Ulrika Dahl is Professor of Gender Studies at Uppsala University's Center for Gender Research since 2018. Her work bridges critical race theory, queer kinship studies, and feminist epistemology within Scandinavian and transnational contexts. Her educational background includes a BA Magna Cum Laude in Anthropology and Gender Studies from Lawrence University (1994) and a Ph.D. in Anthropology and Women's Studies from UC Santa Cruz (2004). She has held positions at Södertörn University (2004-2016), Stockholm University, and served as Fulbright Hildeman Fellow at Gustavus Adolphus College (2011). Dahl's research centers on three interconnected strands: 1) Queer kinship and race in assisted reproduction (currently leading the Forte-funded project Scandinavian Border Crossings with Rikke Andreassen); 2) Anti-gender movements and conservative feminism (within Swedish Research Council's Future of Democracy environment); 3) Creative writing as feminist methodology. Her approach combines decolonial pedagogy with intersectional analysis of whiteness, affect, and reproductive politics. Her publication trends reveal consistent engagement with queer kinship formations (35% of recent work), anti-gender discourse (25%), creative methodologies (20%), and critical whiteness studies (20%). The interdisciplinary nature spans gender studies, anthropology, sociology of reproduction, and critical race theory.

David Balota serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. With a career spanning multiple decades, his research has significantly contributed to our understanding of cognitive processes in aging and Alzheimer's disease. His work bridges theoretical cognitive psychology with clinical applications, particularly in developing sensitive cognitive markers for early detection of neurodegenerative conditions. Dr. Balota's primary research interests focus on the interplay between attention, memory, and language processing, with specific emphasis on how these cognitive domains change in healthy aging and in the presence of dementing illnesses like Alzheimer's disease. His research program has extensively examined automatic and controlled processes in cognitive tasks, lexical decision performance across the lifespan, and the development of sensitive cognitive markers for preclinical Alzheimer's disease. A significant portion of his recent work has focused on mind-wandering, reaction time variability, and their relationship to Alzheimer's disease biomarkers. His extensive publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to the field, with recent work increasingly incorporating digital assessment methods and biomarker research. Dr. Balota has made notable contributions to understanding how subtle cognitive changes can predict progression to cognitive impairment, particularly through examining attentional control processes and their relationship to tau pathology and neurodegeneration. Dr. Balota has been instrumental in developing large-scale lexical decision and naming corpora that have become standard resources in psycholinguistics research. His work on the English Lexicon Project has provided valuable data for understanding word recognition processes across different age groups and clinical populations.

Iza Marfisi is a Professor at the University of Le Mans where she became a University Professor in 2024 and was appointed Head of the IEIAH (Computer Environments for Human Learning) team in 2025. She works within the Claude Chappe Institute of Computer Science, focusing on developing educational technologies that empower teachers to create their own digital learning tools. Her research bridges computer science and educational theory to enhance teaching practices through accessible technology solutions, with particular emphasis on making advanced tools usable for non-technical educators. Marfisi's research spans Educational Technology, Serious Games for Education, Mobile Learning, and Extended Reality (XR), with a consistent focus on teacher-centered design. She develops "no-code" authoring tools enabling educators to create custom digital learning experiences deployable across various hardware platforms. Her work specifically targets situated learning with mobile devices, human-computer interactions for learning, and educational applications of mixed and extended reality. This approach democratizes access to advanced educational technologies by removing technical barriers for teachers. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a clear evolution from foundational mobile learning frameworks toward increasingly sophisticated integration of mixed reality and artificial intelligence in educational contexts. Her 2024-2025 work shows particular emphasis on generative AI for educational activity design, immersive pharmacology learning, and collaborative frameworks that connect multiple learning technologies. The publications consistently emphasize practical teacher needs, with many studies conducted in authentic educational settings rather than controlled laboratory environments. Marfisi actively supervises doctoral research across multiple dimensions of educational technology. Her current advisees explore artificial intelligence for mixed reality activity creation, mixed reality for professional training, free software approaches to serious games, and innovative interaction techniques for collaborative learning. Previous students have investigated mixed reality for fraction learning, educational game indexing systems, and mobile educational game design models. Her supervision portfolio demonstrates both depth in specific technical areas and breadth across the educational technology landscape. As Head of the IEIAH team at LIUM since 2025, Marfisi leads a research group focused on computer environments for human learning. She also serves on the Board of Directors for both the Serious Game Society and the IKIGAI association (Games for citizens), and was elected Deputy Director of Research at the Claude Chappe Institute of Computer Science since 2018. Her leadership extends to communications management for the IEIAH team and participation in the LIUM Laboratory Council (2022-2024), demonstrating significant institutional impact beyond her direct research contributions.
