Philip Dawid
Philip Dawid is Emeritus Professor of Statistics of the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of Darwin College, Cambridge. He is a leading proponent of Bayesian statistics. Dawid has made fundamental contributions to both the philosophical underpinnings and the practical applications of Statistics.
His theory of conditional independence is a keystone of modern statistical theory and methods, and he has demonstrated its usefulness in a host of applications, including computation in probabilistic expert systems, causal inference, and forensic identification.
His book Probabilistic Networks and Expert Systems written jointly with Robert G. Cowell, Steffen Lauritzen, and David J. Spiegelhalter, received the 2001 DeGroot Prize from the International Society for Bayesian Analysis.
Alfredo Di Tillio
Degree in Economics from the Università degli Studi "G. D'Annunzio" of Pescara. Received his Master of Science with Distinction in Economics from University College London and a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.
Associate Professor at the Department of Economics and Research Fellow at IGIER (since 2014). Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics and Research Affiliate at IGIER (2005-2014). Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Texas at Austin (2004-2005).

Sherrilyn Roush
Sherrilyn Roush is an American philosopher and Professor of Philosophy in UCLA Department of Philosophy specializing in the philosophy of science and epistemology.
She joined King's College London in 2014 after accepting the inaugural Peter Sowerby Chair in Philosophy and Medicine. Previously, Roush was an assistant professor at the Department of Philosophy at Rice University (1999–2006). She was then an associate professor and then a full professor of philosophy at U. C. Berkeley. Starting winter quarter 2018, she is professor of philosophy at UCLA.
Eric-Jan Wagenmakers
Eric-Jan Wagenmakers is a mathematical psychologist. He is a professor at the Methodology Unit in the Department of Psychology at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). Since 2012, he has also been Professor of Neurocognitive Modeling: Interdisciplinary Integration at UvA's Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences. A noted expert on research methods in psychology, he has been highly critical of some dubious practices by his fellow psychologists, including Daryl Bem's research purporting to find support for the parapsychological concept of psi, and the tendency for psychologists in general to favor the publication of studies with surprising, eye-catching results. He has also been active addressing the replication crisis in psychology, including by helping to conduct a series of studies aimed at reproducing a 1988 study on the supposed effects of smiling on the perceived funniness of cartoons.
