Student, University of Leeds

I'm currently a first-year student at the University of Leeds, studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering.  My research project is on Electric Vehicle charging point infrastructure planning, addressing a critical aspect of the transition to sustainable transportation. It seeks to optimize the design of EV charging infrastructure in public spaces. Through the evaluation of diverse charging configurations and the application of local/regional datasets, I will generate optimal location and capacity guidelines. These findings will aid local government authorities in establishing efficient and equitable public EV charging infrastructure.

Kassiopeia

Scholar, St Andrews

I am from London, UK I study Philosophy and English at St Andrews My research/leadership project is about the philosophy of ecology - specifically, ways of thinking about Nature and what that entails for human beings. I will be evaluating the two main alternative models to the 'anthropocentric' one (which considers human beings separate two and above Nature). These are the Holistic view - that we should dissolve the human/nature barrier and consider ourselves as parts of one entangled system - and the Othering view - which defines what is natural as what is non-human.  I chose this project because I believe that the Earth Systems Crisis we are experiencing is not merely technological, but deeply rooted in the way humans beings think about nature. I also chose it because I find the ideas involved to be ecstatically beautiful, and to deepen by experience of the world.  When I'm not studying, I like to write and read poetry, spend hours in art galleries, wander in forests, and dance the nights away. I also help run Refugee Action St Andrews, as Vice President.  I'd love to connect with someone who is interested in philosophy, poetry, or nature, wherever they may be.

Silvia Fernandez Mulero

Medical Director of Perioperative Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi

I am Silvia Fernandez Mulero. I am the Medical Director of Perioperative Medicine at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s #1 Hospital according to Newsweek Magazine 2023’s Ranking. There, I lead a phenomenal team of doctors, nurses and allied professions that serve our patients with the highest quality and most innovative approach so they have a safe and smooth surgery and recovery.  An Anaesthesiologist, Critical Care and Pain Doctor by training I have more than 20 years of experience in big and small hospitals and companies, both in the private and public sectors, in Spain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.  I was born in Barcelona where I completed my medical training in Universidad de Barcelona; then I completed a major in Statistics for Medical Research and a PhD in Medicine. I am honoured and delighted to have been awarded the Women in Business Laidlaw Scholarship for the Executive MBA program at London Business School. I am a very curious and analytical problem-solver that can lose track of time researching and collecting data about the challenge at hand, until I get an informed, efficient and elegant solution.  I am straightforward, and I value simplicity and honesty in communication.  I am attracted to smart and forthcoming people that challenge my ideas and speak their minds. I am a commonalities-finder, a born connector, and a believer in that there is no better way to achieve a bond than having a good conversation over food. Because I have always loved to teach in any capacity (peers, junior doctors, patients and the public in general - ask my family...), I have held academic roles such Anaesthesia Residency Program Co-Director and Clinical Associate Professor of Anaesthesiology at Case Western Reserve University. My goal is to contribute to a healthier society by modelling the so much needed healthcare system's paradigm shift, so it successfully sorts the funding, technological and human resources challenges that it is facing worldwide. During the Executive MBA program I have found a passion and a vehicle to do just that: influencing the shift healthcare systems need through innovation. My partners and I will establish ourselves as regional experts in sourcing, nurturing and funding high-impact health-tech ventures combining our expertise and the collective strength of a savvy body of investors deeply rooted in healthcare in the AMENA region to shape the future of health. Looking forward to connecting and growing together!
