We are delighted to announce that Professor Claire Adjiman (Imperial College London, UK) has been appointed as the new Editor-in-Chief for MSDE. Furthermore, we are pleased that Claire will be joined by Professor Andrew Ferguson (University of Chicago, USA) as Deputy Editor-in-Chief for the journal.
Claire Adjiman, MSDE Editor-in-Chief
Claire Adjiman is Professor of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. Her research is focused on multiscale process and molecular/materials design, including the development of design methods, property prediction techniques and optimisation algorithms. She is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, an International Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the US National Academy of Engineering as well as a Fellow of IChemE and the RSC. At Imperial College London, she was a Founding Co-Director of the Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering and is Director of the Centre for Process Systems Engineering.
“The MSDE proposition, at the crossroads between pressing societal needs and emerging scientific innovation, is timely and compelling. The journal excels at bringing together researchers across often disparate fields of research to form a “molecular systems design community”.” – Claire Adjiman
Andrew Ferguson, MSDE Deputy Editor-in-Chief
Andrew Ferguson is an Associate Professor at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. His research uses molecular simulation, statistical thermodynamics, and machine learning to understand and engineer self-assembling and biomolecular materials. Ferguson is the recipient of a 2020 Dreyfus Foundation Award for Machine Learning in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering and a 2018/19 Junior Moulton Medal of the Institution of Chemical Engineers.
“I feel privileged to work with the RSC, IChemE, Claire and the MSDE board and Editorial office to collaboratively steward the journal to continued future success.”
– Andrew Ferguson
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our founding Editorial Board Chair Professor Juan de Pablo for his 8 years of service to the journal and wider molecular engineering community.
