Dr Oraiopoulos earned his PhD from Georgia Institute of Technology. His research is focused on understanding how organisations make high-stakes decisions, such as whether to invest in a new project, when to terminate a project that is not performing well, what data they can leverage to become more innovative, and what organisational structures they should put in place to empower a sound decision-making process. He has worked with organisations across various industries and sectors, including AstraZeneca, British Telecom, HSBC, Johnson & Johnson, and the Abu Dhabi Police Force.
David Stillwell
University Lecturer in Big Data Analytics & Quantitative Social Science, Academic Director of the Psychometrics Centre, BSc, MSc, PhD (University of Nottingham)
David studies the links between big data and psychology; his research with 6 million social media users found that the computer can predict a user’s personality as accurately as their spouse can. Follow up research found that personalizing an advert to the recipient’s psychology is more effective than generic ads.
This line of research suddenly became very topical in 2018 with the revelations of an American company’s use of social media data for political marketing in the 2016 American presidential elections. Subsequently in 2018 and 2019, David presented at the European Parliament and to the European Data Protection Supervisor on the topic of data use in marketing, and his research has been cited in numerous data protection policy reports by governments worldwide
David has also published research using various big data sources to show that spending money on products and services that match one’s personality leads to greater life satisfaction, that people tend to date others who have a similar personality, and that people who swear seem to be more honest. David is currently pursuing research with companies’ internal data for People Analytics.
