Editorial Transitions for Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance Dear Reader, In an editorial in March 2020, I had mentioned that an announcement would be made in the summer or early fall of two new associate editors for the Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance (JMEP). Two vacancies were left with the departure of PR Subramanian and Jeff Waldman whose associate editor terms officially ended at the close of 2019. In the intervening months, another development created a third opening for an associate editor position. One of JMEPÕs highly valued associate editors since 2014, Elvin Beach, was enlisted for the position of deputy editor of ASMÕs Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention. Elvin came on board the editorial team of JMEP at a time when the journal needed a qualified and experienced professional willing to take on the challenges of handling substantially increased submission volume. Over the years, Elvin has contributed much to JMEPÕs growth and success. As we applaud his contributions to JMEP, we wish him continued success in his new role as JFAPÕs deputy editor.
Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance
I am pleased to announce that three highly qualified and consummate professionals with an outstanding record of scholarly accomplishment have agreed to step into the role of associate editor of JMEP. Drs. Natalia Sobczak, Carter Hamilton, and John Tartaglia are our newest associate editors. All of them have contributed to JMEP for many years in multiple roles, including special issue editor, reviewer, editorial committee member, and contributing author. They join the ranks of our two current associate editors who continue to provide exceptional editorial service to our authors – Omar Es-Said of Loyola Marymount University and Sergiy Kalnaus of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. At the start of the current year, we were fortunate to have Bill Frazier step into the role of JMEPÕs editor. Besides handling his onerous dayto-day editorial responsibilities, Bill recently launched an initiative to bring out a focus issue on additive manufacturing. Team JMEP is deeply committed to the journalÕs mission and well-positioned to moving the journal forward. Below are brief profiles of our newest associate editors and their areas of interest and expertise. Natalia Sobczak is a Professor and Department Head at the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of Polish Academy of Sciences at Krako´w, Poland. Until 2019, she was Head of the Center for High-Temperature Studies at Foundry Research Institute at Krako´w and a Professor at the Institute of Precision Mechanics at Warsaw. She has held visiting professor or senior visiting researcher appointments at Lawrence Berkeley Labs, University of Central Florida, Universities of Wisconsin–Madison and Milwaukee, and universities at Clausthal, Grenoble, Osaka, Sendai, Sappo
