Oxford's academic infrastructure as Chair of the Oxford Centre for European History and convenor of the Iberian History Seminar series. His collaborative initiatives—including international workshops on visual dissent and material culture—demonstrate commitment to building interdisciplinary research communities. Current projects examining same-sex marriage memory distortion and revising Portuguese Inquisition historiography further extend his impact across gender studies and religious history.
