About
Max DeLeonardis is the founder, publisher, and Editor-in-Chief of OzoneNews, the flagship science publication of Ozone Network News LLC. He leads a network of digital news brands dedicated to Earth science, atmospheric research, space exploration, and climate reporting.
He earned his undergraduate degree and his Ph.D. from North Carolina State University, completing his doctoral work in Biomedical Engineering in 2024 through the joint graduate program with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research training spans quantitative data analysis, fluid dynamics, and complex biological systems, giving him direct expertise in the physical processes that govern Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and living systems.
His scientific background directly informs his editorial oversight of OzoneNews. Under his direction, the network reports on ozone layer recovery, atmospheric chemistry, climate dynamics, oceanography, geology, and space science with the rigor of peer-reviewed research. He personally enforces the network’s editorial standards: named authorship on every article, primary-source verification, and a published corrections policy for full transparency.
