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.

Assoc Prof Michael Dewe retired in December 2006 as University of Canterbury IT Director and is currently an Adjunct Assoc Prof and a consultant to the Information and Communication Technology industry. Prior to his position as University IT Director, he was an Assoc Prof (Reader) in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Research interests focused on advanced instrumentation and data acquisition systems with specific applications to real-time power quality monitoring (harmonic analysis) and seismic earthquake measurement and recording. He lectured in engineering design, computer hardware, instrumentation, and engineering management. His early career was as an electronic systems engineer, designing flight and ground systems for satellites and launch vehicles for European Space Projects. A systems engineer, Assoc Prof Dewe has wide experience in applications of engineering to various scientific disciplines. He began working with the Edanz Group in 2008.

Dr Alexander is currently a postdoctoral research associate at Montana State University's Molecular Beam Facility where he studies gas/surface and gas/gas reaction dynamics. His research interests include experimental and computational chemical physics, and he has experience in surface spectroscopy, ultra-high vacuum, and atomic/molecular beam techniques. He has authored more than 10 scientific papers, with first-authored papers accepted to the Journal of Chemical Physics, Journal of Physical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, and Faraday Discussions. He regularly presents at national and regional conferences. Dr Alexander is also interested in the incorporation of modern pedagogical techniques in chemical education. Dr Alexander began working an editor for the Edanz Group in 2011.

Dr Cooper's PhD thesis was entitled "A Computer Simulation Study of the Interaction of Surfactants with Mineral Surfaces". He spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at Industrial Research Ltd. in New Zealand, computationally studying self-adsorbed monolayers of long-chain thiols on gold surfaces. He then worked at the University of Cambridge where he was funded by the pharmaceutical industry to investigate the thermodynamic properties of organic molecular solids. Dr Cooper has published 14 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and has presented his work at numerous international scientific conferences. His expertise is in the area of computational materials science and he has considerable experience in the computational methods that are used to study solid-state materials. He joined the Edanz group as an editor in 2011.

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 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 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 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.
