He is succeeding to Prof. Richard Todd, from University of Oxford’s Department of Materials, UK, who has been managing the Journal since July 2010 as editor in Chief and to Sir Richard Brook, also from University of Oxford’s Department of Materials, who ran the Journal since its creation in 1988 until 2010.
