2. Professor Abhinay Muthoo (Department of Economics) Abhinay is a Professor of Economics, and the Head (Chair) of the Department of Economics at the University of Warwick. His current research interests include the role of political institutions on economic performance, the economics of the family, conflict and bargaining, development economics and game theory. Abhinay has published research papers on a variety of topics in several top economics journals. He has supported the formation of the interdisciplinary experimental and behavioural group as well as the opening of the experimental laboratory at the Department of Economics.

3. Professor Graham Loomes (Department of Economics) Graham is a Professor of Economics. He works on the analysis of people’s preferences, particularly as they relate to decision making in the face of risk and uncertainty, with policy applications to health, safety and environmental issues. This has involved developing decision theory to allow for psychological and psychophysical factors. He is included in the ISI Highly Cited list. Graham’s work has appeared in the American Economic Review and other high-ranked economics journals. He is an initiator and executive coordinator of Experimental and Behavioural Forum and DR@W.

4. Ganna Pogrebna (Department of Economics) Ganna is a Research Fellow at the Department of Economics. Her work aims to develop quantitative models capable of describing and predicting individual and group behavior in static and dynamic situations in the face of risk and uncertainty (ambiguity). She is particularly interested in investigating the impact of imprecision and noise on decision making. She is involved in the organization of Experimental and Behavioural Forum and the coordination of DR@W.

10. Andrew Taylor (Department of Economics) Andrew is a Computer Support Officer at the Department of Economics. He is a developer of the online platform for decision making experiments (EXPERT). He leads a team of IT specialists who oversee the technical aspects of the work of the new experimental laboratory. Andrew is the author of the DR@W recruitment system customized interface created on the basis of the ORSEE. He is also the current Researchers’ Coordinator on DR@W.

11. Neil Stewart (Department of Psychology) Neil is a Professor of Psychology. He is a mathematical and experimental psychologist with expertise in judgement and decision making. Neil is interested in comparing models of choice under risk and in using eye tracking information to explain behaviour under risk and uncertainty. He has recently advised the government on reform of the credit card industry. Neil's work was recognised with the 2008 Experimental Psychology Society Prize and the 2006 Hillel Einhorn New Investigator Award. Neil has published in top psychological journals including Psychological Review, Psychological Science and Cognitive Psychology.

12. Sebastian van Strien (Mathematics Institute) Sebastian is a Professor of Mathematics. He is an expert in the field of dynamical systems. Recently he has been working on problems related to economics and game theory. He is a corresponding member of the Dutch Royal Academy of Science (KNAW) (from 1999) and managing editor of Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems. In 2007 he was awarded the Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowship. Sebastian has been involved in a number of interdisciplinary collaboration and published not only in the top mathematical journals but also in the top economics journals.

13. Thomas Nichols (Department of Statistics and Warwick Manufacturing Group) Thomas is a Principal Research Fellow and Head of Neuroimaging Statistics. He is an expert in the modelling and inference of neuroimaging data. In 2009 he received the Wiley Young Investigator Award by the Organization for Human Brain Mapping for his contributions to the field. He has formal training in both statistics and cognitive neuroscience. He uses advanced mathematical methods and computationally intensive empirically-driven methods to produce powerful and valid inference procedures. He has published multiple papers on the modelling of magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data.

14. Alan Chalmers (Warwick Manufacturing Group) Alan is a Professor of Visualisation in the Iternational Digital Laboratory. He has published over 190 papers in journals on perception in virtual environments, virtual archaeology, and HDR imaging. He is Honorary President of Afrigraph and a former Vice President of ACM SIGGRAPH. Together with SpheronVR, a high-precision German camera company, he was instrumental in the development of the world’s first HDR video camera, which was completed in July 2009.

15. Peter Hammond (Department of Economics) Peter isa Professor of Economics at the University of Warwick and an Emeritus Professor at Stanford University. He is an elected fellow of the Econometric Society (1977) and of the British Academy (2009). Recently (1st April 2007 - 31st March 2010) he served as a principle investigator for the Marie Curie project on Adapting to the Entirely Unpredictable. He has published numerous journal articles and book chapters in economics, including decision and game theory. Peter has been involved in a wide variety of interdisciplinary projects and is committed to try building bridges between befitting prescription and fitting description in models of behaviour.
