Daniel Nuttall
Student
I am studying for a Master’s degree in Defence, Development and Diplomacy at Durham University. Most of my study has been focused on Libya and the Middle East, including work with a firm called Intelligence Fusion where I remotely monitor , current events in Jordan, and I will soon be travelling to Bosnia with a group from my course to look at both the present political situation there and the historical legacy of the war and genocide that occurred there in the 1990s. In September, having finished my thesis, I will be working for a consultancy firm based in Westminster (Q5 Partners if that is of interest). For the time being, I spend my spare time rowing on the river in Durham.
Reader at School of Psychology, University of Lincoln
I am a reader at the University of Lincoln with a background in behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology. I graduated in my home country, Italy, and moved to UK for my postgraduate studies. I joined Lincoln 11 years ago. My research focuses on the causes and consequences of competition and cooperation. I have investigated these topics for the last 15 years, working with different macaque species in Japan, Morocco and Indonesia.

Nigel Allinson, MBE, ScD, is the Distinguished Professor of Image Engineering at the University of Lincoln. Currently he leads a team building probably the most complex medical imaging instrument ever conceived. It will improve the accuracy of proton beam therapy in the treatment of cancer – work that combines the search for the Higgs Boson and your mobile’s camera. Nigel also developed the Police forensics system that sends fingerprints straight from a crime scene to a remote fingerprint bureau. He also helped to develop the technology that allows you to watch videos on the internet.
