Sala is the Julie A. Wrigley, Regents, and Foundation Professor and the Founding Director of the Global Drylands Center at ASU.

Pavlic (electrical eng., computer sci., & behavioral ecology) uses ecological thinking to enhance design of engineered complex adaptive systems and engineering tools to find new perspectives on biological form and function.

Wilson is a computational evolutionary biologist studying sex-biased processes including human and non-human health and disease.

Sterner uses methods from philosophy and social science to investigate how knowledge systems can better address wicked problems. His current projects focus on biodiversity data, modeling, governance, and philosophy.

Daniels studies the logic of collective behavior in living systems, using real-world data to build predictive models at the scale of individual interactions, and abstracting away from these toward general principles.
