Marc Choisy serves as Group Head of Mathematical Modelling at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and holds an honorary Associate Professor position at the University of Hong Kong's School of Public Health. His work bridges epidemiological modeling with public health interventions across Southeast Asia. Education: MSc in Biostatistics (University of Montpellier) MSc in Ecology & Evolution (University of Montpellier) PhD in Integrative Biology (University of Montpellier) Choisy specializes in mathematical modeling of infectious disease transmission, with particular focus on environmental and climatic drivers of epidemics. His research spans dengue, influenza, measles, and SARS-CoV-2 dynamics, examining spatial transmission patterns, vaccine optimization, and antimicrobial resistance. He pioneered the use of Facebook colocation data to map Vietnam's district-level contact networks during the 2020 pandemic, revealing the precise impact of lockdowns on disease spread. His team developed sero-surveillance systems using residual hospital samples to identify immunization gaps, notably demonstrating how absolute humidity drives Vietnam's influenza seasonality gradient from south to north. His publication trends reveal consistent focus on climate-sensitive diseases (dengue, TB), vaccine-preventable outbreaks, and antimicrobial resistance in agricultural settings. Recent work emphasizes open-data pipelines (2025) and cross-border disease dynamics in urbanizing Southeast Asia. Professional Activities: Associate Editor, PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases Developer of R packages for epidemiological modeling (cutoff, midp) Co-leader of Vietnam's hospital-based sero-surveillance system Advocate for reproducible research and open data practices Choisy leads OUCRU's Mathematical Modelling group, which integrates big data analytics with traditional epidemiological methods. His team's work on 18 years of dengue data across 8 countries demonstrated region-wide outbreak synchrony driven by El Niño patterns, while measles sero-surveys revealed critical vaccination gaps below the 95% herd immunity threshold in multiple Vietnamese regions.

Francesco Pavani serves as Full Professor of Experimental Psychology and Deputy Dean at the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC) at the University of Trento, where he also holds the Rector’s delegate position for coordinating PhD programs university-wide. His academic leadership spans roles as Head of the PhD School in Cognitive and Brain Sciences (2013–2019) and international affiliations including associate membership at Lyon’s Centre de Recherche en Neuroscience. Pavani’s research bridges cognitive neuroscience, deafness studies, and multisensory perception with translational applications for cochlear implant users. Education Ph.D. in Psychology, University of Bologna (2000; Supervisor: Elisabetta Làdavas) Master equivalent degree (Laurea Magistrale) in Psychology, University of Bologna (1995) Honorary Research Fellow, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London (1998; Supervisor: Jon Driver) Visitor Scholar, Center for Neural Engineering, University of Southern California (1994; Supervisor: Michael A. Arbib) Research Focus Pavani investigates multisensory perception and attention mechanisms in typical and atypical populations, with emphasis on deafness, cochlear implantation, and neural plasticity. His work integrates psychophysics, neuropsychology, and neuroimaging to dissect how auditory, visual, and motor systems interact during spatial processing, language comprehension, and metacognitive judgments. Current projects examine spatial hearing rehabilitation through virtual reality, metacognitive aspects of listening effort, and the impact of face masks on communication for deaf individuals—addressing critical gaps in inclusive healthcare and education. Publication Trends His 2024–2025 publications reveal three dominant threads: (1) metacognitive dimensions of hearing (e.g., confidence in spatial judgments, effort tracking during speech-in-noise), (2) neural plasticity in cochlear implant users across ages, and (3) real-world communication barriers like face masks. Methodologically, he pioneers active listening paradigms where motor actions (reaching, postural adjustments) modulate auditory perception—highlighting embodiment’s role in sensory rehabilitation. Over 70% of recent work involves multicentric collaborations, emphasizing clinical translation.
