Academic Editors
The following people constitute the Editorial Board of Academic Editors for PeerJ. These active academics are the Editors who seek peer reviewers, evaluate their responses, and make editorial decisions on each submission to the journal. Learn more about becoming an Editor.
Fusheng Wang
I am a Professor at Department of Biomedical Informatics and Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of California, Los Angeles, and M.S. and B.S. in Engineering Physics from Tsinghua University, China. Prior to joining Stony Brook University, I was an assistant professor at Emory University. I was a research scientist at Siemens Corporate Research (Princeton, NJ) before joining Emory University.
My research goal on big data management and analytics is to address the research challenges for delivering effective, scalable and high performance software systems for managing, querying and mining complex big data at multiple dimensions, including 2D and 3D spatial and imaging data, temporal data, spatial-temporal data, and sequencing data. My research goal on biomedical informatics is to develop novel methods and software systems to optimize the acquisition, extraction, management, and mining of biomedical data with much improved efficiency, interoperability, accuracy, and usability to support biomedical research and the healthcare enterprise.
Ryan E Mills
Assistant Professor in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics and the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Michigan.
Katja Wassmann
Head of the Mammalian Oocyte Meiosis (MOM) research group, at the Institut de Biologie Paris Seine (IBPS), Paris, France. She is currently a Research Director with the CNRS.
After her PhD in G. Ammerer's lab in Vienna on signal transduction in budding yeast, and a Postdoc in R. Benezra's lab (MSKCC, New York, USA) where she worked on mitotic checkpoint control in human cells, she decided to continue on cell cycle and spindle checkpoint control in oocyte meiosis.
Dean S Venables
Dr Dean Venables is a lecturer in physical & environmental chemistry in the School of Chemistry and in the Environmental Research Institute, University College Cork. He is a research leader in the Centre for Research into Atmospheric Chemistry and is also affiliated with the Tyndall National Institute. His research interests focus on atmospheric chemistry and spectroscopic instrument development for quantifying trace gases and characterising aerosol optical properties.
Gjalt-Jorn Ygram Peters
I am a behavior change professional on the cross-section between behavior change science (psychology), methodology and statistics and technology (ICT).
Main interests include: behavior change, statistics, methodology, online research methodology and intervention development.
Hope A Michelsen
Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff in the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories. A.B. in Chemistry from Dartmouth College, Ph.D. in Chemistry with a minor in Physics from Stanford University. Elected Fellow of the Optical Society (OSA).
My current research interests include developing and using optical and X-ray techniques for studying the chemistry of combustion-generated particles inside the combustor and their evolution after release into the atmosphere. My research experience includes gas-surface scattering experiments, atmospheric modeling, soot-formation studies, combustion-diagnostics development, atmospheric black-carbon measurements, and greenhouse-gas source attribution.
Beth Fairfield
Since completing my Ph.D. in Italy in Psychology my research interests have centered on Memory and Aging, emotion and cognition, binding and Source monitoring. I am currently a researcher at the University of Chieti, Italy where I teach Cognitive Psychology and Psychology of memory and aging.
Benedikt Ley
Dr. Benedikt Ley is a Senior Scientist at Menzies School of Health Research, Darwin, Australia. He is a public health expert with a focus on diagnostics, vivax Malaria and G6PD deficiency. He is also a lecturer at the Charles Darwin University and coordinates the Vivax Working Group of the Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network (APMEN).
