Frontiers in Materials has named Professor Nicola Pugno as its new Field Chief Editor. Professor Pugno will lead an international Editorial Board of experts and oversee the strategic development of the journal, taking it from one strength to the next.
Professor Pugno is a Professor of Solid and Structural Mechanics at the University of Trento, a Professor of Materials Science at the Queen Mary University of London and a member of the Scientific and Technical Committee of the Italian Space Agency. He has been internationally recognised for his outstanding work in the areas of nanomechanics and smart materials, and was recently awarded the prestigious IOM3’s Griffith Medal & Prize.
Professor Pugno has pioneered works on carbon nanotubes, graphene, bio-inspired materials, such as gecko-inspired super adhesive surfaces, lotus leaf-inspired super-hydrophobicity and self-cleaning surfaces, limpet teeth-inspired super-strong materials, spider silk-inspired super-tough materials and bone-inspired self-healing materials. Through his broad expertise and leadership, Professor Pugno will drive the journal’s mission to be at the forefront of materials science, while stimulating the development of pioneering multi-disciplinary research.
As a Field Chief Editor, Professor Pugno’s vision is to provide a forum for materials research to be more widely visible and accessible via the means of open-access and he strives to make Frontiers in Materials the go-to research resource for materials scientists.
