Abstract
Journal of Materials Chemistry profiles the new chair of the Editorial Board, George Malliaras, and new Board member, Vincent Rotello.
George Malliaras is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University, and the L.B. Knight Director of the Cornell NanoScale Facility. George received a B.S. in Physics from the Aristotle University (Greece), and a PhD (cum laude), in Mathematics and Physical Sciences from the University of Groningen (the Netherlands). His thesis work was on photorefractivity in polymers. George then did a one year postdoc at the University of Groningen and a two year postdoc at the IBM Almaden Research Center (California), working on organic light emitting diodes. He joined Cornell University in 1999 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. George is a member of the American Physical Society and the Materials Research Society. He is the recipient of the NSF Young Investigator Award, the DuPont Young Professor Grant, and a Cornell College of Engineering Teaching Award. His research interests span several aspects of organic electronics, including structure and morphology of organic thin films, their processing and patterning, charge transport and injection in organic semiconductors, device physics, and applications of organic devices in biosensors. |

Vincent Rotello is the Charles A. Goessmann Professor of Chemistry at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. He received his B.S. from Illinois Institute of Technology in 1985 and his Ph.D. in 1990 from Yale University with Harry Wasserman in the area of natural products synthesis. From 1990 to 1993, he was an NSF postdoctoral fellow with Julius Rebek Jr. at MIT in the area of host–guest chemistry. Since 1993, Professor Rotello has been at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, as an Assistant Professor from 1993 to 1998, Associate Professor (1998–2001), Professor (2001–2005) and Charles A Goessmann Professor of Chemistry (since 2005), with appointments in Polymer Science and Engineering, and the Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology. He has been the recipient of the NSF CAREER, and Cottrell Scholar award, as well as the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar and the Sloan Fellowships. At the University of Massachusetts he has been the recipient of the Samuel Conti Research Fellowship as well as the Chancellor's Medal. His research program is broadly based in the field of self-assembly, with projects in bionanotechnology and polymer and nanoparticle-based materials. Emerging research areas in Professor Rotello's group include self-assembled nanoelectronic materials, functional protein- and DNA-based nanocomposites, and nanoparticle-based sensors.
