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.
Stephen Marsland
Stephen Marsland is a professor of mathematics at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. He works on mathematics of conservation biology, particularly birdsong analysis, on differential geometry of machine learning, diffeomorphic shape analysis, and game theory.
Bernd Neumann
Dr. Bernd Neumann is a German scientist in the field of microbiology. He has a Bachelor´s (B.Sc.) and Master´s (M.Sc.) degree in Human Biology from the University of Greifswald, Division Physiological Proteomics and Bioinformatics at the Institute for Microbiology (supervisor Katharina Riedel). He holds a PhD (Dr.rer.nat.) in Biology from the Technical University of Braunschweig. For his PhD and as PostDoc he worked at the Robert Koch Institute, Division of nosocomial pathogens and antibiotic resistances at the Department of infectious diseases.
Currently he is working as scientist at the Nuremberg General Hospital, Institute for hospital hygiene, medical microbiology and infectious diseases, that also is a university institute of the Paracelsus Medical University. He is working on antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ESKAPE-group) and resistance-mediating mobile genetic elements in the healthcare environment, mainly using molecular approaches as next-generation sequencing.
Ming-Yang Dylan Cheng
Dr. Cheng's pioneering work in sports psychology and cognitive neuroscience underscores the profound relationship between the mind, neural mechanisms, and athletic performance. His expertise in Neurofeedback training, amplified by Electroencephalogram (EEG) technology, has set new standards. This cutting-edge method provides unparalleled insights into real-time cerebral processes, equipping athletes with the tools to optimize their mental resilience and physical precision.
Li Chen
I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Biostatistics and a member in Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at Indiana University School of Medicine. I received a MS in Biostatistics and another MS in Computer Science from the Johns Hopkins University, and PhD in Computer Science and Informatics from Emory University. I also interned in CareerBuilder Data Science and Amazon Machine Learning.
Jorge Leite
Prof. Doctor António Jorge da Costa Leite is Associate Professor within the Department of Psychology and Education at the Universidade Portucalense, Porto, Portugal.
He is also Director of the Portucalense Institute for Human Development, and the PhD program in Clinical Psychology and Counselling.
Jorg J.M. Massen
I am a comparative psychologist specializing in social cognition. Currently I work as an Assistant Professor at the Animal Behaviour and Cognition Group of Utrecht University (NL). My research mainly focuses on the proximate mechanisms underlying animal social relations, with special interest in cooperative and prosocial behaviours. For that I use both observational and experimental approaches. Moreover, to put my studies in an evolutionary perspective, I employ a broad comparative approach, focusing on a variety of primate and bird species.
Eoin L Brodie
Eoin Brodie is a Senior Scientist in the Ecology Department of Berkeley Lab’s Earth and Environmental Sciences Area (EESA). Dr. Brodie serves as the Deputy Director of the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division. At the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Brodie is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management. He obtained his Ph.D. from University College Dublin in Ireland and joined LBNL following postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley.
Bruno Duarte Gomes
My primary area of research is in brain decoding using machine learning and deep learning, particularly in the context of epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and cognitive processes in healthy individuals. My research also includes studying human and non-human primates visual system using psychophysics, visual evoked potentials and cortical extracellular recordings.
Education:
Ph.D., Neuroscience and Cell Biology, Federal University of Para
M.Sc., Neuroscience and Cell Biology, Federal University of Para
B.Sc., Biological Sciences, Federal University of Para
Julieta Carril
Dr. Julieta Carril is a researcher at the CONICET (National Scientific and Technical Research Council), Argentina. Working at the Laboratory of Histology and Descriptive, Experimental and Comparative Embryology (LHYEDEC), Faculty of Veterinary Sciences, National University of La Plata, Argentina. Her research focuses on the role of developmental reprogramming processes in the morphological evolution of Neornithes birds. Dr. Carril is also a member of the Avian Biomorphodynamic Research Group (ABRG)
Agnes Dettai
Associate professor at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris. Curator of the fish barcode collection.
I study the systematics and evolution of Actinopterygians, especially at the inter/intra specific boundary and in species delineation with integrative approaches, but also on the evolution of mitogenomes in fish species from the Southern Ocean. I also work on molecular identification (barcoding, metabarcoding) of marine and freshwater fish and benthic species.
Ben Corry
I spend my time trying to understand the proteins known as ion channels that are responsible for electrical signalling in cells using simulation and fluorescence. I am fascinated by how organisms can survive despite the chaos taking place at the molecular level.
I received my PhD from the Australian National University in 2003. After 9 years in 'The Wild West' (Perth, WA) where I won the 2008 West Australian Young Scientist of the Year 2008, I have found my way back to work at the ANU.
Shun-Fa Yang
Prof. Shun-Fa Yang is a Director of Clinical Cancer Research at Chung Shan Medical University Hospital and Professor at the Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taiwan.
Dr. Yang received a Ph.D. degree in molecular biology, his research interests include pharmacology, oral cancer metastasis, cancer biology, genetic polymorphism and environment risk factors in oral cancer.
