With a BASc in Systems Design Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Todd strives to understand the complex interactions in systems - a perspective that he channels into the design of data-driven, evidence-based decision-support applications for RSI’s clients. His team crafts custom IT solutions and leverages tools such as SQL Server, .NET,  Python, Excel, and R, to translate complex risk scenarios into interactive decision-support platforms.

Dr. Shintaro Hagiwara is a Risk Analyst and Statistician at Risk Sciences International (RSI), where he contributes cutting-edge statistical insight to risk assessments, particularly in chemical safety and public health. Since joining RSI’s technical team in 2018 and transitioning to a full-time role in 2023, he has applied his deep quantitative knowledge to building theoretical foundations and developing statistical software. Notably, he created the database-calibrated assessment process (DCAP) and the enhanced value-of-information (VOI) framework to aid in evidence-based regulatory decision-making, both of which have been reviewed by the Board of Scientific Counselors (BOSC). His applied statistical work provides assessments and tools to derive PODs for chemicals such as inorganic arsenic and fluoride to support both Canadian and international regulatory bodies.

Dr. Anne Wiles joined Risk Sciences International (RSI) in 2008, where she currently serves as a Senior Analyst specializing in risk communication, perception, and governance. With a distinctive blend of expertise in language, regulation, and the use of science in decision-making, Anne has contributed to a wide range of RSI projects focused on the human and institutional dimensions of risk. Her work includes developing health risk communication strategies and drafting publicly accessible scientific information, advising on public messaging for nuclear energy and nuclear waste management, and supporting regulatory agencies in the evaluation and management of complex risk portfolios. She has been deeply involved in several RSI projects examining how mandates, institutional contexts, and public attitudes shape regulatory decision-making across federal domains. Anne has also contributed to scholarly work at RSI, including co-authoring a scoping review on the evolution of health and environmental risk decision-making, an article on the potential health risks associated with aluminum, and a book chapter on public concerns related to blood safety. In addition to her project work, Anne is a university instructor, teaching two courses: a broad overview of societal approaches to risk, and a graduate seminar on risk management in government, where she integrates academic theory with real-world regulatory case studies and risk communication practice.
