Ezio Peri è professore ordinario di Entomologia agraria presso l’Università di Palermo, Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Alimentari e Forestali (SAAF). Nel 1991 si è laureato in Scienze Agrarie presso l’Università degli Studi di Palermo e nel 1998 ha conseguito il titolo di Dottore di Ricerca in Entomologia agraria presso l’Università di Napoli “Federico II”. Dal 1998 presta servizio presso l’Università di Palermo, come assegnista di ricerca (1999-2003), ricercatore (2005-15) e professore associato (2015-2022). Ha svolto periodi di ricerca presso: Institut de Recherche en Biologie Végétale – Université de Montréal, Canada; Lincoln University, New Zealand; Chemical Ecology Laboratory – Department of Crop Sciences, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Alnarp, Sweden; Insect Chemical Ecology Laboratory (USDA), Beltsville, Maryland, USA). Dal 2018 è membro del comitato di coordinamento della Sezione Agraria della Società Entomologica Italiana.
Le sue principali linee di ricerca riguardano il ruolo dei semiochimici nelle interazioni pianta-insetti fitofagi-parassitoidi in un contesto multitrofico e le strategie sostenibili per controllo degli insetti fitofagi e degli insetti delle derrate. Ha pubblicato circa 100 lavori su riviste nazionali e internazionali e alcuni capitoli di libri per editori internazionali.

Ezio Peri is full professor of Agricultural Entomology at the University of Palermo, Department of Agricultural, Food, and Forest Sciences (SAAF).
In 1991 he graduated at the University of Palermo and in 1998 he got his PhD in Agricultural Entomology at the University of Naples “Federico II”. Since 2006 he has been working at the University of Palermo as a post-doctoral fellow (1999-2003), assistant professor (2005-15), and associate professor (2015-2022). Visiting researcher at the Institut de Recherche en Biologie Végétale – Université de Montréal, Canada; Lincoln University, New Zealand; Chemical Ecology Laboratory – Department of Crop Sciences, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Alnarp, Sweden; Insect Chemical Ecology Laboratory (USDA), Beltsville, Maryland, USA.
Since 2018 is a member of the coordination committee of the Agricultural Section of the Italian Entomological Society.
His main research topics focus on the role of semiochemicals in plant-insect herbivores- parasitoid interactions in a multitrophic context and on sustainable strategies for the control of herbivorous and stored product pests. He has published about 100 scientific articles on national and international journals and some book chapters for international editors.
