About the Author

Marcin Czupyrina is an associate professor in the Financial Markets Department of Cracow University of Economics, Poland. He holds a Ph.D. in Quantitative Methods in Economics from the Warsaw School of Economics. He obtained a Marie Curie Scholarship in 2004 (Centre for operations research and econometrics, Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium).

His research concentrates on decisions under risk and uncertainty, behavioural aspects of decision process with the application to the financial markets as well as on microstructural aspects of the markets.

Bogumił Kamiński is an associate professor at SGH Warsaw School of Economics, Poland, and adjunct professor at Ryerson University, Canada. His research fields are computational social science and operations research. He is an expert in design and analysis of simulation experiments and high-performance computing using the Julia language.

Harko Verhagen is a professor at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences of Skholm University where he also defended his PhD. He is author of over 110 peer-reviewed conference and journal papers as well as editor of several books. His research addresses norms and other social science concepts for artificial agents, social aspects of computer gaming, agent-based social simulation, and ethics and AI design and development.
