Editorial board

The Editor-in-Chief leads the editorial strategy of the journal and works with the in-house editorial team and the Editorial Board to ensure the journal delivers the highest standards of peer review and coverage of the most significant advances in the field of photonics research. The Editor-in-Chief provides final arbitration for any scientific disputes arising within the peer review process.

The Editor-in-Chief is supported by an Executive Editorial Board who will work with the in-house editorial team to identify emerging hot topics and potential Guest Editors and Editorial Board Members.

The international Editorial Board includes prominent researchers and emerging leaders from all areas of photonics research. They represent all geographic regions and support the rapid peer review of author manuscripts.
