Congratulations Professor Marder

08 Apr 2015

On behalf of the Materials Horizons Editorial Office I would like to congratulate Professor Seth Marder, Chair of Materials Horizons, on his receipt of the MRS Mid-Career Researcher Award.

The Mid-Career Researcher Award is awarded for exceptional achievements and notable leadership in the materials field. Seth Marder was awarded this honour for:

“For establishing fundamental relationships between the chemical structure of organic molecules and their optical and electronic properties, thereby profoundly impacting how the scientific community designs optimized molecular structures for use in nonlinear optical applications”

Seth Marder is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology with over 400 peer reviewed publications, the recipient of the ACS Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award and is a fellow of multiple scientific communities, including the Royal Society of Chemistry.

More information about this award can be found here.

Our new Scientific Editor Martina Stenzel

29 Aug 2014

Materials Horizons is delighted to welcome Martina Stenzel as our new Scientific Editor.

Martina studied chemistry at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, before completing her PhD in 1999 at the Institute of Applied Macromolecular Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany. She currently holds the position of full professor at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia where she originally started working as a DAAD Postdoctoral Fellow. Her research interests encompass the synthesis of functional polymers with complex architectures such as glycopolymers and other polymers for biomedical applications, especially polymers with in-build metal complexes for the delivery of metal-based anti-cancer drugs.

She has also published more than 200 peer reviewed papers and 8 book chapters and has attracted more than 9000 citations so far. To find out more about Martina, please do have a read of her interview in our sister publication, Chemical Communications below:

Congratulations Seth & Zhenan!

23 May 2014

Professor Seth Marder, Chair of the Materials Horizons Editorial Board, has been internationally recognised by the Materials Research Society as an outstanding member with sustained and distinguished contributions to the field of materials science. They have recognised his work by honouring him as a Fellow of the Materials Research Society. Established in 2008, MRS Fellows are expected to demonstrate a dedication to the advancement of materials research and is a lifetime appointment.

Professor Marder (Georgia Institute of Technology) was selected “For seminal contributions to fundamental understanding of the relationships between the chemical structure of organic molecules and their electronic and optical, including nonlinear optical, properties.” He is currently working on research into organic materials, optical materials, electronics materials and surface modification.

The Materials Horizons Editorial Office would like to extend our personal congratulations to Professor Marder on this outstanding honour and take the opportunity to thank him for the work he does as the Chair of the Materials Horizons Editorial Board.

For more information on Professor Marder, please visit his home page.

We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Professor Zhenan Bao, Chemical Science Associate Editor and Materials Horizons Advisory Board member, who has also been honoured as a MRS Fellow this year. They join the long list of people honoured by the Materials Research Society for their work in materials science.

Congratulations Seth & Zhenan!

Materials Horizons author profile: Professor Shu-Hong Yu

11 Nov 2013

Prof. Shu-Hong Yu is currently the Head of the Division of Nanomaterials & Chemistry at the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Science at the Microscale, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and the Deputy Dean of the School of Chemistry & Materials, USTC. His research interests include bio-inspired synthesis and self-assembly of new nanostructured materials and nanocomposites, and their related properties. A very recent focus involves the scale-up synthesis of high quality ultrathin nanowires and their macroscopic-scale assembly. Find out more about Shu-Hong Yu’s research by visiting his research lab homepage.

Prof. Shu-Hong Yu has authored and co-authored more than 350 refereed journal publications, and 16 invited book chapters. His work has been cited 11,639 times, and has a h-index of 59. He has supervised 37 PhD students to completion at the USTC and currently supervises or co-supervises 25 PhD students.

Professor Shu-Hong Yu is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), and serves as an advisory/editorial board member of the journals Chemical Science, Materials Horizons, Nano Research, CrystEngComm, Part. Part. Syst. Charact. and Current Nanoscience. His recent awards include the Chem. Soc. Rev. Emerging Investigator Award (2010) and the Roy-Somiya Medal of the International Solvothermal and Hydrothermal Association (ISHA) (2010).

Why did you choose Materials Horizons to publish your exciting work?
I chose Materials Horizons for this Communication because this journal is a totally new flagship materials science journal launched by a very experienced publisher. I believe that our results published in this emerging journal will receive more exposure and broad attention in the community.

How did you find the Materials Horizons publication process?
The publishing and reviewing process was faster and highly efficient.

What topics would you like to see covered in future issues of Materials Horizons?
I think some coverage of advances in synthetic methodologies of functional nanomaterials, self-assembly and processing of nanoscale building blocks and their practical applications in diverse fields.

Shu-Hong Yu’s Communication article A shape-memory scaffold for macroscale assembly of functional nanoscale building blocks will appear in Issue 1 of Materials Horizons, and is free to access online!
