It is with great pleasure that we announce the addition of a new Associate Editor for Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A. Beginning on January 1, 2006, we welcome Dr. Srikumar Banerjee to our distinguished group of Associate Editors for the journal. Dr. Banerjee currently serves as Director of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Trombay, Mumbai, India. Dr. Banerjee received his Bachelor of Technology degree and his Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and he has received numerous honors in recognition of his important research contributions, including the Indian National Science Academy (1NSA) Young Scientist Medal (1976), the National Metallurgists' Day Award (1981), the Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar Prize in Engineering Sciences (1989), the Materials Research Society of India (MRSI) Medal (1990), the G.D. Birta Gold Medal of the Indian Institute of Metals (1997), the INSA Prize for Materials Science (2001), the MRSI-Superconductivity and Materials Science Prize (2003), the Indian Nuclear Society Award (2003), and Padma Shri (2005). Notable among his international awards are the Acta Metallurgica Outstanding Paper Awad (1984) and the Humboldt Research Award (2004). Dr. Banerjee is a Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy, the Indian Academy of Sciences, the Indian National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Sciences, India. Dr. Banerjee has held several visiting positions, notably, Senior Visiting Fellow at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England, Alexander yon Humboldt Foundation Fellow and Awardee at the Max-Planck Instittit fttr Metallforschung - Institiit fttr Physik, Stuttgart and Forschungszentrum, Jtilich, Germany, and Visiting Faculty at the University of Cincinnati and the Ohio State University in Ohio. Dr. Banerjee's comprehensive work on the physical metallurgy of zirconium alloys has demonstrated that the subject of phase transformations can be studied in its totality through examples taken from zirconium alloys. He has also carried out extensive basic research on the formation of ordered atomic arrangements in alloys under irradiation. This work provides a basis for analyzing the radiation stability of structural materials strengthened by ordered intermetallic phases. His work on the orderdisorder transition in nickel-molybdenum alloys has resolved longstanding controversies regarding the nature of the short range order and the mechanism of the transition from the short range to the long range ordered state. His studies on the displacement ordering (omega transformation) process in several zirconium and titanium alloys have shown that some intermetallic compounds in these systems can be viewed as a hybrid of displacement and chemical ordering. In the studies on shape memory alloys, contributions he and his colleagues have made include determination and rationalization of the reversion stress which develops during the spring back action of shape memory components, identification of the role of self accommodation of transfor
