Andrei L. Badescu is a Professor of Actuarial Science and Director of the Master of Financial Insurance in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto. His academic leadership spans editorial roles at Insurance: Mathematics and Economics and program direction for graduate actuarial programs. His educational foundation includes: BSc in Mathematics and Economics from Bucharest University of Economic Studies (1998) MSc in Mathematics and Economics from Bucharest University of Economic Studies (2000) PhD in Actuarial Science from Western University (2004) He completed postdoctoral training at the University of Waterloo (2006) before joining the University of Toronto faculty in 2006. Research interests evolved from foundational work in Risk and Ruin Theory using Matrix Analytic Methods to contemporary applications in Stochastic Claim Reserving, Dependence Modelling, and Predictive Analytics. Current emphases include Telematics risk assessment and Insurance Data Science, leveraging advanced statistical techniques for real-world insurance challenges. Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal a strategic shift toward data-driven insurance solutions. Key trends include micro-level claim reserving via inverse probability weighting, telematics-based driving risk modeling using unsupervised learning, and mixture-of-experts frameworks for portfolio ratemaking. These works bridge traditional actuarial science with machine learning, particularly in handling censored data and operational risk. Professor Badescu mentors five doctoral students (Spark Tseung, Sebastian Calcetero, Ian Weng, Sophia Chan, Hassan Abdelrahman) and two master's students (Kaihua Sun, Yifeng Ge). His administrative leadership includes directing the Master of Financial Insurance program and previously overseeing the Data Science concentration in the Master of Applied Computing. His research group develops practical tools like the LRMoE.jl software package for actuarial loss modeling, while future work targets telematics integration and insurance-specific artificial intelligence applications.

Fabian Pfeffer is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Research Associate Professor in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. He serves as the founding director of the Center for Inequality Dynamics (CID), leader of the Inequality Lab, and Co-Investigator of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Dr. Pfeffer's research investigates social inequality and its maintenance across time and generations. His current work focuses on wealth inequality and its consequences for the next generation, social mobility processes across multiple generations, and the maintenance of inequality through education. His interdisciplinary approach combines sociological theory with advanced statistical methods to analyze complex patterns of wealth distribution and mobility. Through his extensive publications from 2018-2025, Pfeffer has made significant contributions to understanding how wealth inequality shapes educational opportunities and life outcomes. His research demonstrates how family wealth influences children's educational attainment and how racial disparities in wealth perpetuate across generations. Notable methodological contributions include new approaches to analyzing mobility effects and developing the PSID-SHELF data resource. Dr. Pfeffer has developed innovative visualizations that make complex patterns of wealth inequality accessible to broader audiences, including interactive tools showing intergenerational wealth mobility and racial disparities. His work on the Wealth and Mobility (WAM) Study, conducted with the IRS Statistics of Income unit, gathers comprehensive data on U.S. household wealth. His research has important policy implications regarding wealth taxation and redistribution. Pfeffer's international comparative work reveals that national levels of income and wealth inequality are uncorrelated, challenging conventional wisdom in inequality research. His scholarship connects micro-level processes of social reproduction with macro-level patterns of inequality, providing a comprehensive understanding of how wealth shapes opportunities across generations.
