I am interested in the post-medieval history of Central Asia, Iran, the Caucasus and Eastern Europe. In my first book, I examined the dynamics of political change in 16th- and 17th-century Transoxiana, and in my current project I am exploring patterns of social life in the Zarafshan valley in the decades immediately before and after the Russian conquest.

I specialise in the naval history of Britain and of other countries, from the 6th century to the present day. I am particularly interested in international comparisons between naval powers, and in internal connections between naval history and other approaches to national history.

My work concerns the dynamics and evolution of infections. I am interested in how quickly infections grow inside individuals, and also how fast they spread amongst individuals. One of my projects asks if we can design individualised treatment regimens for people with chronic viral infections. When infected people start treatment with anti-viral drugs the amount of virus in their blood falls dramatically. That fall can be measured by taking frequent blood samples, and the resulting curve contains much information about the infection process inside that person. In principle it should be possible to tailor the treatment for a patient based upon the shape of this curve during their first few days and weeks on anti-virals. To do so requires a good understanding of the population dynamics of the virus inside that person. My research group collaborates with clinicians and virologists to gain that understanding. In a second project we ask how immune-driven evolution of HIV is causing new variants to spread through the human population. This project requires simultaneous consideration of evolution inside people and infectious transmission between people. We have made new mathematical models of the epidemiology and evolution of HIV that let us combine diverse types of data to create a better understanding of how HIV evolved as it emerged to become an established human infection.

Amartya Sen taught Economics, Philosophy, History and Law at Harvard (as Thomas W. Lamont University Professor), authored An Uncertain Glory: India and Its Contradictions (Penguin and Princeton University Press) jointly with Jean Drèze, and published a number of articles in professional journals and in the public media.

Alexander Morrison won a Philip Leverhulme Prize in November 2012. In 2013 he published three new articles, and continued to work on a monograph on the Russian Conquest of Central Asia, making research trips to Kazakhstan and Georgia. In his capacity as President of the European Society for Central Asian Studies he organised the Society's 13th biennial conference in August 2013. He accepted the post of Professor of History at Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan, which he will take up in January 2014. As a result he is resigning his Fellowship with effect from 2 November 2013.

I am a psychologist interested in the evolution of human cognition.  My work explores how natural selection, learning, developmental and cultural processes combine to produce the mature cognitive abilities found in adult humans. I am especially interested in social cognition, including social learning, imitation, theory of mind and metacognition. 

I am a full time Judge of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, having been appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal in 2016 and a Member of the Privy Council in 2017. I sit in the Civil Division of the Court, hearing appeals and writing judgments on a wide variety of civil cases. I was previously a Judge of the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) from 2007 to 2016.
