Andrea Waters-Rist is an Associate Professor in Biological Anthropology at the Department of Anthropology, Western University. She holds a PhD from the University of Calgary (2011). Her research focuses on using bioarchaeological methods to reconstruct dietary practices, health conditions, and social behaviors in past populations, with a strong emphasis on stable isotope analysis and skeletal biology. Waters-Rist has conducted extensive studies in North America, Europe, and Siberia, examining topics such as infant feeding practices in historical populations, vitamin D deficiency in medieval communities, and the effects of urbanization on dietary patterns. Notable research interests include: Stable isotope applications in paleodietary reconstruction Historical and prehistoric breastfeeding/weaning behaviors Biocultural analysis of skeletal pathologies (e.g., rickets, osteoarthritis) Human-environment interactions in foraging and farming societies Methodological advancements in osteological recording and analysis Her recent work has illuminated breastfeeding variability in 19th-century Dutch farming communities and demonstrated how enamel defects reflect pre-natal stress in infants. Waters-Rist has also pioneered innovative approaches to studying activity patterns through entheseal changes in skeletal remains. Her interdisciplinary projects often integrate archaeological, historical, and biological data to address questions about social inequality, health disparities, and cultural adaptation.

Katherine Damme is an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, affiliated with the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences. Her research focuses on neurodevelopmental pathways to psychopathology, leveraging structural/functional MRI and longitudinal modeling to understand how adolescent brain changes influence mental health risks. She leads the Developmental Affective, Motor, Memory, & Imaging (DAMMI) Lab and currently accepts graduate students. Education: PhD in Psychology (Northwestern University, 2018), MS in Psychology (Northwestern, 2015), BA in Cognitive Neuroscience (Vanderbilt, 2009). Research interests include translating neurobiological and cognitive developmental processes into interventions for healthy brain development. Key topics: adolescent brain networks, clinical neuroscience, and cognitive neuroscience applications in mental health. Recent publications explore environmental impacts on brain function, individualized clinical strategies, and transdiagnostic approaches using FitBit data. Funded projects investigate estrogen's role in psychotic-like experiences during adolescence. Affiliations include the Center for Vital Longevity and the Society for Biological Psychiatry. Grants include NIH-funded work analyzing ABCD study data to identify mechanisms linking estrogen fluctuations to psychosis risk.

Line Clemmensen serves as Associate Professor at DTU Compute (Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science), Technical University of Denmark, where she has held faculty positions since 2010. Her interdisciplinary work bridges statistical learning, machine learning, and real-world applications in mental healthcare, biotechnology, and agricultural informatics. Her academic credentials include: Ph.D. in Image Analysis and Computer Graphics from DTU (2010), thesis: "High-dimensional sparse data analysis" M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from DTU (2006) Exchange studies at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Barcelona (2004) Mathematical graduate from Falkonergården upper secondary school (2000) Clemmensen's research centers on machine learning and statistical learning with emphasis on low-resource modeling, representation learning, and AI evaluation methodologies. She applies these techniques to mental health (developing biosensor-based OCD monitoring systems), biotechnology (spectral data analysis for pharmaceutical quality control), and environmental science (crop health assessment via remote sensing). Her work consistently addresses challenges in data scarcity and model interpretability. Analysis of her recent publications reveals dominant trends in computational psychiatry (e.g., detecting OCD episodes through physiological signals and oxytocin biomarkers) and agricultural AI (linking soil microbiome composition to crop health via machine learning). Methodologically, she pioneers interpretable deep learning frameworks for low-resource settings and robust time-series analysis techniques for physiological data. She has supervised 10 PhD students to completion (including Jacob Søgaard Larsen on NIR management and Gudmundur Einarsson on psychiatric motion quantification) and mentored 13 Master's/Bachelor's students. Current funding includes the LundbeckFonden LF-Experiment grant for the FAST project (Fast Assessment of psychiatric Symptoms to Transform Mental Health Care). Within DTU Compute's Section for Statistics and Data Analysis, Clemmensen leads collaborations with Novo Nordisk (biostatistics), the Danish Meat Industry, and clinical psychiatry teams, focusing on real-world AI deployment in mental healthcare and industrial applications.

Tehila Nugiel is Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Florida State University. Her research investigates how neuroscience can improve academic and mental health outcomes for youth, using fMRI to study brain function in children with learning challenges and ADHD. Research examines brain network dynamics during attention and reward processing tasks, neurocognitive development across childhood/adolescence, and impacts of interventions like methylphenidate. Current projects explore pubertal influences on mental health, discrimination effects on attention networks, and neurocognitive foundations of academic skills in diverse learners. Recent publications focus on: cortical development and neurocognition (2025), network reconfiguration during cognitive tasks (2025), methylphenidate effects on brain organization in ADHD (2025), and neural correlates of academic skills in English learners (2023-2024). Methodological innovations include motion-reduction techniques for pediatric fMRI and tools for ecological validity assessment.
