Professor Margaret Cusack.
|
|
![]() |
Maggie Cusack’s central research focus is on biominerals such as shells, bones and corals. In biology, minerals tend to be composites of vast numbers of nanogranules, with associated organic components, that are assembled to form structures that are effectively single crystals. Living systems exert exquisite control on biomineral formation, producing functional structures that are light and strong. There is, therefore, a drive to mimic and improve on biology’s approach and this requires that the biological control of biomineralisation is understood. Marine biominerals contain a rich climate record that can be accessed via proxies. Such approaches also necessitate determination of biological and environmental influence on biomineral formation. |

Professor Hugh Gordon Nimmo.
|
|
![]() |
Professor Nimmo’s scientific interests concern the mechanisms and roles of circadian clocks, particularly in plants. The Earth's rotation results in alternating periods of light and dark; these clocks have evolved to allow organisms to anticipate such regular changes rather than merely respond to them. Understanding how a timing device can be built out of genes and proteins is both intellectually fascinating and practically relevant in an era of climate change, because the circadian clock impacts on agronomically-important traits such as flowering and tuberisation. His non-scientific interests include sport and Scottish art. |

Dr Barbara Davies Rae.
|
|
![]() |
Dr Rae says, “To me relaxation is travel and cooking. Invariably I enter the kitchen to wind down after a day’s creativity in the studio, but going to remote places on the planet in search of inspiration is the greater compulsion. I look for historical incidence and evidence that might make fine subject matter, and that means quiet study, surveying the locality and meeting the people there; from those pursuits issue good memories, food and wine. Design, from clothes to domestic interiors, the science and application of colour, its constituent elements of proportion, volume and negative space, aided by a memory for detail, probably best describe my ‘expertise.’“ |
Professor Stephen Robert Reid.
|
|
![]() |
Steve Reid’s research interests lie primarily in the area of impact mechanics, i.e. the design of safety-related structures and systems aimed at mitigating the effects of intense, dynamic loading, consequential on impact or blast. Examples include: structural concepts to improve the safety of vehicles; modelling the complex post-failure motion of high-pressure piping systems in nuclear power plants; and predicting the residual strength of impact-damaged, filament wound composite rocket launchers and pipes used in offshore applications. Generic problems associated with the dynamic elasto-plastic deformation of metal structures, the cracking and delamination of laminated fibre-reinforced polymer composites and the behaviour of novel materials (e.g. cellular materials) under high rate loading conditions have been a focus. |
Professor Randolph Harvey Richards.
|
