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.
Dr. Adrià Muntaner Mas (Palma, 1988) is a Senior Lecturer of the Department of Pedagogy and Specific Didactics at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) since the 2013-2014 academic year. He holds a Bachelor in Physical Education Teaching (2010) and a Bachelor of Science in Physical Activity and Sports (2012).
His research focuses on the study of the effects of physical exercise/physical activity on physical and brain health, mostly in the school-age population. He has published more than 30 national and international scientific articles and has participated in more than 20 research projects. He did four research stays for a total of one year and two months, three of them were at the national level and one at the international level, in Melbourne (Australia). He has disseminated the results of his research in more than 50 conferences. He is a member of two research groups (GICAFE and PROFITH) and is a member of the BATLAB research laboratory. He has carried out journal management duties as an associate editor and has carried out more than 20 peer-reviews of scientific articles.
Daniel H. Murgida, PhD, is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences, and Principal Investigator of the National Research Council, CONICET, Argentina. His laboratory investigates structural, dynamics and mechanistic aspects of natural and chimeric electron transferring proteins and redox enzymes, with basic and applied purposes. This includes a variety of heme and copper metalloproteins that are investigated using spectroscopic, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods in combination with protein engineering and computational simulations.
Dr. Alessandro Musetti is Assistant Professor of Dynamic Psychology at the University of Parma, Italy.
His main research topics include the psychodynamics of addictive behaviors, the relationship between attachment and psychopathology. More specifically, the relational dynamics with peers in adolescence, the attachment styles in people with clinical dependence and the problematic use of the internet.
Dr. Petteri Muukkonen is a senior lecturer in geoinformatics. He is a geographer, and specifically owns a strong background in biogeography and in geoinformatics. He has mainly studied various biogeography and forestry themes in the boreal forest environment. For example, Dr. Muukkonen has studied carbon sequestration and carbon cycle, biomass surveys and monitoring, spatial autocorrelation of soil characteristics, landscape fragmentation, habitat changes and remote sensing of forest landscape. Geoinformatics (GIS and remote sensing) has been present in some way in all of his research topics.
Dr. Myers joined the Neurobehavioral Research Lab at VA NJHCS in 2009 and joined NJMS as a Professor in 2011. Her research interests focus on understanding the brain substrates of learning and memory, using techniques including computational neuroscience and human experimental neuropsychology.
She has authored and co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles and several books including the undergraduate-level textbook “Learning and Memory: From Brain to Behavior.”
Professor of Plant Biology at the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Ardmore, OK, USA. Adjunct professor at the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK.
