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.
I. Emma Huertas
Tenured Scientist at the High Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). Research interests include marine biogeochemistry with special emphasis on carbon cycle in the coastal fringe (estuaries, salt marshes and continental margins) and the open ocean. My research lines focus on air-water CO2 fluxes and the coupling between inorganic carbon dynamics and biological and physical processes. More recently, I am also investigating the exchange of non CO2 greenhouse gases (CH4 and N2O) between the atmosphere and the marine domain. Phytoplankton dynamics and their adaptation to global change is also considered.
Falk Huettmann
Falk grew up in Germany, got a M.Sc. in Forestry from Universities, Goettingen, Freiburg and Munich with a thesis at NISK/Norway on digital image processing of trees affected by acid rain. He then worked at the EU with a Robert Schuman Scholarship of the European Parliament in Luxemburg, and with a NGO in Bruxelles. In 2001 he got a PhD from the ACWERN at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Eastern Canada on pelagic seabirds, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and data. His postdoc was with the Center of Wildlife Ecology at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver about Marbled Murrelets. He then got a Killam Scholarship with the University of Calgary working on Grizzly Bear habitat future models in the Rocky Mountains.
In 2002 he became a Professor of Wildlife Ecology in his EWHALE lab with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. Falk works with his students world-wide on landscapes, oceans and the atmosphere focusing on the conservation of biodiversity and habitats. He has over 350 publications, including 9 books and many Open Access datasets and metadata on over 2000 species
Daniel F Hughes
Dr. Daniel Hughes is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Coe College, where he studies how organisms, species, and entire communities respond to change, both in the past and present. His research begins with natural history observations and then leverages comparative approaches from diverse fields to study ecological and evolutionary processes, mostly in reptiles and amphibians. Dr. Hughes' work stems from the interrelated aims of tracking the impacts of global changes and improving the conservation of species.
Jacob J Hughey
I’m an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt University. My group's research is centered around developing and applying computational methods to large, noisy datasets in order to quantify, model, and understand dynamic biological systems. We are particularly interested in the mammalian circadian system.
Henkjan J. Huisman
Dr. H.J. Huisman received his Ph.D. in quantitative medical ultrasound in 1998 at the Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. He continued his research in quantitative MR and ultrasound in breast and prostate resulting in several publications, clinical applications and a patent on a Pharmacokinetic DCEMR processing. He started a research group in 2004 on Computer Aided Diagnosis and Intervention of prostate cancer focussing on computerized support systems for interpretation of multiparametric MR and MRL as well as image guided biopsy and intervention. Since June 2017 he is an Associate Professor in Pelvic Imaging Biomarkers. He has published over 100 papers and book chapters and has co-organized several workshops/challenges on prostate MR image analysis.
Tsung-Min Hung
Tsung-Min Hung (Ernest) currently works as a research chair professor at the Department of Physical Education , National Taiwan Normal University. He was inducted as a fellow for the National Academy of Kinesiology (US) and the International Society of Sport Psychology in 2018. His research mainly focuses on two areas. The first area is about enhancing sport performance through cortical intervention. Specifically, EEG signature of superior sport performance, precision sports such as golf, shooting, archery, and service in racket sports in particular, as well as neurofeedback are his current endeavor. The second area of research focus on neurocognitive effect of physical activity. Children with ADHD, the elderly participants, and young children are his current targeting population.
Adam Husein
Adam Husein is Professor of Prosthodontics at the College of Dental Medicine, University of Sharjah. He is a Fellow with the International College of Dentist and member of the International College of Prosthodontist. Prof. Husein's specialized interest is in maxillofacial prosthodontics, laser, biomaterials, implantology and stem cells.
Sabir Hussain
Dr. Sabir Hussain is serving as a Professor at the Government College University Faisalabad. He is an environmental scientist with a PhD (Specialization in Environmental Microbiology) from University of Burgundy, Dijon, France.
His research is primarily focused on devising the strategies for biological wastewater treatment. He has conducted several studies on the isolation and characterization of novel microbial strains involved in biodegradation and biotransformation of different organic compounds including pesticides and synthetic dyes existing in soil and water resources.
Mona Ahmed Hussein
Dr. Mona Ahmed Hussein is an Entomologist and Nematologist, currently working as a Professor of Biological Control at Pests & Plant Protection Dept., Agricultural & Biological Research Institute, National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt.
She received her B.Sc. from the faculty of Science, Ain Shams University, Egypt. She received a full M.Sc. scholarship from both the United State of America Ministry of Agriculture and the New Mexico State University (NMSU) in the field of Biological Control. She received her Ph.D. degree through scholarship from German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst DAAD), Germany in corporation with Fac. Science, Ain Shams Univ., Cairo, Egypt.
Prof. Hussein’s work is focused mainly on the production, formulation and field application of the entomopathogenic nematodes and their symbiotic bacteria.
Abdullatif Husseini
Abdullatif Husseini, Ph.D., MPH, MS is currently an Associate Professor of Public Health and Director of the Master of Community and Public Health Program at the Birzeit University. He received his MS in life sciences from Indiana State University, his MPH from the University of Wales, and his Ph.D. in epidemiology and preventive medicine from the University of Oslo, Norway. Dr. Husseini research interests include epidemiology of non-communicable diseases and their risk factors and public health in emergencies. His publications in peer reviewed journals covered various topics, including diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity, among other important public health issues in the region. He led and participated in various research projects. Dr. Husseini taught different graduate and the undergraduate courses including: classical epidemiology, advanced epidemiology, research methods, and introduction to public health Dr. Husseini is a tenured associate professor at Birzeit University.
