Professor Martina Stenzel takes up role as Editorial Board Chair for Materials Horizons

Professor Martina Stenzel, of the University of New South Wales, has taken over from Professor Seth Marder as Editorial Board Chair of Materials Horizons.

Martina has been with the journal for some time – serving as Scientific Editor on the Editorial Board.

She says, "I have been with Materials Horizons since the beginning of the journal, and I always liked how the journal tried to involve researchers at various stages of their career. Next to the traditional advisory board staffed with established researchers, we set up a community board of young researchers. I am very much looking forward working with this board to hear their thoughts on publishing and what a publisher can do to help young researchers. For me it is important to be inclusive and have a journal that represents all researchers and is respectful of their opinion. As Editorial Board Chair I would like to see that Material Horizons reflects the changes in science and the society."

Martina Stenzel studied chemistry at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, before completing her PhD in 1999 at the Institute of Applied Macromolecular Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany. She then started working as a postdoctoral Fellow at the UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia, before being appointed as lecture in 2002 at the same University.

In 2012 she was promoted to full Professor and is now UNSW Scientia Professor and ARC (Australian Research Council) Laureate Fellow. In 2018 she was elected as Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. Her research interest is focused on the synthesis of functional polymers nanoparticles and their use as drug delivery carriers. Martina has been a Scientific Editor on the Materials Horizons Editorial Board since June 2014.

Outgoing Chair Professor Seth Marder has worked with the journal for the last 8 years, and stepped down from his role earlier this month.

He says: "I have been with Materials Horizons since the beginning of the journal, and I always liked how the journal tried to involve researchers at various stages of their career.

We have really enjoyed working with him towards his vision of a new journal serving the materials science community and would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his many contributions throughout this time.

"We are delighted to welcome Martina as the new Chair and we are very much looking forward to work with her more closely during the next years to further drive the journal forward and continue its success since its launch."
