The European Physical Journal Applied Physics Announces New Editors-in-Chief

Details

Published on 24 September 2024

We are pleased to share news of the appointment of two distinguished scientists as incoming Editors-in-Chief of The European Physical Journal Applied Physics, effective July 2024. Professor Philippe Moreau and Professor Vincent Mauchamp will jointly lead the journal, bringing their extensive expertise and leadership to the forefront of applied physics research. Philippe Moreau is an alumini of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Industries Chimiques (ENSIC in Nancy, France : "Grande Ecole" specialised in Chemical Engeneering). During his PhD at University of Nantes, his focus became redirected towards the study of materials and their characterisation through advanced spectroscopies (XAS, EELS...) and electronic structure calculations. While at the Cavendish Laboratory (Cambridge, England) in his postdoctoral position under the supervision of Prof. A. Howie, he developped an expertise in Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy in a Transmission Electron Microscope. He became Assistant Professor at the University of Nantes in 1998 and full Professor in 2019 and teaches inorganic chemistry, electron microscopy and, photon and electron based spectroscopies. He is now assisting in managing a group of 50 members developing research on materials for storage and conversion of energy.

Vincent Mauchamp is Professor at the department of Physics of the University of Poitiers. After a master’s degree in Condensed Matter Physics, he received a PhD in materials science from the University of Nantes where he worked on the characterization of lithium-ion battery electrodes using Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy. After a post-doc at the INSA Lyon, he joined the Pprime institute in 2007. His research activities are now mainly focused on the electronic structure, electronic properties and functionalization of two-dimensional transition metal carbides - so-called MXenes - as probed by different kinds of spectroscopies (EELS, XPS, optical spectroscopy, XAS, etc), and combined to Density Functional Theory simulations.

The appointment of Professor Moreau and Professor Mauchamp marks a significant milestone for EPJ AP, as the journal continues to evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of applied physics. Their combined expertise and leadership are expected to guide EPJ AP towards new heights of scientific discovery and dissemination. Ariana Fuga, Journals Publisher, and the whole team at EDP Sciences extend their warmest welcome to Professors Moreau and Mauchamp. We look forward to their contributions in advancing the journal's mission: to publish high-quality research addressing the latest challenges and opportunities in the discipline.

We also thank the outgoing Editors-in-Chief Prof. Suzanne Giorgio and Prof. Damien Jacob, who provided 4 years of expertise and leadership.
