Core Team

Bhujyo Bhattacharya is a particle phenomenologist interested in the fundamental properties of matter and interactions. Together with his undergraduate students, he is currently working to uncover the properties of new particles that have been theorized to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem of our universe.

Shannon Timmons is an associate professor of chemical biology at LTU, where she also directs the Quest experiential learning program and serves as vice chair of the University Faculty Senate. Her teaching interests include developing innovative, inclusive approaches to engage students in organic chemistry and biochemistry courses.

Franco Delogu has a PhD in Cognitive Psychology and is an associate professor of psychology at Lawrence Technological University. His main interest is in multisensory perception and working memory. He is also interested in music processing and its interactions with action planning and other domains of cognition.

Suzanne Cleere, Assistant Professor of Nursing at Lawrence Technological University, holds a DNP from Madonna University with a focus on executive leadership grounded in caring science and is a certified Caritas Coach. With over 44 years of nursing experience and 15 years as an Executive Nurse Officer, she has led inter-professional teams in patient safety, quality care, and strategic planning.
