I am very pleased to announce that Professor Seth Marder (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) will be the next Journal of Materials Chemistry Editorial Board Chair from January 2011, on the ‘retirement’ of the current Chair, Professor George Malliaras (Centre Microélectronique de Provence of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint Etienne). During George’s term as Chair of the Editorial Board, we have seen the journal move from strength to strength, with a growth of 125% in size, and 10% incresase in impact factor, to its curent value of 4.80. Thank you, George, for all your help and support.
Seth Marder
Seth has been involved with Journal of Materials Chemistry for a number of years, as an author, referee, and more recently as a member of the Advisory Board. In 2009, he also organised a very successful themed issue on organic non-linear optics.
Seth is the director of the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics (COPE) and his research interests include electronic and optical materials. The materials being developed by Seth have a wide variety of applications from optical storage to dyes for biological imaging.
