Jessie Yuill

(South Africa)

Stellenbosch University

BSc (Hons) Biodiversity   and Ecology

Jessie Yuill, from a   small coastal town in South Africa where she grew up in a loving home with   her grandparents and sister. She has always had a tenacious curiosity when it   comes to the environment and as a result, she has taken up many outdoor   sports throughout her life such as kitesurfing, wakeboarding, scuba diving   and rock climbing. She was brought up to respect and love nature and have   been privileged enough to pursue this love in her degree, Biodiversity and   Ecology at Stellenbosch University. This foundation has fed her passion for   pursuing ways of ensuring ecosystem resilience and sustainability in the face   of the predicted effects of climate change. Within this, she believes that public   awareness and education play a key role in conserving biodiversity across the   globe, and as such, she has a strong zeal for the involvement of people with   her projects. Additionally, in her spare time she enjoys keeping up to date   in other fields of research such as nutritional health and for the moment her   hobbies include tennis, flute, reading and surfing.

Aaron Tang (Austrilia)

Aaron is a PhD Scholar in   international climate politics and governance at the Australian National   University. His research explores the philosophy, politics, and governance of   climate

engineering technologies   (technologies that draw down greenhouse gases from the atmosphere or reflect   solar energy away from Earth). Aaron’s PhD investigates the underlying   desirable or undesirable ‘visions’ of climate futures that are present in   climate engineering discussions. He also explores the creation of governance   in the present for technologies that only exist in the future.

XU Qinyi

(China)

University of Cambridge

PhD candidate, Department   of Land Economy & Department of Politics and International Studies

Her research spans global   environmental governance, environmental policy and economics to   comparative/international political economy. Her current PhD research is on   “role formation”, “role distribution” and “role fragmentation” in   international environmental policy-making. Its main focus is to establish the   role model to measure and predict the changing roles between state actors in   climate change negotiation and within each actors’ policy-making processes.   It explains the factors that cause the transition of roles and how such   dynamic affect and interact with the issue of compliance in climate   agreements. She also works on research topics such as: Global value chain and   the trade and environment nexus; Embedded market power and global environmental   governance; Policy space with a new green dilemma: tracing renewable energy   development in emerging market economies.

Qinyi is the recipient of   the Cambridge Trust scholarship for her PhD studies. She holds an MPhil in   Environmental policy from the University of Cambridge. Prior to that, she   obtained her B.A. in Politics and Public Administration (with B.A.   Management-Leo KoGuan Scholar; Xinhe Scholar) at the School of Government,   Peking University.

Emma Saraff Marcos   (Spain&US)

The University of Tokyo,   Global Studies Program

Emma Saraff Marcos,   currently a graduate student at the University of Tokyo (Global Studies   program), where she is working on a thesis about global distributive justice   in the Anthropocene. She is interested in the concept of “transition” in the   context of sustainability; more specifically, she is interested in ideas such   as implementing the circular economy, understanding contemporary energy   transition, and developing urban communities that are based on the bedrock of   sustainable practice. Her thesis work aims to synthesize her interest in   future-oriented sustainability with the notion of justice; that is, how do we   ensure a global sustainable future is equitable and accessible?

Before enrolling in her   current program, she worked in rural development in Andhra Pradesh, India,   where she observed firsthand the complicated relationship between Western   notions of modernity, community-building in the Global South, and the threat   of climate change. She grew up in a multicultural household, and lived in   England, Spain, and the United States during her early childhood. As such,   her approach to heritage has never been rooted to one place, and she   considers many countries and cultures to be “home.” At present, she lives in   Tokyo, Japan, and hope to remain there for a few more years.

PhD at IISC

Anand Narayana Sarma, a   final year PhD student at the Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at   the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. After completing his bachelor’s   and master’s degree in electronics and communication with a specialization in   optics, He is currently working for his PhD degree, carrying out research on   the effects of atmospheric aerosols on optical wireless communication systems.   His interest in atmospheric science started while carrying out his Master’s   thesis work on the design of an elastic lidar for studying atmospheric   aerosols. The interdisciplinary nature of the work and the public interest   and outreach makes this field exciting. He is looking forward to carrying out   more research in atmospheric science and its implications in daily life.   After obtaining his PhD degree, he wishes to join academics to carry out both   research and teaching together.

Gen Hayakawa (Japan)

The University of Tokyo

School of Civil   Engineering

Gen Hayakawa is a   fourth-year undergraduate at the University of Tokyo. He is majoring in Civil   Engineering and my research topic for bachelor thesis is the impact of   ride-hailing services on the use of mass transit in Asian developing   countries: case study of Phnom Penh. Although his bachelor thesis is not   directly connected to climate change, but he is going to conduct research on   the impact of climate change on water resource for master thesis. Therefore,   he is strongly interested in climate change. In the future, he wants to   contribute to the development of advancing countries. On the other hand, he   has not decided how he will tackle this problem. One option is through   climate change, for developing areas are more susceptible than other part of   the world to the problems caused by climate change such as uneven   distribution of water resource. He hopes he can get the clue to his future   career during this stay.

Kotone Kagami (Japan)

University of Tokyo

School of Environmental   Science

I’m Japanese but spent my   entire childhood (up to graduating high school) living in Bangkok, Thailand.   I am currently a second-year undergraduate student and haven’t had a chance   to dive into my field of interest which is sustainable building and design. I   am currently fascinated by the climate change impacts of the buildings we   create and have been looking into the impacts of embodied carbon in building   materials rather than the environmental impact of operating infrastructure. This   passion most likely stems from my hobby of product designing. I have built a   habit in researching environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing   processes as I ensure that all of my products and installations are ethically   and sustainably made. In addition to all this, I am extremely active (played   for varsity football, track, swimming, rugby, softball, X-country etc.) and I   currently represent my University’s Boxing Team as the only female athlete.   Oh, I also enjoy puzzles (Sudoku, jigsaw puzzles, mazes etc.)!

Habiba Ahut Daggash   (Nigeria)

Imperial College London

Ph.D. in Sustainable   Energy Futures

I am a third year PhD   student at the Centre for Environmental Policy, and part of the Science and   Solutions for a Changing Planet Doctoral Training Partnership (SSCP DTP) at   the Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment, funded by the   Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC). I am interested in the   implications of climate change mitigation objectives on energy system   transitions, within the context of geopolitical and bio-geophysical   constraints. I completed both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at St John's   College, University of Oxford where I specialised in chemical engineering.   She is also the past Chair of IChemE Energy Centre's Future Leaders Group and   served on the board of the centre.

I am from Borno state in   Nigeria, where climate change has contributed to a decadelong conflict, as   land and water resources become increasingly scarce. My passion for climate   change research stems from my desire to develop solutions that will help   people in vulnerable regions like my hometown to mitigate the devastating   risks of climate change.
