Hollis Joins JTST Editorial Team

I am glad to announce that Dr. Kendall Hollis, technical staff member, Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL), has joined the JTST editorial team as an associate editor. Dr. Hollis received his B.S. in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois in 1990. He did graduate study in plasma physics/material processing at the University of WisconsinMadison and performed graduate research at Sandia National Laboratories with Mark Smith and Richard Neiser, finishing his Ph.D. in 1995. He became a staff member at LANL in the Materials Science and Technology group in 1996 and has worked since then on the Powder Metallurgy team and the Beryllium team. His areas of research at LANL have included arc physics, cathodic cleaning, powder atomization, powder consolidation, fusion energy high heat flux components, inert ceramics for reactive molten metal processing, thermal spray (plasma, wire arc, flame), deposition welding, electrospark deposition, laser and thermal emission diagnostics, and process control. Dr. Hollis will be responsible for the preparation of the front and back matter in the regular issues of JTST. Dr. Jan Ilavsky had handled these responsibilities as an associate editor for the past four years. I want personally to thank Dr. Ilavsky very much for the hard work he did consistently, issue after issue, over those years. He and his team of Jiri Matejicek, Andrew Gouldstone, and Rogerio Lima were dedicated to producing high-quality materials for each JTST issue. It was a great pleasure to work with him.

Dr. Hollis is recognized for his high-quality contributions as a leading scientist in the field, his good knowledge of the national and international thermal spray community, his judgment, and his long-term commitment to the ASM Thermal Spray Society. He is perfectly suited to assume these associate editor responsibilities. Dr. Hollis joins Dr. Seiji Kuroda and Prof. Armelle Vardelle, who have been JTST associate editors since 2005. Dr. Kuroda is the Director of the Thermal Spray Group at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba, Japan, and also a guest professor at Tokyo University of Science and Chiba Institute of Technology. Prof. Vardelle is a professor at the National Engineering School of Limoges, ENSIL, France, where she is in charge of the research policy for four departments, and chair of the Department of Materials Engineering. She is a founding member and administrator of CITRA, the Engineering Center in Surface Finishing and Coatings. Dr. KurodaÕs and Prof. VardelleÕs main responsibilities are the peer-review process of papers submitted by European and Asian authors as well as papers in their respective fields of expertise.
