Michael Kearney
Image Description
Michael Kearney is an ecologist, renowned for his transformative work in forecasting the future and fate of biodiversity through his development of mechanistic species distribution modelling. The approach enables researchers in agriculture, conservation and the biology of human and animal disease vectors to forecast accurately how species are distributed now and into the future. In contrast to other approaches, its mechanistic nature enables projections for the novel environments that changing climates will bring. Kearney’s work has transformed biodiversity forecasting globally, delivering significant benefits to fundamental and applied biology and the wellbeing of people and the ecosystems we rely on.

Jose Polo
Image Description
Jose Maria Polo is a biochemist and stem cell biologist who has made seminal contributions to our understanding of the mechanism underpinning how cells can be changed into other cell types, known as cellular reprogramming. By developing and combining advanced cellular models and genomic techniques with sophisticated computational approaches, he has been a major force in innovating and advancing the reprogramming, embryo modelling and stem cell fields. Polo has led his field at the highest level internationally and nationally, and his integrated vision of science has driven the translation and expansion of reprogramming advances into additional research areas and industry.

Hrvoje Tkalčić is a geophysicist who has made fundamental contributions to the study of the Earth’s interior, notably the Inner Core using an innovative approach to detect shear wave propagation and so demonstrate the solidity of the innermost part of the Earth. His breakthrough work in the understanding of the seismic correlation wavefield opened the way for global and planetary seismology to illuminate the interiors of the Earth and other planets. He has also made significant contributions to seismic source studies, including tectonic and volcanic earthquakes, explosions and marsquakes, and to the development of analysis techniques for seismograms with effective treatment of uncertainty in matching observations and theoretical predictions.

Shahar Mendelson

Shahar Mendelson
Image Description
Shahar Mendelson's research has led to ground-breaking progress in the understanding of theoretical data science. He discovered that key questions in data science are actually natural problems in high-dimensional geometry. He then used this geometric interpretation to solve fundamental questions in theoretical machine learning, sparse recovery in signal processing and high dimensional statistics. The machinery he developed has also resulted in the solution of several significant open problems in pure mathematics, mainly in asymptotic geometric analysis and the asymptotic theory of random matrices.
