Helen Verran is a Professorial Research Fellow at Charles Darwin University's Northern Institute within the Faculty of Arts and Society. An accomplished ethnographer with a distinguished career spanning seven universities across four continents, she has dedicated her academic life to exploring cross-cultural knowledge work, particularly with Indigenous communities. Before joining Charles Darwin University, she spent twenty-five years teaching and researching in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Melbourne, where she collaborated extensively with Yolngu Aboriginal knowledge authorities. University of Melbourne (25 years in History and Philosophy of Science) Nigeria (8 years in the 1980s working with Yoruba teachers) Charles Darwin University (current position at the Northern Institute) Verran's research centers on ethnographic approaches to knowledge production in an era dominated by numerics, algorithms, and big data. She investigates how first-person experience and Indigenous knowledge systems can inform policy and governance, preventing crucial aspects of human experience from being lost in purely quantitative approaches. Her work spans Indigenous knowledge traditions, philosophy of science, comparative philosophy, and decolonizing practices, with particular focus on Yolngu Aboriginal Australian knowledge systems and Yoruba knowledge from Nigeria. She has developed innovative 'Ground Up' research methods that enhance Indigenous sovereignties and has made significant contributions to Science and Technology Studies (STS), especially regarding numbers and enumeration in cross-cultural contexts. Her recent publications reveal a sustained engagement with decolonizing methodologies, museum epistemology, Indigenous knowledge systems, and the philosophical implications of cross-cultural knowledge exchange. Verran's work consistently examines the tensions between different knowledge systems while developing practical approaches for working across these differences respectfully. She has made notable contributions to understanding Indigenous mathematics and the role of numbers in different cultural contexts, as evidenced by her award-winning book 'Science and an African Logic' (2001). Vice Chancellor's Award for Research Impact (2023) International prizes for 'Science and an African Logic' (2001) Referenced in Wikipedia pages Verran actively supervises postgraduate research and shares her expertise through 'Espresso Yourself!' sessions for Higher Degree by Research students. Her current projects include 'Design and evaluation as strategies/practices for exploring organisational sustainability' and 'Hope and a Decolonising Pedagogy,' reflecting her commitment to developing practical applications of her theoretical work. She has established collaborative research frameworks with Indigenous communities in Arnhem Land, particularly focused on digital technologies, environmental management, and education in remote settlements.

Tom Brughmans serves as Associate Professor in Classical Archaeology at Aarhus University's School of Culture and Society, where he pioneers the application of network science and computational modeling to archaeological questions. His work bridges theoretical archaeology with complexity science, focusing on long-term economic dynamics in the Roman Empire through quantitative analysis of material culture distribution. His research centers on developing methodological frameworks for archaeological network analysis, with specific expertise in Roman economic integration, amphorae trade networks, and agent-based simulation of ancient economies. Brughmans advocates for computational reproducibility and open-science practices, creating accessible tools that transform complex archaeological data into analyzable network structures while challenging traditional interpretations of Roman market systems. Brughmans' publication trajectory reveals three dominant trends: advancing theoretical foundations of archaeological network science through handbooks and methodological guides; empirical investigations into Roman economic complexity using big-data approaches to amphorae distributions; and development of public-facing simulation platforms that translate academic research into interactive experiences. His work consistently integrates computational techniques with archaeological evidence to model socio-economic processes across centuries. His scientific recognition includes prestigious competitive fellowships: Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship (2017-2019) for the MERCURY project Marie-Curie Individual Fellowship (2019-2020) for SIMREC Brughmans directs multiple major research initiatives including the Past Social Networks Project (an open repository for ancient network data), NEFLARA (a Marie-Curie project developing landscape archaeology frameworks), and MINERVA (focused on Roman economic functioning). He has secured substantial funding from the Leverhulme Trust, Marie-Curie Actions, and ERASMUS+ for projects advancing computational archaeology, while actively promoting collaborative research through platforms like FORVM that make economic modeling accessible to broader audiences. As a core member of Aarhus University's Centre for Urban Network Evolutions (UrbNet), he contributes to interdisciplinary investigations of ancient urban connectivity. His leadership extends to developing international research networks through the Oxford Handbook of Archaeological Network Research and creating open educational resources that democratize access to network analysis methodologies in archaeology.
