Basilio de Bragança Pereira, DIC and PhD (Imperial Collage), is Professor Emeritus of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) where he has worked since 1970, in the Institute of Mathematics, Postgraduate School of Engineering (COPPE) and School of Medicine. Associate Professor at the Institute of Mathematics (1970–1989 and 1994–1997), Research Professor at COPPE (1970–present), Titular Professor of Applied Statistics at COPPE (1989–1994, retired), Titular Professor of Biostatistics at the School of Medicine (1998–2015, retired). Since 2018, he is a courtesy researcher at National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC).

Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, PhD and DSc (Cambridge), is Fellow of Royal Society known as C R Rao. He is Professor Emeritus at Pennsylvania State University and Research Professor at the University at Buffalo. Rao was awarded the US National Medal of Science in 2002 and the Guy Medal of the Royal Statistical Society in 1965, Silver, and in 2011, Gold. He is one of the top 10 Indian scientists of all time. He received 38 honorary doctoral degrees from universities in 19 countries. He is well-known for Crame´r–Rao inequality, Rao–Blackwellization, Rao distance, Fisher–Rao metric, among other important concepts introduced by him.

Fábio Borges de Oliveira, Dr.-Ing. (TU Darmstadt), is Professor at National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC) where he gives lectures on cryptography and on artificial intelligence applied to security and privacy for PhD students. He also works in the areas of smart grids, high performance computing, and algorithms. From 1994 to 2002, he worked at Londrina State University, where he provided support to its Computational Mathematics Lab. He was lecturer and taught several subjects.
