New Editor in Chief for Europhysics Letters (EPL)
Professor Volker Dose, an active member of the physics community for 40 years, has been appointed Editor-in-Chief of Europhysics Letters (EPL).
Professor Dose took his PhD at the University of Zürich in 1967 and in 1971 was appointed Professor at the University of Würzburg. Later, he was Director and Scientific Fellow at the Max-Planck-Institute of Plasma Physics in Garching, and since 1991 has also been Full Professor at the University of Bayreuth. His research experience is diverse, including surface and plasma physics, collisions, magnetism and statistics.
Professor Dose will take on the role of Editor-in-Chief from Professor Denis Jérome (Université Paris-Sud, Orsay) at the next meeting of the EPL Editorial Board to take place in Paris, 11 - 12 May 2007.
Following his appointment, Professor Dose said, "This is an exciting time for EPL. In 2007, the journal starts the next phase of its life: a new vision as a truly international journal at the forefront of physics, a new website, and new journal cover and format. I look forward to working with the Editorial Board and the international scientific community to grow our journal".
He continued, "I would also like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Professor Denis Jérome, whose leadership and commitment during his tenure over the past three years has made EPL the foremost European physics letters journal."
EPL is owned by a partnership of 17 European physical societies and published under the scientific responsibility of the European Physical Society by Società Italiana di Fisica, EDP Sciences and IOP Publishing.
