Andrew Robinson is a Reader and Associate Professor in applied statistics, and director of the Centre of Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis (CEBRA), at the University of Melbourne. He works on biosecurity at national borders, inspection surveillance systems and performance metrics for regulatory inspectorates. Terry Walshe is a Decision Scientist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. His research deals with the intersection of technical and social dimensions of marine science and marine management. Mark A. Burgman is Professor of Risk Analysis and Environmental Policy at the Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College London. He works on ecological modelling, conservation biology and risk assessment. Mike Nunn is a Research Program Manager at the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). He has particular interests in epidemiology, risk analysis, emerging diseases, zoonoses, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, and strategic foresight.
