Professor Eva Hemmer joins the Associate Editor team

Welcome to Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances!

We are delighted to welcome Professor Eva Hemmer, University of Ottawa, Canada, as a new Associate Editor working across Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances. Eva Hemmer is an Associate Professor of Materials Chemistry at the University of Ottawa. She received her PhD (2008) in materials science from Saarland University, Germany. After a postdoctoral experience at Tokyo University of Science, Japan, with Prof. K. Soga (2009-2012), she moved to Canada to become a joint Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellow with Profs. F. Vetrone and F. Légaré at INRS-EMT, Montreal (2012-2015). In 2016, Eva joined the University of Ottawa, where her research team focused on new designs of upconverting and near-infrared-emitting rare-earth-based nanoparticles for bioimaging, optoelectronic, and optomagnetic applications.

“I have been reviewing research papers for quite some time now, including for the Nanoscale family, and always enjoyed it as a great opportunity to get to see brand new research in materials chemistry that is also relevant to my own work on optical nanomaterials. I am very excited to take on this new role as member of the editorial board, looking forward to deepening and broadening this experience when engaging with authors, reviewers, and the editorial team.” – Professor Eva Hemmer

We welcome you to submit your latest work on nanomaterials for bioimaging, optoelectronics and magnetics to her editorial office for consideration.
