Journal of Materials Chemistry C would like to give a warm welcome to our newest Associate Editor, Dr Martyn McLachlan, who joined us at the start of April. Dr McLachlan is a Reader (Associate Professor) and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Materials, Imperial College London. Previously he held a Royal Academy of Engineering/EPRSC Research Fellowship (2007-2012) at the same institute. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Glasgow in the Department of Chemistry. 
His research interests focus on the development of solution processed interlayer and electrode materials for photovoltaic and light emitting devices. Of particular interest to him are the correlation of processing-structure-performance relationships of solution processed organic, inorganic and hybrid devices and the characterisation of their surfaces and buried interfaces. His research is aimed at the integration of the materials and techniques developed into large volume manufacturing of plastic electronics. He has published more than 63 peer-reviewed articles and has been invited to give numerous lectures at international conferences.
Further information about Martyn McLachlan can be found on his webpage.
