completed my Bachelor of Science (Honours). My project focused on cardiovascular development in children of mothers who had asthma during pregnancy. My project is a step towards improving long term health outcomes for children of mothers who had asthma during their pregnancy. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e449f1725e25ad9902c1e0/1491357972185/Jacobo+Asorey+2017-5.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Jacobo Asorey Barreiro I am a post-doctoral research fellow at the School of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Queensland, working in the Astrophysics group, that I joined on September 2016. I am a cosmologist, trying to understand how the Universe evolves with time and how gravity works at cosmological scales. My main research consists on study how matter clusters in the Universe and how foreground galaxies change the images from background galaxies through gravitational lensing. The positions and images of millions of galaxies are gathered using multiple telescopes, isome of them in Australia, in a joint effort by international collaborations. I have a Bachelor of Physics from the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain) and a Master and a PhD in Physics from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (Spain) and previously I have been a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e44f432994ca997ddb39d7/1491373946767/Sean+Johnson-3.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Sean Johnston My passion for materials engineering is based on a simple truism: everything is made of something. From aircraft to nanoprobes, and everything in between, materials engineers are facilitating change around the world in almost every field imaginable. My work involves utilising new and innovative biomaterials (predominately magnesium) to improve a range of medical implants and devices. I am also a staunch advocate for STEM education and communication, with younger students as well as the community more broadly. By demystifying STEM and the people who work in it, I believe we can work to involve more people in the ongoing pursuit of knowledge and innovation. It is my hope that by engaging students early we can show them that they have the power to change the world, and (I hope) help give them the courage or desire to do so. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e4517986e6c0ec1dd05be6/1491358212805/Ambika+Murthy-2.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Ambika Murthy Ambika is aPh D student at Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of Queensland. Her Ph D project focuses on understanding the interactions between innate immune system and uropathogenic E. coli. She loves inquiry based science teaching and learning and passionate about imparting STEM education to public. She is one of the IMB science ambassadors since 2016, communicating science in layman languauge with high school and university students. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e4525129687ffa25754ad6/1491363428951/Tim+Dadamo+-2.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Tim D'Adamo I’m a first year PhD student, working at The University of Queensland’s Smart Machines Group. The goal of my research is to give robots an understanding of what the world around them looks like and how it is changing. Once complete, my research will allow robots to actively plan how they interact with the world around them. Further increasing the possibilities of what robotics may achieve. We live in a world where robots are all around us, helping us achieve our daily tasks. I want to live in a world where these robots are “smart”. Where they understand the world in which they operate and can make intelligent decisions based on what they see. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e454a1c534a5264e520033/1491359059632/John+Klaric-1.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Jonathan Klaric After completing undergraduate degrees in theoretical physics and mathematics, Jonathan was a PhD candidate in applied mathematics at The University of Queensland before starting at XP Solutions as a mathematician and numerical engine developer. The main focus of his research was studying diffusion problems in complex networks; investigating the mathematics that models how gases spread out on giant, complicated pipe networks, and looking at how that related to other problems such protein folding, the spread of epidemics or traffic routing. While in academia, Jonathan also worked on a variety of research projects such as computer imaging, temporal wormholes, mathematical epidemiology and a project on Galactic dust extinction with NASA. Jonathan also has a role as the Resident Scientist at UQ’s Wonder of Science program, and his current main research interests include optimization and the use of Monte Carlo methods in water engineering, diffusion models and approximation theory. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e45580f5e2312cc94600b3/1491363430064/Jeremy+Brooks-5.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Jeremy Brooks My lab looks at using stem cell technology and gene therapy for correcting autoimmune and allergic disease. We’ve been able to prevent the establishment of, or reversing existing, autoimmune and allergic disease by stem cell transplantation. We transduce stem cells with viruses carrying the correct gene sequence for a protein to be expressed in our patients, so after the transplantation of those stem cells takes place, the immune cells in the body that would normally cause autoimmune or allergic disorders are purged from the body. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e457daebbd1a24417fb97c/1491372381150/Amy+Chan-3.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Amy Chan I am a PhD student at the University of Queensland.

Her work aims to identify what changes within the red blood cell membrane cause the cells to become stiffer and change shape, which makes them less efficient at transporting oxygen through the body. She hopes that over the long-term her research will contribute to improving the quality of red blood cells stored prior to transfusions. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e459f6ebbd1a24417fd828/1517802698078/Amie+Khosla-1.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Amie Khosla Amie is PhD candidate at the University of Queensland in the field of condensed matter physics.

I’m Sam, and I work with spiders, sheep and poo! People usually ask me if I’m afraid of spiders, and the answer is… yes! However, I’ve learned to appreciate their amazingly complex venoms and I’m using these venoms to create new treatments for drug-resistant worms that are devastating the Australian sheep industry. These worms feed on blood in the sheep’s stomach, and cause the sheep lots of pain and can even be fatal in a matter of days! Outside the lab, my interests are in using science communication and education to inspire the next generation of scientists and all students to become globally minded leaders, with critical thinking skills and a hunger to change this world for the better! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e45c2d440243062e72e94a/1491371354831/Anat+Paz-1.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Anat Paz I am a PhD student at the University of Queensland, researching bioremediation strategies for iron mines, mostly by studying different plants and bacteria. Previous research projects I have worked on focused on the chemistry aspects of organic contaminants in soil, with a demonstrated history of working in the environmental consulting industry. I have been lecturing in various programs and courses from teaching primary and high school to debate coaching. I’ve taught many subjects (geography, history and even ethics) but I always prefer teaching science classes. Introducing cool scientific phenomena for kids and young adults always gets my exited and often I find that I learn a lot from these classes as well. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e45e61197aea34f54568a8/1491363443449/Priscilla+Hong-1.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Priscilla Hong Priscilla is a recent PhD graduate from the University of Queensland.

My research interests are in algebra, geometry and number theory. I first became interested in this area of mathematics in high school through the story of Fermat's Last Theorem (which took over 350 years to solve)! Although there are not many 'real-world' applications of the things I am interested in now, I also have a degree in electrical engineering. Electrical engineering is a great way to see maths in action. It's amazing to see how maths lets you build complex electronic circuits, wirelessly communicate, as well as program computers to control these things. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e461ef15d5db35557e0240/1491363445304/Anthony+Arnold-1.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Anthony Arnold I am a computer scientist who likes to make computers go faster.

Ecosystem services are the benefits we get from ecosystems. So this includes things like food, air quality regulation, timber, and even recreation and climate regulation. However, as we continue to develop landscapes the amount and way that these services are provided to humans is changing. My research will help identify the factors in developed landscapes that are having a positive and negative supply on ecosystem service supply, and how different policies and management actions affect them. For example, determining which urban planning scenarios support the most biodiversity, and other environmental services.

I am fascinated by all STEM fields which is why I chose a field that includes biology, physics, chemistry and engineering. I've been taking apart things and (sometimes) putting them together since I was a kid, this is how I knew I wanted to be an engineer. My passion for the science field blossomed when I moved to Australia when I was 10, and started star gazing and becoming an amateur biologist (i.e. collecting bugs). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e480416b8f5bebdb390716/1517802852119/Maddie+Castles-1.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Madelaine Castles Growing up I have always had an affinity for the natural world and an interest in understanding natural processes. This interest lead me to pursue a Bachelor of Science and I was originally enrolled in environmental science stream. As fate would have it, I took 1 first year zoology course and have been hooked on understanding animal behaviour ever since. I spent a bit of time studying baboon social behaviour and am now completing a PhD on the social organisation of giraffe through the University of Queensland. My fieldwork for this project took me to the beautiful Etosha National Park in Namibia where I spent my days watching the giraffes among the other African fauna. I hope that findings from my project will help conservation efforts for Africa’s gentle giants and give us some insight into the evolution of social behaviour. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e4811c29687ffa257790d4/1491370566984/Deborah+Akilotan-1.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Deborah Akinlotan Morenikeji Deborah Akinlotan is a current doctorate student in the area of biomathematics, School of Mathematical Sciences at Queensland University of Technology.

My research examines how children and chimpanzees problem-solve using tools. Ever since childhood I have been fascinated by how other animals think and behave, and have loved observing how they solve problems in their environment. By examining how children and chimpanzees use tools and solve problems, I can make inferences about what is similar and what is different about the way they think. I am really interested in all fields of science, particularly biology and zoology. I think its extremely important that children get the chance to experience science in a hands-on context – our world is fascinating and I’m excited to help kids develop a curiosity about it through this program! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55791f69e4b00b0725cf1704/58e42bee6a496317e708c3c6/58e48aed1e5b6c3e980c0d8c/1491373898328/Janie+Hoormann-2.jpg Young Science Ambassadors - Janie Hoormann Dr. Janie Hoormann is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Queensland.

I have always been a science nerd. As a kid, I constantly asked "why?". Why is the sky blue? Why don't snakes have legs? Why can't I have cake for dinner? I had an unquenchable curiosity for the world around me. I love science because it can answer so many of our questions, while leaving us with many more so that we are continuously expanding our knowledge. I'm still asking questions now, but the ones I'm working on don't yet have answers - I've got to discover them through my own research!

When I'm not busy doing field or lab work, I like to rock climb, read fantasy books, and watch sci-fi movies. http://www.wonderofscience.com.au/human-body daily 0.75 2015-07-09
