Dr Haase is a mathematical physicist with diverse interests ranging from astronomy to quantum mechanics, but specializing in the area of symmetries in nature and the applications of algebras and group theory to physical systems. After a post-doctoral position at the Universitat Wien, Austria, he was awarded a fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung in 1985 studying quasicrystals at the Universitat Tubingen, Germany. As principal researcher from 1990 to 1993 at the Centro Internacional de Fisica in Bogota, Colombia, his research interests extended to the applications of the non-compact symplectic group to quantum dots, q-deformed quantum algebras and groups applied to mass generation, and fullerenes. From 1994 to 2004 he became associate professor at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. He returned to his native New Zealand to pursue research into the applications of geometric algebras in physics. Dr Haase began working with Edanz Editing as an editor in fields associated with mathematical physics in 2008.

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 Roberts has experience in a wide range of research fields. His PhD research focused on measuring effective charges in nonaqueous colloidal systems using optical tweezers in combination with an electrophoretic cell. After completing his PhD, he worked for two years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the AIBN, in the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. His research used tunable nanopores to detect the biomodification of nanoparticles, aiming to develop a simple, easily applied bioassay technique. Dr Roberts is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Materials Science Research Centre at Chiang Mai University, Thailand. He works in the area of nanotechnology attempting to create stronger carbon nanotube networks. Dr Roberts joined the Edanz Group as an editor in 2011.

Dr MacEwen has 26 years experience in the IT field as a faculty member in the Department of Computing and Information Science at Queen's University in Canada. During this time he has published numerous journal and conference papers, published a textbook on computer systems, and acted as a reviewer for several research journals. He has supervised numerous PhD dissertations and served on many engineering and natural science examination committees. Dr MacEwen also co-founded a software company, Andyne Computing Limited, and became a director when it became a successful public company. Since leaving Queen’s University 10 years ago, Dr MacEwen has been a technical editor and writer. The fields he focuses on include computer security, computer systems, software engineering, computer science, formal methods, requirements specification, electrical engineering, engineering, mathematics, information technology, telecommunications, computer networks, and operating systems. Dr MacEwen joined the Edanz Group as an editor and writer in 2010.

Mr Pennycook was a member of a Japanese – New Zealand astrophysics project called "MOA" (Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics), which essentially looked for dark matter candidates using various techniques. Mr Pennycook’s part of the project was published in the journal Astronomy. His postgraduate papers were in modern physics—astrophysics, nuclear physics, quantum mechanics and relativity. Mr Pennycook has taught astronomy and mathematics at university. As well, he has a background of studies in psychology and education at postgraduate levels. He has published in science education magazines and climbing magazines. Indeed, he is an accomplished mountaineer, being co-founder and editor of New Zealand's most visited mountaineering information website, www.mountainz.co.nz. Mr Pennycook has been a full-time editor for Edanz Editing since the beginning of 2007, and edits in fields related to physics, mathematics and the physical sciences.

Mr Kurban’s research on condensed phase dynamics has involved quantum mechanics, hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. He has also examined the liquid phase through electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. This research has focused on the quantum spin-exchange rates and the possibility of using recollision rates to determine bulk properties of a liquid. Mr Kurban has published as a first author in the Journal of Chemical Physics. He has also conducted research for the solar physics project of the 60-ft Tower at Mt. Wilson Observatory in California. Mr Kurban began working as an editor for the Edanz Group in 2011.

With an undergraduate degree in Ceramic Engineering (a subdiscipline of Materials Engineering) and an MA in Professional Writing, Ms. Kieva has a broad background and sound foundation in science and scientific editing. She is experienced in editing for authors for whom English is not their first language, understanding the challenges facing these authors as they seek publication in professional journals. She joined the Edanz Group as an editor in 2011.
