Emily Moberg is a theoretical ecologist with degrees in environmental engineering and biological oceanography from MIT and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. She has worked on systems ranging from phytoplankton to fisheries and agriculture. She specializes in using optimization methods to better understand linkages between human behavior and natural resources.

Benjamin D. Trump is a governance scholar with specific interests in emerging technologies and complex systems. His work is global and comparative, including an ORISE Fellowship for the US Army Corps of Engineers in the United States, a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship the University of Lisbon (Portugal), and a Research Internship for the Institute of Occupational Medicine (Singapore). In 2016 Dr. Trump received his PhD from the University of Michigan in Health Services Organization and Policy.

Boris I. Yatsalo is Professor and Head of Information Systems dept. at the Institute of Intelligent Cybernetic Systems of the IATE National Research Nuclear University MEPHI, Obninsk-Moscow. He has been managing several international projects on developing models and computer systems for optimization of protective measures on radioactively contaminated lands. His thesis in 2004 was devoted to creation and application of GIS-based Decision Support Systems within remediation of contaminated territories. He has published more than 90 papers in Russian and international journals, book chapters and conferences. His interests include Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and management, specifically Fuzzy MCDA and Fuzzy Intelligent Systems.

Jeffrey Keisler is Professor of Management Science and Information Systems at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
