Editorial board
Overview
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.
Editor-In-Chief

Professor Giovanni Volpe, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Giovanni Volpe is Professor of Physics at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, where he leads the Soft Matter Lab. His research lies at the intersection of soft matter, biophysics, and artificial intelligence, focusing on active matter, optical manipulation, and intelligent imaging. He has authored more than 200 scientific publications and several books, and has led and contributed to several international projects that have significantly benefited the optics and photonics community within the European Physical Society (EPS), OPTICA, SPIE, and the Institute of Physics (IOP).
Prof. Volpe has also founded several start-up companies, including IFLAI AB. His work combines fundamental physics with computational and experimental innovation to advance the understanding and control of complex systems.
