Dr Richard Haase

1983 - PhD Physics, University of Canterbury, NZ
1980 - MSc Physics, University of Canterbury, NZ
1978 - BSc (Hons) Physics, University of Canterbury, NZ
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 Elizabeth Juarros

2007 - PhD Physics, University of Connecticut, USA
2003 - MS Physics, University of Connecticut, USA
1999 - BS Physics, Fort Lewis College, USA
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 Alexandre Lewalle

2003 - PhD Physics, Cambridge University, UK
1998 - BA (Hons) MSci Physics, Cambridge University, UK
Dr Lewalle is a multidisciplinary physicist with a background in semiconductor and condensed-matter physics. His PhD research examined quantum phenomena related to electron correlations in ultra-clean low-dimensional silicon MOSFETs and GaAs heterostructures. Dr Lewalle’s experiments made extensive use of cryogenic equipment and high-sensitivity electronic measurements at low temperatures. His post-doctoral study and recent research has focused on the physics of biological systems at the cellular and single-molecule levels. At King's College London, Dr Lewalle built and used an optical-tweezer system to measure the mechanical stiffness of single myosin molecules, the proteins that give rise to tension in muscle. Currently, at University College London, he studies the force-producing mechanisms in chemotactic cells. Dr Lewalle joined the Edanz Group as an editor in 2011

Dr Glenn MacEwen

1971 - PhD Computer Science, University of Toronto, Canada
1968 - BEng Electrical Engineering, McGill University, Canada
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 Gregory Betzel

2009 - PhD (candidate) Medical Physics, University of Canterbury, NZ
2005 - MSc Physics, Department of Physics, Northern Illinois University, US
1999 - BSc Industrial Engineering, Northern Illinois University, US
Mr Betzel is currently a doctoral student at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, where he is investigating the use of synthetic diamonds as X-ray detectors for clinical applications. Mr Betzel has over six years of experience authoring medical, accelerator, and detector physics research in peer-reviewed journals and other publications. He has laboratory experience at both the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the Argonne National Laboratory in the United States. He worked previously for three years in a professional engineering research and manufacturing environment. Mr Betzel began working as an editor with the Edanz Group in 2008.

Mr Mark Kurban

2007 - MSc Physics, California State University at Northridge, USA
1997 - BSc Astronomy, University of Southern California, USA
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.

Mr Jason Agne

2007 - BSc Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign, US
2007 - BSc Engineering Physics, University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign, US
Mr Agne's initial studies focused on quantum/optical physics and electrical engineering. He then spent 4 years working in the private sector with Japanese scientists. Mr Agne is currently undertaking his PhD studies (in Physics) and researching at the University of Iowa. He joined the Edanz Group as an editor in 2011.
