Roberto Refinetti (/rəfɪˈnɛtɪ/; born November 19, 1957) is a behavioral physiologist and higher-education administrator. He is best known for his book Circadian Physiology and is ranked in the top 2% of scientists in the world.[1]

Behavioral physiology

Refinetti earned his doctoral degree in psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1987 and has been a researcher or university professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Virginia, the College of William and Mary, the University of South Carolina, Boise State University, and the University of New Orleans.[2] He is the editor-in-chief of the interdisciplinary journals Chronobiology International[3] and Sexuality & Culture,[4] as well as section editor of BMC Physiology[5] and editorial board member of the Journal of Thermal Biology,[6] of Biological Rhythm Research,[7] and of Acta Scientiae Veterinariae.[8] He has served as consultant for numerous journalists and media producers on a variety of topics related to biological rhythms, as recorded in newspaper articles on seasonal affective disorder,[9] on daylight-saving time,[10] on the pervasiveness of circadian rhythms,[11] and on myths about lunar cycles in human behavior.[12]

Notable publications

Refinetti is best known as the author of Circadian Physiology, a comprehensive book on circadian rhythms (first edition: 1999; second edition: 2006; third edition: 2016),[13] that has received positive reviews.[14][15][16] His research program has been funded by grants from the National Science Foundation[17][18][19] and the National Institutes of Health.[20][21][22] According to Google Scholar,[23] his four most cited articles are:

Higher education administration

After 20 years in academia administering his own research program as a faculty member and the research programs of others as a journal editor, ad hoc peer reviewer, and review panel member for funding agencies, Refinetti took on the position of academic dean at a satellite campus of the University of South Carolina in 2006. In 2014, he moved to Idaho as the chair of the department of psychology at Boise State University. In 2020, he moved to Louisiana as the chair of the department of psychology at the University of New Orleans.[24]
