The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has announced the appointment of two new co-editors-in-chief for its Micro & Nano Letters journal. Prof. Peter Dobson, specialising in the area of nano-scale science, and Prof. Gwo-Bin Vincent Lee, specialising in micro-scale science, bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this rapid publication online journal.
The recruitment of these editors-in-chief will further cement the IET's commitment to providing essential engineering intelligence to researchers in this field with both editors supporting the broad aims and content of this journal and the imminent addition of open access publishing as an option for authors.
Prof. Gwo-Bin Vincent Lee is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Power Mechanical Engineering at National Tsing Hua University. Prof Lee is active in the field of micro/nanofluidic systems, with his research lying within their biomedical applications.
Prof. Peter Dobson from the University of Oxford is responsible for setting up a new type of Science Park that combines university activities with company R&D, and leads a team that facilitates the rapid transfer of technology and knowledge. He is experienced in a broad range of nanotechnology areas and is currently the Strategic Advisor on Nanotechnology to the Research Councils in the UK.
Launched in 2006, Micro & Nano Letters specialises in the express online publication of short research papers concentrating on the latest advances in miniature and ultra-miniature structures and systems that have at least one dimension ranging from a few tens of micrometres to a few nanometres. The journal offers a rapid route for international dissemination of high-quality research findings generated by researchers from both the micro and nano communities.
