Professor David Haddleton
Editor-in-Chief, Polymer Chemistry
David Haddleton is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Warwick, UK. Professor Haddleton's research centres on controlled polymerisation to give macromolecules of designed, desired and targeted structure. Work is directed to the synthesis of polymers one monomer at a time in an attempt to approach the degree of sophistication exhibited by natural polymers. An overriding aspect of all the work is the desire to produce polymers by commercially accessible processes for biosciences and materials applications.
Associate Editor
Professor Eva Marie Harth
Associate Editor, Polymer Chemistry
Eva Harth was born in Cologne, Germany and studied chemistry at the University of Bonn and the University of Zurich, Switzerland. In 1994 she joined the group of Prof. K. Muellen at the MPI for Polymer Research, obtaining her PhD in 1998 for work in the area of fullerene adducts and polymers. A postdoctoral fellowship with CPIMA (NSF-Center for Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies) brought her to the IBM Almaden Research Center, California USA, to work under the direction of Prof. Craig J. Hawker focusing on the development of new living free polymerization techniques and approaches to nanoscopic materials. In 2001 she joined XenoPort, Inc. as a Staff Scientist investigating enabling technologies for the increased bioavailability of macromolecular therapeutics. After the extensive industrial experience she started at Vanderbilt University as Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry in 2004 with a secondary appointment in the Department of Pharmacology, Vanderbilt Medical School. In 2007 she was awarded with the NSF CAREER Award for young faculty and her research advances delivery technologies across challenging biological barriers and towards highly vascular tumors.

Professor Yuliang Yang
Associate Editor, Polymer Chemistry
Yuliang Yang is a macromolecular chemist and a professor at Fudan University. He received his undergraduate education in Chemistry at Fudan University in 1977, and his Ph.D. in 1984 in Polymer Science from Fudan University. From 1986 to 1988 he was on the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research as a postdoct. with Prof. H. W. Spiess. He has been engaged in theoretical and experimental researches on polymer physics including phase separation and pattern evolution of complex polymeric system, polyelectrolyte, polymer membrane, Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals (PDLC) materials, etc. He has co-authored about 250 papers and supervised about 30 Ph.D. students. Professor Yuliang Yang became an Academician of Chinese Academic Science in 2003. He received Science and Technology Progress Award First Prize in 2003 from China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation and Science and Technology Progress Award Second Prize in 2004, Science and Technology Progress Award from Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation in 2007 and title of Outstanding Scientist Award from Qiushi Foundation in 2008.
