David Newth received his honours degree in Applied Science in 1998 followed by a Ph.D. in 2002 in computer science from Charles Sturt University. He lectured at Charles Sturt University in complex systems, data modelling, and computer programming from 2003 to 2004. He began working as a research scientist with the CSIRO Centre for Complex Systems in 2004. His research interests include complex network, massive agent-based models calibrated by data, theoretical biology, and game theory.

John Finnigan received his B.Sc. from the University of Manchester in 1968 and his Ph.D. from the Australian National University in 1978. From 1989 to 1995 he was Head of the CSIRO Centre for Environmental Mechanics, and a Chief Research Scientist at the CSIRO Divisions of Land and Water and, later, Atmospheric Research. He is an Honorary Professor at the School of Geophysical Sciences, University of Edinburgh and a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union. Since 2001 he has been the Director of the CSIRO Centre for Complex Systems Science. His research interests include atmospheric science, from detailed fluid dynamics to the role of biosphere–atmosphere exchange in climate dynamics, and complex systems science. In particular he is engaged in research on the ways that human decision making and societal dynamics can be captured quantitatively in models of the earth's systems.
