Eduardus (Evert) Duin is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Auburn University, specializing in mechanistic enzymology, metalloenzymes, and biochemical processes related to methane formation and oxidation. His research focuses on methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) and heterodisulfide reductase (HDR), critical enzymes in methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea. University of Amsterdam – Ph.D. (1996) University of Georgia – Postdoctoral Associate (1996–1998) Max-Planck-Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology – Humboldt/MPI Fellow (1999–2002) His work investigates the biochemical activation mechanisms of MCR, particularly the role of electron bifurcation and ATP hydrolysis in its function, with implications for mitigating methane emissions in livestock and rice fields. His studies on HDR explore cofactor interactions and conformational changes in electron bifurcation processes. The research involves interdisciplinary approaches combining recombinant protein technology, site-directed mutagenesis, redox titrations, rapid-mix/rapid freeze techniques, and computational modeling. These methods aim to elucidate the structure-function relationships of nickel-containing coenzyme F430 and its role in methane production. Duin’s publications highlight collaborations with institutions like the University of Georgia, Max-Planck-Institute, and contributions to journals such as PNAS, Journal of Bacteriology, and Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Karin Jarnkvist serves as Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor in Sociology at Mid Sweden University's Department of Humanities and Social Sciences in Sundsvall. She holds key responsibilities including oversight of doctoral education in sociology, management of the master's program in sociology with research focus, and coordination of the Network for Critical Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies. Her academic home within the university centers on sociological inquiry with strong interdisciplinary connections to religious studies and gender research. Her educational foundation includes a PhD in Religious Studies from Umeå University (2011), where her dissertation "När jag gifter mig ska jag göra det på riktigt: Berättelser om barn, brudar och bröllop" analyzed gender and class dynamics in young adults' wedding narratives. This doctoral work established her methodological approach combining narrative analysis with critical theoretical perspectives. Jarnkvist's research program interrogates the nexus of social stratification, gender relations, and ritual practices in contemporary society. She examines how individuals negotiate meaning in close relationships, construct family identities, and navigate life rites such as weddings and funerals within secularizing contexts. Her signature contribution involves applying intersectional frameworks to reveal how class, gender, and ethnicity shape experiences across diverse domains from climate risk perception to funeral practices. This critical-feminist lens consistently exposes power dynamics in seemingly neutral social processes. Analysis of her recent publications reveals three converging trajectories: pandemic-era transformations in funeral practices (particularly Swedish media representations during COVID-19), the emergence of civil ceremonies as sites of meaning-making, and the application of intersectionality to non-religious ritualization. Her work increasingly bridges ritual studies with environmental sociology, examining how climate risks are experienced through stratified social positions. As an educator, Jarnkvist supervises theses from Bachelor's to doctoral levels while teaching core sociology courses including Qualitative Methods, Sociological Gender Theory, and Class/Gender/Ethnicity. Her research collaborations span multiple institutions including Umeå University, Uppsala University, and Norway's University of Agder, where she conducted pandemic funeral research. Major projects have addressed refugee reception in rural areas (2018-2021), climate change and housing (2015-2017), and intimate partner violence (2014-2016). She actively shapes academic discourse through leadership roles including coordinator of the Network for Critical Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies since 2019 and membership in the steering group for Mid Sweden University's Forum for Gender Research. These positions facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogue on ritual practices and gender dynamics in institutional contexts.

Dr. Patrick Felix Krüger serves as a Researcher at Ruhr University Bochum, holding multiple concurrent positions including Project Leader of the Jainism Research Unit (Forschungsstelle Jainismus), Independent Researcher for the Missionary Collections Research Focus (Forschungsschwerpunkt Missionssammlungen), and Research Associate at the Center for Religious Studies (CERES), Collaborative Research Center 1475 'Metaphors of Religion', and South Asian Religious History research group. His institutional affiliation demonstrates deep integration within Bochum's religious studies infrastructure. Krüger earned his Doctorate in South Asian Art History from the Free University of Berlin, complemented by Master's degrees in Indian Art History and East Asian Art History (Free University of Berlin) and South Asian History with Islamic Studies (Humboldt University of Berlin). His academic formation included intensive supplementary studies in Indology, Tibetan studies, and Mongolian studies, establishing interdisciplinary foundations for his research. Specializing in Jain art and religious history across ancient, medieval, and modern India, Krüger examines visual representations of religious concepts, particularly through Kalpasūtra manuscript illustrations. His research extends to Hindu religious art, missionary history collections, and theoretical museology, with increasing focus on metaphor analysis in religious contexts and intercultural exchange through material culture. He investigates how religious ideas manifest visually across cultural boundaries and historical periods. Analysis of Krüger's 15 most recent publications reveals three dominant trends: sustained expertise in Jain manuscript iconography (especially Kalpasūtra traditions), growing emphasis on metaphorical structures in religious imagery, and collaborative work on missionary collections as sites of intercultural contact. His partnership with Martin Radermacher and Knut Martin Stünkel produces significant contributions on art's role in religious exchange, while his solo work maintains foundational scholarship on Jain visual culture. His scientific recognition includes: Käte Hamburger Fellowship (2016) for 'The Visualization of the Dharma' project Krüger secures research funding through multiple channels including the German Research Foundation (DFG)-funded Collaborative Research Center 1475 and institutional projects at CERES. While the provided materials list no formal PhD or Master's advisees, his leadership of the Jainism Research Unit and collaborative projects indicates mentorship of junior researchers. His grant portfolio spans historical analysis of religious imagery to contemporary museum practices. As a core member of Ruhr University Bochum's Center for Religious Studies (CERES) and the SFB 1475 'Metaphors of Religion' team, Krüger contributes to interdisciplinary research clusters examining religion through visual, material, and metaphorical lenses. His work bridges art history, religious studies, and museum anthropology within Bochum's vibrant academic ecosystem.
