Leonidas was a DPhil student and Natural Motion Scholar in the Oxford Flight Group, and is now a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow researching song production in cicadas and their relatives, based in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.

Marco is a senior post-doc in the Oxford Flight Group, currently employed as Motion Capture Lab manager. His research is on bird flight, focusing on how birds perch and manoeuvre around and between obstacles. Marco has a broad interest in flying animals and the morphological adaptations that have evolved to achieve unique flight mechanics.
