Peter Bossaerts received a licentiate and doctorandus degree in applied economics from the University of Antwerp in Belgium. After coursework towards a Master's in statistics at the Free University Brussels, he changed to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he finished his PhD in Management (Finance) under Richard Roll.
His first appointment as assistant professor was at Carnegie Mellon University's Graduate School of Industrial Administration. In 1990, Peter Bossaerts moved to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he was promoted to become Professor of Finance, and ultimately the William D. Hacker Professor of Economics and Management. He was also Executive Officer for the Social Sciences and Chair of the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Peter Bossaerts is presently Swiss Finance Institute Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), chairing the Laboratory for Decision Making under Uncertainty. While his research and publications have encompassed many areas of theoretical and empirical finance, his present work is focused on experimental finance. This work borrows tools from many relevant fields, such as decision theory, general equilibrium theory, game theory, cognitive psychology, and decision neuroscience. His work has been published in top journals in finance, economics and neuroscience.
Peter Bossaerts has taught undergraduate, MBA, PhD and executive classes at various places across the world. He is or has been on the board of many academic journals, such as the Review of Finance, the Review of Financial Studies, and Mathematical Finance.

Mathieu d'Acremont received his Master of Advanced Studies in Clinical Psychology (1999) and a certificate in Cognitive Neuroscience (2000) at the University of Geneva. He obtained a PhD in Psychology (2005) and a Master in Statistics (2008) at the same university. Before joining the EPFL, Mr. d'Acremont was working as a senior researcher at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences in Geneva. He conducted studies on impulsive behavior and decision-making in youth. In 2007, he was invited at the Brain and Creativity Institute (University of Southern California) to work on an fMRI study of decision-making. His current research topics are the neural correlates of risk prediction in the human brain and the modeling of decision-making in reinforcement learning tasks and economic games.

Anjali Nursimulu graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2003, with a Bachelor (with Honours) in Economics. She holds a Master's degree (Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies) in Mathematical Economics and Econometrics from the University of Toulouse, France, where she also completed the European Diploma in Advanced Quantitative Economics while pursuing her initial research interests in Behavioral Economics. She later worked as a part-time Lecturer in Economics at the University of Mauritius for one semester. Prior to joining EPFL, Anjali served as a research assistant to Prof. Dr. Thorsten Hens at the University of Zurich, where she became involved in Finance and Neuroscience. Her current research objective is to map and model brain activations that underlie decision-making under uncertainty with a focus on trading operations in financial markets.

Ms. Elise PAYZAN-LE NESTOUR Elise Payzan-Le Nestour is an alumni of the Ecole Normale Superieure of Paris. In 2002-2003 she completed a Master's degree in Economics, with a major in Corporate Finance, from the Paris-Jourdan Sciences Economiques (PSE) Research Center and graduated from the Ecole National de la Statistique et des Administrations Economiques (ENSAE) as a statistician-economist engineer. She then spent the 2003-2004 academic year as a visiting student at the Department of Economics of Princeton University, where she discovered Neuroeconomics. Before transferring to the EPFL to pursue her PhD in Neurofinance under the supervision of Prof. Peter Bossaerts, Elise was a PhD student in Finance at the London School of Economics (LSE) for two years.
Elise's current research interests are related to aspects of meta-learning in trading under uncertainty (in particular the arbitrage between distinct learning modules, depending on the nature of uncertainty), the exploration/exploitation trade-off in trading under uncertainty, and "implicit learning" in trading.
