Mihaela Pavlicev serves as a Professor in the Department of Evolutionary Biology within the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Vienna. Her research program bridges evolutionary theory, developmental biology, and genomics to investigate fundamental questions about mammalian reproduction and phenotypic evolution. Her primary research interests focus on: Evolutionary developmental mechanisms underlying pregnancy Genomic innovations at the fetal-maternal interface Pleiotropy and evolvability in complex traits Comparative analysis of reproductive systems across mammals Evolutionary trade-offs in pelvic morphology and childbirth Analysis of her recent publication trajectory (2023-2025) reveals a concentrated effort to decode cellular and molecular innovations in mammalian pregnancy through single-cell genomics and cross-species comparisons. Her work consistently challenges established paradigms, such as demonstrating that uterine receptivity mechanisms predate placental mammals and re-evaluating the obstetrical dilemma in human evolution. Key methodological approaches include comparative transcriptomics, quantitative genetics, and theoretical modeling of evolutionary processes. Dr. Pavlicev leads significant research initiatives including: Evolutionary trade-offs in the human and mammalian pelvis (2023-2026, active) Evolution of the mammalian maternal-fetal cell-communication (2020-2024, completed) She actively mentors students and postdoctoral researchers while maintaining extensive international collaborations, particularly with the Wagner lab. Her advisory role extends through co-authorship on numerous publications and supervision of research projects focused on evolutionary genomics and reproductive biology. Her laboratory employs cutting-edge single-cell genomic techniques to investigate cell type evolution across mammalian species, with particular emphasis on decidual stromal cells and fetal-maternal signaling networks. Current work integrates computational approaches to model evolutionary trajectories of reproductive traits while examining clinical implications for pregnancy disorders.

Dr. Nicoll holds a Doctor of Philosophy - Arts from the University of Melbourne. His academic journey has positioned him at the forefront of critical media studies, particularly focusing on the theoretical dimensions of digital media and gaming cultures. Dr. Nicoll's research centers on the critical theory of media and technologies, with a specialized focus on videogames. His theoretical approach draws from psychoanalytic theory, cultural studies, critical social theory, and queer theory. He is particularly interested in developing a psychoanalytic theory of jouissance (enjoyment) in videogame play, examining how players experience pleasure and satisfaction through gaming interactions. His work often explores the intersections between gaming culture, identity formation, and social structures, with particular attention to how games articulate experiences of belonging and non-belonging. His scholarly contributions include the monograph Minor Platforms in Videogame History (Amsterdam University Press, 2019) and the co-authored work with Brendan Keogh, The Unity Game Engine and the Circuits of Cultural Software (Palgrave, 2019). His recent publications demonstrate a consistent trajectory toward understanding the psychological dimensions of gaming enjoyment, with articles in Angelaki , Games and Culture , and Distinktion exploring topics ranging from ecological consciousness in games to the enjoyment of nonbelonging. Dr. Nicoll is currently a Chief Investigator on the ARC Discovery project, 'Artistic Practice in Australian Videogame Development,' which examines the creative processes within Australia's game development industry. His work on game engines, platform histories, and crossmedia play demonstrates his comprehensive approach to understanding gaming cultures from multiple theoretical perspectives.
