Keynote Speakers
Prof. Peter Bossaerts
University of Cambridge
Peter Bossaerts is Leverhulme International Professor of Neuroeconomics in the Faculty of Economics at the University of Cambridge and a leading pioneer of experimental finance and neuroeconomics. His research combines decision theory, finance, and neuroscience to study how people make decisions under risk and uncertainty, and how computational complexity shapes those decisions. He has published widely in economics, finance, and neuroscience journals and is a Fellow of the Econometric Society, the Society for the Advancement of Economic Theory, and the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.
Prof. Lauren Willis
Loyola Marymount University
Lauren E. Willis is Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Research at LMU Loyola Law School, Los Angeles (Loyola Marymount University), and a leading scholar of consumer law and policy. Her work examines how consumer psychology, market structure, and legal rules interact, with particular attention to consumer finance, disclosure, and privacy. She is widely known for her influential critiques of financial education, mandated disclosures, and “nudge”-based regulation as tools for protecting consumers, and has held visiting appointments at institutions including Harvard Law School.
Prof. Michael Muthukrishna
London School of Economics
Michael Muthukrishna is Associate Professor (Professor in some roles) of Economic Psychology in the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His research uses cultural evolution, economic psychology, and data science to understand how humans cooperate, innovate, and build complex societies, and how these insights can inform public policy. He is the author of A Theory of Everyone: Who We Are, How We Got Here, and Where We’re Going, which develops a unified framework for human behaviour, culture, and social change, and he serves on the board of the International Behavioural Public Policy Association.
