Dr. Lisa Waidner, an Assistant Professor, has a Ph.D. from the College of Marine Science at the University of Delaware. Before she joined UWF in 2016, Waidner had the unique opportunity to work in several small biotechnology companies in the capacity of genetic engineering, phylogenetics, and directed evolution to improve biofuel and bioenergy-producing microorganisms.  Her academic mentors were Richard Karpel (UMBC, M.S. program), David Kirchman (Delaware, Ph.D. program), Thomas Hanson (Delaware, post-doctoral position), and co-mentors Robin Morgan and Joan Burnside (Delaware, post-doctoral fellowship). 
Her findings have been published in the Journal of Shellfish Research, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Virology, and Environmental Virology. Topics have included aspects of Marek’s disease, virioplankton populations, and crab populations near the mouth of the Delaware Bay. Waidner’s current research interests are in environmental microbiology, microbial ecology, and bioremediation in oceans, coastal waters, inland bays, and rivers. 
These studies include developing a better understanding of global elemental cycles, as well as ‘applied’ bioremediation research.  Her work uses model bacteria called the aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs (AAP), which are a diverse group of proteobacteria that may be involved in light-stimulated uptake of dissolved organic matter and of point-source pollution and legacy contaminants.  Cultured and uncultured AAP are used in molecular biological, microbiological, and ecological studies on this diverse group of freshwater, estuarine, and marine bacteria. Dr. Waidner has taught classes in Introduction to Bioinformatics and Environmental Genomics and is currently a UWF instructor for Genetics Lab.  She is now working with undergraduate students to characterize unique AAP bacteria from coastal and inland waters in and around the Pensacola Bay system.

Lipo is an archaeologist studying cultural change of human populations. He uses evolutionary theory as a means of developing methods for studying cultural transmission and the process of natural selection acting on cultural systems. His work has explored community patterning among prehistoric potters of the Mississippi Valley, patterns of inheritance among stone tools producers in North America and the conditions that led the populations of Easter Island (Rapa Nui, Chile) to construct their famous monumental statues. In addition to the study of artifact variability and geochronology, he has interests in remote sensing as a means of efficiently and non-destructively studying the archaeological record. This work includes the use of magnetometry, resistivity, conductivity, thermal imagery, photogrammetry, LiDAR and ground penetrating radar.

Dr. Joel Mason is Senior Scientist and Leader of the Vitamins and Carcinogenesis Team at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. He studies the cellular pathways by which 1-carbon nutrients, obesity, and the colonic microbiome alter the risk of cancer formation, and his team develops strategies based on this knowledge for the purposes of cancer prevention. Among Dr. Mason’s research accomplishments is the elaboration of cellular mechanisms by which abundant intake of folate protects against colon cancer, insights into how folate availability interacts with certain genetic traits and environmental factors in determining the risk of developing breast and colon cancer, and the demonstration—in both animal models and humans—that obesity incites inflammation and precancerous molecular changes in the lining of the colon. Dr. Mason has authored some of the most frequently cited papers in his field. He has been ranked as a Top Doctor in the U.S. (top 1% of all physicians) and top Cancer Doctor in the U.S. by Castle Connolly Limited, and is consistently rated by his peers as one of the top gastroenterologists in Boston, MA (Boston Magazine) and the U.S. as a whole (U.S. 麻豆传媒 & World Report). He is currently researching the combinations of pharmacologic, dietary, and microbiologic agents in the prevention of obesity-induced colon cancer. Dr. Mason is also a Professor of Medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine and Professor of Nutrition at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and is an Associate Editor of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

BIO 
Dr. Pavlo Buryi earned his Ph.D. in Economics, along with a Masters degree and Bachelors degree, from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Prior to joining Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, he held faculty positions at the University of Tampa, and Northern Illinois University. His primary field of expertise is the Economics of Innovation and Technological Change.
Dr. Buryi’s research focuses on the importance of product R&D and the role of public support in promoting such R&D. He developed a microeconomic model of product R&D to provide a theoretical basis for optimal choices of private investment and matching public support, used in widely popular “matching grant” state programs. Moreover, by introducing international competition into the basic theoretical framework of the matching game, he considers public support for product R&D as an optional policy of import substitution. Finally, his research provides an optimal structure of public R&D support.
