Our research investigates the role of brain regions such as the frontal, medial temporal, and parietal lobes in human memory.
This work involves inter-relating cognitive hypotheses with evidence from functional neuroimaging of healthy volunteers and from examining the effects of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and normal aging, on memory abilities.
Research in the laboratory uses a number of methods, including behavioural studies, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electrophysiology (MEG/EEG), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Research interests in the use of Oscillatory Flow Mixing (OFM) Technology for photo-chemical reactors and bio-diesel production. The initial thrust of our research was directed towards improving wet oxidation processes for organic wastes, the work has now broadened out to other photochemical processes.

Research interests: studying people by living with them under the same conditions - trying to understand how and why their world makes sense (to them). Subject-wise, Mark's research focuses specifically on: (1) The experience of being human in high-performance environments; (2) the human imagination of human importance in strategy; (3) the possibility and scope of strategic choice; and (4) causal explanations of why things are as they are and not otherwise in a world of (mostly) unique events

Dr van Wyhe is a historian of science, currently based at the University of Cambridge, whose recent research has challenged the long-held view that Darwin held back or kept his evolutionary theory secret for 20 years. He has also led the restoration of Darwin's Christ's College rooms [click here to see the restoration in progress and here to see their final appearance as photographed by Allison Maletz]. Dr van Wyhe is committed to sharing Darwin's work, scholarship and the history of science with the wider public.

Michael read classics at Trinity College, Cambridge. After a year studying art history and comparative literature at Harvard, he returned to Cambridge and completed his PhD in 2006. His doctoral thesis was concerned with the interaction between visual and literary cultures in Graeco-Roman antiquity and was awarded the Hellenic Society prize in 2007. An expanded version of the thesis was published by Cambridge University Press in 2009, under the title Image and Text in Graeco-Roman Antiquity.
Michael's research and teaching straddle a variety of fields within classics, and indeed beyond. His first academic book, co-authored with Nigel Spivey and written in close consultation with the Getty Villa in Malibu, was published in 2004 (Panorama of the Classical World, Thames and Hudson:2nd edition 2008): it has since been translated into six languages. Two other book projects will be published in 2010: The Art of the Body: Antiquity and its Legacy (I.B Tauris and Oxford University Press) and The Art of Art History in the Graeco-Roman World (edited with Verity Platt, and appearing as a special issue of Arethusa). He is also working on an edited volume on Framing the Visual in Greek and Roman Art (again with Verity Platt and forthcoming with Cambridge University Press), a monograph on the so-called Iliac Tablets (The Iliad in a Nutshell: Visualising Epic on the Tabulae Iliacae), and two books on Philostratus the Elder's Imagines and the history of the imagination (both co-written with Jaś Elsner).
Michael's work frequently takes him to Italy: in fact his earliest (and most enjoyable!) book was a cityguide to Rome, published by St Martin's Press in 2003.
(Michael currently holds an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship in Germany and is on leave from Christ's: he is affiliated to the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich and the Winckelmann-Institut für klassische Archäologie, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. He is due to return to Christ's in the Autumn of 2010.)

Research interests in in nineteenth- and twentieth-century French poetry and painting, particularly the encounter of Word and Image in nineteenth- and twentieth-century verbal and visual arts, theories on signification and the 'poetic', psychoanalytic and pre-Freudian theories of identity and creativity, French literary and artistic ideas on the resistance of the colonial other to fixed interpretations. She is currently exploring these interests through the nineteenth and twentieth century's fascination with the notion of the 'ideogram'. She is the author of articles on Henri Michaux and of a recent monograph, Henri Michaux: Poetry, Painting, and the Universal Sign (OUP, 2005).
