Professor Andrew Gregory is a Professor of History and Philosophy of Science in the Department of Science & Technology Studies at University College London. His academic career spans several decades with significant contributions to understanding ancient scientific thought and its philosophical foundations. His educational background includes: Doctor of Philosophy from University College London (1995) Master of Science from Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine (1991) Bachelor of Science from City, University of London (1982) Gregory's research focuses primarily on ancient science, with special emphasis on the presocratics, cosmology and cosmogony. His work explores the relationship between religion and science, as well as connections between magic and scientific thought in historical contexts. He has made notable contributions to understanding figures like William Harvey and the development of early Greek philosophies of nature. Recent publications demonstrate an expanding research agenda that bridges traditional history of science with contemporary interdisciplinary approaches, including gender perspectives in ancient scientific thought. His publication record shows a consistent focus on ancient Greek philosophy and science, particularly examining pre-Socratic thinkers like Anaximander, Democritus, and Pythagoras. The most recent works (2023-2025) indicate a growing interest in gender studies within ancient science and continued exploration of classical texts through modern scholarly lenses. Professor Gregory actively contributes to the academic community through service and leadership. He has organized the London Ancient Science Conference annually since 2000, with the 18th conference scheduled for April 2025. He also serves as a referee for prominent journals including Phronesis, Apeiron, CQ, BJHP, ESM, BJHS, and Ancient Philosophy. His teaching portfolio reflects his research expertise, including undergraduate and postgraduate courses on Science in the Ancient World, Science in Antiquity, Science Meets Religion in a Global Context, and Science and Religion. These courses demonstrate his commitment to connecting historical perspectives with contemporary discussions about science's role in society.

Robert Goulding is an Associate Professor at the Program of Liberal Studies, University of Notre Dame. He serves as Director of the Graduate Program in History and Philosophy of Science and the Reilly Center for Science, Technology, and Values. Holding undergraduate degrees in Classics (Latin) and Mathematics from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, and advanced degrees from the Warburg Institute, University of London, his career spans postdoctoral research at Princeton University and leadership roles since joining Notre Dame in 2003. Education: B.A. (Classics [Latin], First-Class Honors), B.Sc. (Mathematics), University of Canterbury; M.A. and Ph.D. (Historical Studies), Warburg Institute, University of London. His research focuses on the history of Renaissance science and mathematics, particularly the development of optics from Thomas Harriot to Descartes, the interplay of Neoplatonism and Renaissance humanism, and the historiography of magic and illusion. He has authored Defending Hypatia and is completing Images of Broken Light , which traces the discovery of the law of refraction between 1597 and 1637. His scholarly work has been supported by prestigious institutions including the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), the Newberry Library, and the Institute for Advanced Study. As Director of the Reilly Center since 2018, he oversees multiple graduate and undergraduate programs in History and Philosophy of Science (HPS).

• Machine Learning
• +۲ مورد دیگر

Mike Gagliardo is a Professor of Mathematics at California Lutheran University, holding office in ASC 111F with contact email mgagliar@callutheran.edu. His academic career includes prior teaching at a small liberal arts institution in Jacksonville, Florida. His educational background features a B.S. in Mathematics from Southwestern University and M.A./Ph.D. degrees from the University of Texas at Austin, where his doctoral research focused on differential geometry—the intersection of calculus and geometry. Additional training includes a third-degree Taekwondo black belt earned during high school teaching. Current research spans mathematical 3D printing (with designs previously hosted on Shapeways), machine learning applications, and pedagogical innovation in equitable classroom practices. His work bridges pure mathematics with emerging technologies, emphasizing inclusive teaching methodologies developed through inquiry-based learning frameworks. Though Shapeways' marketplace ceased operations in July 2024 due to bankruptcy, his mathematical designs remain conceptually significant. Dr. Gagliardo's teaching philosophy, forged through early Taekwondo instruction, prioritizes student engagement and accessibility. He actively explores classroom equity while maintaining personal interests in soccer, culinary experiences, science fiction literature, and Magic: The Gathering.

Annegret Weng serves as Professor and Dean of the School of Applied Mathematics and AI at Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences since 2009, with board membership in the German Society for Financial and Insurance Mathematics (DGVFM) since 2023. Her career bridges industry expertise from Allianz and SV Sparkassenversicherung with academic leadership in quantitative disciplines. Diploma in Mathematics, University of Frankfurt PhD, University of Essen (1999) Postdoctoral Research, Universities of Essen and Mainz (1999-2001) Her research integrates pure mathematics with financial applications, focusing on number theory (De Bruijn sequences, cyclic matrices) and actuarial science (Solvency II compliance, disability risk modeling). Recent work explores AI's role in educational assessment and regulatory frameworks for insurance algorithms, demonstrating consistent innovation across theoretical and applied domains. Publication trends (2015-2024) reveal dual expertise: advancing actuarial methodologies through parameter uncertainty modeling while pioneering AI-driven educational tools. Her work consistently connects recreational mathematics (e.g., magical properties of linear recursions) with industry-critical applications in insurance risk assessment. As head of the Laboratory for Quantitative Methods of Actuarial Mathematics , she leads research in computational risk modeling. Her industry engagement includes the German Actuarial Association's Big Data in Life Insurance Working Group (since 2024) and DGVFM's School Working Group (since 2019), driving collaboration between academia and insurance regulators.

Dan McQuillan serves as Chair of the Department of Mathematics and holds the Charles A. Dana Professorship at Norwich University's College of Arts & Sciences. With over twenty peer-reviewed publications across multiple mathematical disciplines, he teaches eighteen courses including Discrete Mathematics and Calculus, emphasizing deep conceptual understanding to simplify complex problems. He earned his Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Mathematics from Western University and B.A. in Mathematics from Carleton University, Canada. McQuillan's research centers on Combinatorics and Topological Graph Theory, with landmark contributions to magic labelings of graphs and crossing numbers of complete graphs. His work bridges abstract algebra, geometric topology, and pedagogical innovation, frequently collaborating with cross-departmental faculty on calculus teaching methodologies and involving undergraduates in tractable yet profound mathematical research. Recent publications demonstrate sustained focus on graph labelings and topological embeddings, revealing patterns where combinatorial structures yield elegant geometric solutions. This trajectory highlights his philosophy of deriving surprising simplicity from apparent complexity, with problems intentionally designed for undergraduate accessibility. As an academic mentor, he initiated Norwich's participation in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition in 2002 and continues coaching the team. His undergraduate research mentorship has produced four peer-reviewed publications in discrete mathematics, primarily through summer projects on magic graph labelings. He leads the Putnam Competition team and directs student summer research initiatives, fostering collaborative environments where undergraduates contribute directly to publishable mathematical discoveries in discrete structures.
