The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) has announced the selection of F. (Shadi) Shahedipour-Sandvik, from the University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY), as the new editor-in-chief of the Journal of Electronic Materials. Shahedipour-Sandvik holds a Ph.D. from the University of Missouri-Columbia in Solid State Physics and Materials Physics and is associate professor of nanoengineering at the newly merged SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE)/SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNYIT).
For the next three months, she will work alongside Suzanne Mohney, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Pennsylvania State University, as co-editor during the period of editorial transition. Mohney will be stepping down from the journal's editor-in-chief role after a successful eight-year tenure.
Shahedipour-Sandvik, who has served as a JEM associate editor since 2012, will direct editorial activities and the peer-review process to ensure the thorough vetting of electronic materials research reports by respected colleagues before publication. She will also oversee a number of editor positions and serve on and advise the journal's Editorial Oversight Committee as she helps to impact the direction of research in specific fields by selecting and highlighting critical scientific findings.
Published by TMS and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), in partnership with Springer Science+Business Media, the Journal of Electronic Materials reports on the science and technology of electronic materials while examining new applications for semiconductors, magnetic alloys, insulators, and optical and display materials. It publishes papers of interest to both nonspecialists and specialists in the electronic materials field. The journal contains technical articles detailing critical new developments in the electronic materials field, as well as invited and contributed review papers on topics of current interest.
