Dr Gabriel De Marco received his PhD in 2018 at Florida State University, with a focus on free action and moral responsibility. After graduating, he joined the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics as a research fellow, expanding his focus to practical issues concerning agency, free action, and responsibility; especially concerning, neurocorrectives, arational influences, and responsibility in the context of health. Professor Neil Levy began academic life as a continental philosopher, but has broaden his interests to cover much of philosophy. He Has worked at applied ethics centres (first the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, in Australia, then the Uehiro Centre) for much of his career.

Professor Julian Savulescu has held the Uehiro Chair in Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford since 2002, where he founded the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics in 2003.
