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.
Andrew Denovan
Andrew's research primarily focuses on individual differences, health, and performance. To this end, he has an active interest in the development and evaluation of psychological measures, and research methods including psychometrics and statistical modelling. His research also focuses on wellbeing, applied cognitive psychology, and psychopathology.
Bryn TM Dentinger

Robert J. Deschenes
Professor and Chair of the Department of Molecular Medicine, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Fred Wright Professor of Cancer Biology
Nicolas Desneux
Research Director at INRA, France. Main expertise is in the fields of Ecology, Community ecology, ecotoxicology and IPM
Lucía DeSoto

Christophe Dessimoz
SNSF Professor at the University of Lausanne, Reader at University College London, and Group Leader of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
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.
Luigi Di Biasi
Luigi Di Biasi is a Researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Salerno.
Since 2023, he has been a Deferred Tenured Teacher for the A041 STEM class at ITT Maria Curie – Naples (NATF190001).
He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Salerno in 2010 and his Master’s degree in Computer Science in 2014. In 2023, he completed his PhD in Computer Science at the same university.
Starting from the 2023/24 academic year, he has been a lecturer and co-instructor for courses on Databases, Statistics, and Data Analysis.
Marialaura Di Tella
Dr. Marialaura Di Tella is a Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology at the University of Turin.
Her primary research interests include Emotion Recognition, Psychological Assessment and Emotional Communication.
Nicholas J Dickens
Associate Research Professor in Bioinformatics at Florida Atlantic University. Research focus genomics of marine organisms, environmental microbiomes and machine learning to understand genome sequence. Wellcome Trust Centre for Molecular Parasitology, University of Glasgow Bioinformatics team for 7 years and lead the team for 4 of those. Also lead an experimental sequencing team in the Centre and has a bioinformatics research group. Originally, studied Biology at Imperial College London and moved into bioinformatics at NV Organon Pharmaceuticals in the Netherlands. Following this he had a research post at the MRC Functional Genetics Unit, University of Oxford where he stayed to do his genome informatics PhD. Has held research post-doctoral posts in London working in type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease at Imperial College, and cancer biology at the Institute of Cancer Research.
Rumiana Dimova
Group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces since 2005
PhD in Biophysics from Bordeaux University
Awarded the Emmy Noether Distinction for Women in Physics in 2014
Research interests: mechanical, rheological and electrical properties of membranes, colloidal interactions, molecular crowding
Jocelyne DiRuggiero
Associate professor of Biology and Earth and Planetary Sciences; member of the Center for Astrophysical Sciences; co-founder and director of the Institute for Planets and Life. We use extremophiles to address fundamental questions in biology, in particular mechanisms underlying the diversity of microbial communities, their functioning, and their responses to environmental perturbations. At the molecular level, we use archaeal model systems to investigate adaptive mechanisms to environmental stresses.
