Anirban Chakraborti is the Dean-Research and Development, BML Munjal University, Gurugram, and Professor at the School of Computational and Integrative Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He had been a faculty at École Centrale Paris, France, and Banaras Hindu University, India. He  obtained a Ph.D. in Physics from Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, India and then the Habilitation in Physics from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), France. He has  experience  working as a scientist at many reputed universities and educational institutions in India, the USA, Europe, and Japan. He was awarded the prestigious Young Scientist Medal by the Indian National Science Academy in 2009 for pioneering work in Econophysics. He has been elected as the Fellow, The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS). He has published fourteen books and edited volumes, and more than eighty-five research and review articles in internationally renowned publishing houses. His main research interests lie in the areas of Econophysics, Sociophysics, Data Science, Complex Systems, Statistical Physics, Quantum Physics and Nanomaterial Science. Emmanuel Haven has been a pioneer in the emerging paradigm of quantum like modeling in social science. He is the Dr. Alex Faseruk Chair in Financial Management and Director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. programme at the Memorial University, Canada. He earned a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in economics from Mc Gill University and a Ph.D. in finance from Concordia University. He is the former head of the finance division at the School of Business, University of Leicester (United Kingdom). His research applies concepts from physics to social science. He has published in social science journals such as the Journal of Mathematical Economics, Economic Theory, the Journal of Mathematical Psychology, the European Journal of Operational Research, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, and the International Review of Financial Analysis, Theory and Decision and Frontiers in Psychology. He  has also published in science journals such as Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, Foundations of Physics, the Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, Physica Scripta, the International Journal of Theoretical Physics, Acta Applicandae Mathematicae, Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, Annalen der Physik and other journals. Haven has been the recipient of a „super star award” from the Students” Union (University of Leicester) for his teaching on several occasions. Dr Sudip Patra (Ph D University of Glasgow, Scotland) is associate professor at OP Jindal Global University, India, and a research fellow at the Laszlo Institute of new paradigm research, Argentina. He is also a founding member of an interdisciplinary research group: CEASP at OP Jindal Global University. Dr Patra’s works are in the field of quantum-like framework or modelling, which is an interface between mathematical and philosophical concepts of quantum science (particularly quantum information theory) and decision science, with potential contributions in social sciences. Dr Patra’s research interest also lies in philosophy of science and quantum foundations.   Naresh Singh has more than three decades of post Ph.D. international development experience in more than fifty countries. He holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences from the University of West Indies, Mona, and a M.Sc. in Agriculture from the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, India. Currently, he is the Professor and Professor & Executive Dean,   Jindal School of Government and Public Policy, and Director of the Centre for Complexity Economics, Applied Spirituality and Public Policy (CEASP) at O.P.
