Silvio Peroni
I hold a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies, University of Bologna, where I teach 'Basic Informatics' and 'Computational Thinking and Programming'.
I am an expert in document markup and semantic descriptions of bibliographic entities using OWL ontologies. I am one of the main developers of the SPAR (Semantic Publishing and Referencing) Ontologies, Co-Director of OpenCitations, and founding member of the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC).
I am an Editorial Board member of Data Science, PeerJ Computer Science, and I am member of the Digital Humanities Advanced Research Centre (/DH.arc), part of the Advisory Board of DBLP and Qeios, Ambassador of Figshare and PeerJ, and member of the Association for Computing Machinery, of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics, and of the Associazione per l’Informatica Umanistica e la Cultura Digitale.
Among my research interests are Semantic Web technologies, markup languages for complex documents, design patterns for digital documents and ontology modelling, and automatic processes of analysis and segmentation of documents. In particular, my recent works concern the empirical analysis of the nature of scholarly citations, bibliometrics and scientometrics studies, visualisation and browsing interfaces for semantic data, and the development of ontologies to manage, integrate and query bibliographic information.
James B Procter
I studied Chemistry at The University of York, Computer Science at The University of Leeds, and obtained a PhD at the Australian National University. I worked on the comparison, classification and prediction of protein structure at ANU and in Germany at the University of Hamburg before joining the Jalview project in Dundee in 2004.
I co-founded the VIZBI conference in 2009, and joined PeerJ CS as Academic Editor in 2014. I serve on a variety of biological and computer science peer review panels and conference program committees. I'm interested in how we can do better science by creating better tools for data analysis and communication.

Aurora Saibene is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow in Computer Science at the University of Milano-Bicocca, whose research activities are mainly focused on brain-computer interfacing, human-machine interaction, multimedia signal processing, and neuroinformatics.
She took her Bachelor's, Master's Degree, and PhD in Computer Science at the University of Milano-Bicocca in 2015, 2018, and 2022, respectively.
Her PhD thesis in Computer Science focused on the design of a Flexible Pipeline for Electroencephalographic Signal Processing and Management, wanting to provide a set of suggestions and technical procedures to pre-process, normalize, manage features, and classify a particularly tricky signal like the electroencephalographic one in different contexts. She has especially focused on the field of motor movement and imagery as well as on emotion recognition and she is now facing the challenge of employing wearable technologies with a multimodal approach to provide efficient and reliable brain-computer interfacing and human-centric systems in different fields of application.

Claudia Scorolli
I am a Cognitive Scientist working as Associate Professor at the Department of Philosophy and Communication Studies of the University of Bologna.
I obtained my PhD in Philosophy of Language, Linguistics and Cognitive Sciences in 2009 at the University of Bologna, and my PsyD in Clinical Psychology, specialized in Analytical Psychodrama, in 2014 at the Mosaico Institute of Bologna (certified by MIUR).
My research has been focused on grounding of language in sensorimotor processes, as well as on language as social tool which modifies human's way to interact with the world. My experimental work currently extends to the study of the possibilities for physical/social interactions offered by the current interactive context, i.e. physical and social affordances. My scientific interest includes the investigation of cultural factors influencing cognitive and emotional processes.
From a clinical perspective, I have scrutinized new clinical interventions in the field of neurocognitive disorders, as psychosocial interventions for people with dementia.
