Dr Juarros is a physicist with research experience in Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics and has published papers in various international peer-reviewed journals, as well as presented at international conferences. Her research has involved examining light-matter interactions in highly quantum mechanical systems, specifically the formation of ultracold polar molecules. Samples of these molecules could be used to probe physics beyond the standard model and it has been proposed that ultracold polar molecules could be used to aid in the realization of a quantum computer. Dr Juarros also has several years of undergraduate teaching experience at the University of Connecticut in the USA and has held a Teaching Fellowship at the University of Aberdeen in the UK. She has been involved in the implementation of new teaching techniques, including group problem solving laboratories and interactive learning methods for lectures. Dr Juarros began working as a writer and editor for Edanz group in 2010.

Dr Horsburgh has a broad background in medicine and the biological sciences. After completing her medical degree in Auckland, New Zealand, she worked as a general practitioner and student health doctor with particular interest in Pediatrics, Adolescent Medicine and Women's Health. In 1993 Dr Horsburgh moved to Beijing, China, where she continued to practice medicine part-time and also worked as a medical writer and editor. In 1998 she moved to Singapore where she continued to work in the field of medical communications. Her work included producing conference and symposium reports and writing review articles for a range of medical publications. After travelling to Antarctica, Dr Horsburgh returned to Australia to study Antarctic Science in 2004. Her research focused on the impacts of changing sea-ice and oceanographic conditions on marine predators. Dr Horsburgh has used satellite trackers and remote sensing technology to monitor the foraging success of southern elephant seals and developed an index to identify prey encounters from dive data. The results of her research have been published in international peer-reviewed journals. Dr Horsburgh joined the Edanz group as an editor in 2011.

Mr Knight’s Master’s research focused on the neuronal adaptation underlying a visual illusion. He has extensive experience with cognitive neuroscience research paradigms, brain-imaging techniques (including electroencephalography; EEG, and functional magnetic resonance imaging; fMRI), data analysis, and experimental design in neuroscience, cognitive, perceptual and behavioural science. At the University of Auckland, he tutored undergraduate general psychology, neuroanatomy, cognitive and perceptual psychology, and biopsychology courses. Mr Knight studied as a Commonwealth Scholar at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, undertaking research involving evolutionary and comparative psychology, zoology, anthropology, developmental psychology, animal behaviour and human ecology. In 2008, Mr Knight was employed by the University of Otago as an editor and writer of research papers from 11 years of collected data in biology, zoology, climatology, marine systems and ecology. Mr Knight’s research has been presented at several international conferences, and he has published peer-reviewed papers in psychology, zoology and ecology. Mr Knight began working as an editor with the Edanz Group in early 2009.

Dr Price has a background in the field of environmental science and her research interests cover soil trace gas exchange (methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide), soil biology and biochemistry and the cycling of major elements such as carbon and nitrogen. Her PhD studies, which involved intensive field, laboratory and modeling, focused on understanding methane oxidation in a pristine indigenous forest soil. Dr Price was awarded a New Zealand Science and Technology Post-doctoral Fellowship, being involved in regular field measurements as well as modelling of soil methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide exchange from a regenerating sequence of native scrub. Dr Price has experience in writing for many different formats including journal articles, has edited for the Global Biogeochemical Cycles journal, and has presented data at numerous conferences. Dr Price began editing for the Edanz Group in 2009.

Ms Jones spent six years carrying out research at the Scripps Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP), recording and analyzing seismic data from the Pacific Ocean floor and developing underwater seismic observation instruments. She was also involved in oceanographic tectonic research, mapping the Lau Basin (SW Pacific) and deep-ocean dredging on Scripps’ research vessels. She took part in field work with the Geodynamic Project in Sumatra, examining crustal motion in Indonesia. Ms Jones is now a full-time science editor based in New Zealand. She uses her background in math, physics, and geology, as well as her technical knowledge, to edit manuscripts in a wide range of fields in the earth and environmental sciences. Ms Jones joined the Edanz Group as an editor in 2011.

Dr Watts is an atmospheric biogeochemist who has taught Atmospheric Chemistry, Meteorology, Climatology and Policy in both the UK and New Zealand. He has spent over 20 years working in the area of air quality and its affect on health, historic artifacts and climate. He is a referee for several major journals including Atmospheric Environment, and has been a member of both UK and EU government and inter-government working groups and technical committees on air quality and its measurement. Dr Watts, a frequent invited speaker at congresses, has published over 30 peer reviewed papers, has patents (including Japanese patents), and has authored textbooks. He works closely with a network of colleagues in Japan, China and Thailand, and began working as an editor with the Edanz Group in 2010.

Mr. Hunter has 27 years of professional experience since receiving the Master of Science degree. This experience embraces meteorology, hydrology, remote sensing, weather forecasting and modeling, renewable energy, geography, GIS, geophysics, oceanography, and professional education. Mr. Hunter is a world expert in the field of weather modification. He has fulfilled several leadership roles, including Air Force officer, research administrator, training leader, president of a hydrometeorology consulting firm, and operations director of an atmospheric research program in Turkey. Mr. Hunter has conducted research at the National Severe Storms Laboratory and National Center for Atmospheric Research in the USA, and at Risoe National Laboratory in Denmark. His publication record dates to 1980, with 29 publications to his name. Mr Hunter was an Associate Editor at Nature Reviews Nephrology from 2010 to April 2011. He speaks and writes English and Spanish. Mr. Hunter’s background allows him to diligently edit within the atmospheric and hydrologic sciences, most of the other earth sciences, and remote sensing.

Dr Alfaro is a marine biologist with special interests in invertebrate ecology and aquaculture. Her research is inter-disciplinary (i.e., chemistry, physiology, microbiology, genetics, geology, statistics), and aims to elucidate the complex interactions among organisms and their environments. Current projects include the ecology and cultivation of mussels, and estuarine community ecology (i.e., food web dynamics). She is skilled in the design and implementation of field and laboratory experiments that incorporate tools and approaches from a variety of fields. Dr Alfaro is a Senior Lecturer at the Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. Dr Alfaro began working as an editor for Edanz Editing in 2008.

Ms Stewart is a skilled editor who worked for many years for an international publisher. After graduating with a degree in geology, Ms Stewart began work in the editing field. A native English speaker, she also speaks French, Spanish, and Chinese, and has over twenty years of scientific editing experience helping nonnative authors get published. She joined the Edanz Group as an editor in 2011.

Ms Chambers specializes in Geochemistry and Earth System Science, investigating the changing relationship between the Asian monsoon and the El Nino phenomenon and completing a research project on the effects of Antarctic sea ice on climate entitled "The Palaeoceanography of the Weddell Sea."
