Renowned researcher’s lifelong dedication to renewable energy research and policy makes him an ideal fit to lead the publication in an exciting and ever-growing scientific landscape.
AIP Publishing and the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy (JRSE) have announced the appointment of Prof. Zhenhong Lin to the position of Editor-in-Chief.
Lin is a professor in the School of Future Technology at the South China University of Technology in Guangzhou, China and a Distinguished Researcher with the Guangdong Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Laboratory. Notably, he is the second editor-in-chief of an AIP Publishing publication to be based in China.
Established in 2009, JRSE is an interdisciplinary journal exploring the physical sciences, engineering, and societal impacts of renewable and sustainable energy. It prides itself on its ability to publish quickly and respond with speed to the rapid-fire developments of this dramatically expanding field.
According to Lin, that expansion is indicative of unprecedented interest in new, sustainable methods of energy production — and the opportunity to fuel further development through groundbreaking research.
Lin is the author of more than 100 technical articles on energy transition issues, he was a Distinguished Research Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he worked for 14 years prior to his current roles in Guangzhou. Throughout his career, Lin has channeled his deep interest in large-scale issues like climate change, air quality, energy security, and social justice into research focused on helping humanity transition to the broad use of renewable and sustainable energy sources. He is among the world’s foremost researchers and thought leaders in the science behind — and policy surrounding — this increasingly important field and has received numerous committee appointments and awards recognizing his accomplishments.
The Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy is an interdisciplinary journal covering specific areas of renewable and sustainable energy relevant to the physical science and engineering communities. The journal has a strong focus on the integration of disciplines for renewable power technologies at global scales that have the potential to mitigate abrupt climate change. Since volume 12, the journal has increasingly focused on discoveries related to weather-dependent renewable generation (solar and wind).
