Salvador Amigó is a full university professor at the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Valencia (Spain). He has worked in different areas, such as history, economics, philosophy and, especially, psychology. He is the creator of Self-Regulation Therapy, a psychological technique based on suggestion and classical conditioning. He has written numerous scientific papers on this subject, as well as books such as Manual of Controlled Drug Use, that is a reliable guide for smart drug use, and a guide for researchers worldwide that offers material and methods to experimentally study controlled drug use and its psychotherapeutic use.
Antonio Caselles was born in 1945 in Valencia (Spain). Agricultural engineer in1970. Post grade courses on Horticulture, Conservation of fruits and vegetables, Cooperation, Business Administration, and Operations Research. Engineering Doctor in 1978. Teaching Mathematics and Operations Research in the University of Valencia (Spain) from 1974 to 2009 (when retired).  Research lines and interest in Systems Thinking (Abstract Systems Theory, Mathematical modeling and Simulation of complex systems, social systems and ecosystems, Automatic programming and Data mining). Member of the Spanish Society of General Systems (SESGE). Member of the International Academy for Systems and Cybernetic Sciences (IASCYS) from 2013.
I studied Theoretical Physics in the University. After 6 years teaching in the secondary school, I started my career as researcher in the Applied Mathematics department of the Universitat de Valéncia, and passing after two years to the Universitat Politècnica de Valéncia (UPV). Meanwhile, I finished my doctoral thesis in applied mathematics. Since 1996 I research in General Systems Theory, concretely in the modelling and simulation area, in the context of social and human sciences. In the last 6 years I have been developed this research in the Multidisciplinary Mathematical Institute of the UPV.
Researcher at CEU Cardenal Herrera University, specialising in image processing, numerical analysis, and partial differential equations. His academic work spans mathematical models applied to the restoration of paintings and the implementation of STEAM methodologies in higher education and   Systems Theory.
