We wish a very warm welcome to our new Chemical Science Associate Editor Hemamala Karunadasa!
Hemamala Karunadasa is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University and a Faculty Scientist at the SLAC National Lab. Her group is invested in gaining synthetic control over extended ionic solids, with a focus on halide perovskites. They seek to both improve technologically important materials as well as to design new materials with unprecedented properties.
Hemamala was born in Sri Lanka and attended school in Colombo. She studied solid-state chemistry at Princeton University, receiving her A.B. in 2003. She moved to molecular inorganic chemistry for my Ph.D., which she received from UC Berkeley in 2009, and for her postdoctoral studies at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and at the California Institute of Technology.
As an associate editor, Hemamala looks forward to receiving papers that provide fundamental insights into obtaining desirable properties from new materials.
