Welcoming New Fellows
We would like to welcome the following individuals, who joined the Fellowship in 2024–25.
Professor Mohit Dalwadi
Fellow and Tutor in Applied Mathematics
Mohit Dalwadi, previously a Hooke Fellow at Oxford’s Mathematical Institute, joins Keble from UCL. He uses mechanistic modelling to understand a wide range of emergent physical and biological phenomena in areas including: biological signalling, carbon recycling, cell motility, cryopreservation, decontamination, synthetic biology, and tissue engineering. Many of these application areas fall under fluid mechanics, mathematical biology, and industrial mathematics, and involve collaborating with experimental and industrial partners.
Professor Robert House
Associate Professor and Non-Tutorial Fellow in Materials
Robert House is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials, Fellow of ZERO Institute at Oxford and Non-Tutorial Fellow of Keble College. His research interests are in novel sustainable energy materials, particularly for electrochemical energy storage, and in developing and applying advanced X-ray, neutron and muon scattering techniques to study ion diffusion, charge storage mechanisms and structure-function relationships in energy storage materials. His research group is actively engaged in materials discovery and development for next generation batteries, and works closely with a range of industry partners.
Professor Qiang Zhang
Research Fellow, AI in Cardiovascular Imaging
Qiang Zhang is a machine learning scientist at the RDM Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and NDPH Big Data Institute at Oxford, funded by a British Heart Foundation Intermediate Basic Science Research Fellowship. His research focuses on the integration of AI with cardiac health care by applying machine learning approaches to cardiovascular imaging, cardiac disease and epidemiology at big data scale. His current projects include making cardiovascular MRI scanning faster and more informative by enhancing the imaging with generative AI-based “virtual contrast”, as well as enriching large clinical and population studies with novel AI imaging biomarkers and machine-learning techniques.
Professor Sarah Ross
Visiting Fellow in English
Sarah Ross is Professor of English Literature at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington, where she is also Head of the School of English, Film, Theatre, Media and Communication, and Art History. Her work is on early modern anglophone literary culture, with a focus on poetry and poetics, women’s writing, politics, religion, and print and manuscript history. While at Keble, she is completing a book on Early Modern Women and the Poetry of Complaint (with Rosalind Smith and Michelle O’Callaghan), forthcoming with Oxford University Press in 2025.
Dr Emilie Capulet
Visiting Fellow in Music
Emilie Capulet, MA, MMus, PhD, is an award-winning concert pianist, writer, lecturer and musicologist. A sought-after lecture-recitalist and chamber musician, she performs worldwide, has recorded several critically acclaimed albums and has been broadcast on radio and television including BBC Radio 3, Sky News and France Musique. Recipient of a Leverhulme Research Fellowship, she is completing the first critical study and biography of the French-Corsican composer Henri Tomasi (1901–1971). Emilie studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and is the BMus (Hons) Programme Leader at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.
Emilie joined Keble College in December 2024. She will be curating several musical events bringing together different art forms, and will lead instrumental and vocal workshops with students during her Fellowship.
