Dr Zara Ioannides is a senior lecturer at The University of Queensland and consultant neurologist at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. Dr Ioannides has been a member of the multiple sclerosis (MS) research team since 2014 and group leader since 2020.
Dr Ioannides graduated from Imperial College, University of London in 2006 with first class honours in a Bachelor of Science degree and a distinction in a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. After completing physician training in Australia, Dr Ioannides qualified as a clinical neurologist in 2014 and attained a Master of Philosophy in neuroscience in 2018.
Dr Ioannides is a neurologist in the MS clinic at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s hospital and a principal investigator in clinical research involving EBV-specific T cell therapy in MS. Her current research focuses on the roles of autoimmunity and EBV infection in the pathogenesis of MS and on novel treatments of MS.
Dr Ioannides is passionate about supporting people living with neurological diseases through research and clinical avenues.
Professor Trevor Ireland has research interests that span geochronology, isotope geochemistry through to cosmochemistry. The common link between these areas is the use of in situ microanalysis of geological and extraterrestrial samples by focused ion beam methodologies. He has current research topics aligned with the asteroid sample return missions to Ryugu and Bennu by the JAXA Hayabusa2 and NASA Osiris REx missions respectively; Samples of Ryugu are currently being prepared for distribution and analysis. Professor Ireland obtained his PhD at The Australian National University and following appointments at Washington University in St Louis, Max-Planck-Institut in Mainz, UCLA and Stanford, before he returned to lead the SHRIMP (Sensitive High Resolution Ion MicroProbe) Group at ANU. Professor Ireland has taken up an appointment to establish a SHRIMP analytical facility at UQ.
I am a Senior Lecturer in the UQ Business School at the University of Queensland. I research office spaces, hybrid work, collaboration, learning and professional work. I believe that workspaces like open-plan offices, hybrid work environments and healthcare buildings can have a positive impact on the experiences of professional workers, employees, customers and patients. At the same time, physical and virtual surroundings often influence outcomes in ways that are not anticipated. My research helps designers and managers to respond to the unintended consequences of workspace design in ways that improve the lives of space users.
My current research focuses on how managers and employees experience hybrid work. After experiencing enforced homeworking during the pandemic, many office-workers now expect the flexibility to choose how and when they work. However, evidence suggests that serendipitous encounters, collaboration, and informal learning are more effective when employees are co-located. I am interested in how managers respond to the tensions between flexibility and collaboration in a hybrid world. I also hope to learn about emerging technologies and practices that improve serendipity in online environments.
I am a founding member of the Next Generation Workspace Research Network, which brings together partners from industry and academia to provide evidence-based solutions to workspace problems.
I teach a large introductory management course with enrolments of up to 1000 students per semester. I help students relate management evidence to their own experiences through the Harvard Business School Everest Team and Leadership Simulation and engagement with events like the 2020 Bushfire Crisis. My teaching has been recognised with a UQ Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Teaching and Learning and a UQ Business School Award for enhancing the first-year student experience. I was included on the UQ Above and Beyond in 2020 Honour Roll for helping students to transition into university during the pandemic.
Dr Phillip Isaac is a mathematician interested in algebraic structures, particularly those related to quantum integrable systems.
Phillip received his PhD in mathematics in May 2001 from UQ. The title of his thesis was "Quasi Hopf superalgebras and their dual structures".
He worked as a JAVA programmer/cryptographer for about 9 months before undertaking a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Tokyo, Japan. His project was entitled "Symmetries in quantum spin chains".
After his return to Australia in September 2003, he began casual employment at UQ, working as a first year tutor and developing course materials.
His current research activities involve developing the constructive representation theory of Lie (super)algebras, quantum groups and related structures, and its utility in application, particularly to quantum integrable systems.
Dr. Ariel Isaacs specializes in the study of respiratory viruses, with a focus on highly pathogenic viruses like Nipah, Hendra, and SARS-CoV-2, as well as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). His research aims to advance the design of next-generation vaccines and antibody therapies to combat these emerging viral threats.
Using cryo-electron microscopy, Dr. Isaacs investigates the structures of viral glycoproteins, which play a crucial role in mediating viral entry into host cells. By analyzing these structures, he gains insights into the mechanisms by which viruses enter cells, enabling him to identify critical targets for therapeutic intervention. This understanding informs the design of vaccines and antibodies that can block viral entry, offering new strategies for antiviral treatment and prevention.
His work bridges structural biology with therapeutic development, contributing to the fight against both current and future respiratory viral pandemics. Currently, Dr. Isaacs is working to develop broad-spectrum antiviral solutions that can respond to a range of respiratory viruses, including those with high pathogenic potential. His research holds promise for advancing both vaccine and therapeutic strategies, ultimately improving global health outcomes and preparedness for future viral threats.
