The Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics (JNET) has announced the appointment of Professor Efstathios Michaelides of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) as the new American editor, effective March 2009. He will succeed current editor Ranja Narayanan, a University of Florida researcher who announced his retirement earlier this year.
In his new role, Michaelides will work with the journal's editorial board and external reviewers to solicit, recommend and review articles for publication. Michaelides' career includes nearly 30 years of research in thermodynamics and related topics at various universities in Texas, Louisiana and Delaware. Additionally, he has published 117 journal articles on mechanical engineering and has presented more than 150 conference proceedings to industry peers.
JNET aims to connect science and engineering by presenting new phenomena in non-equilibrium thermodynamics; discussing analytics or fuzzy models in the field; and offering new methods to describe non-equilibrium phenomena. Its audience includes physicists, chemists, mathematicians and computer scientists as well as mechanical, chemical, biochemical and aerospace engineers.
