I’m Tom Ferguson from Washington University in St. Louis, a Meritus Professor of Surgery there, and I’m a consultant to the Panel.

Also “A meritous professor”.

“Neville Quarry, a meritous Professor at Sydney’s University of Technology,”
http://www.iddv.com/events/tatestives.htm
“joined by Richard Gregory (a meritous professor of neuro psychology at University of Bristol)”
Googling confirms that both are emeritus professors.
