Hesam Askari named guest editor for JOM

Hesam Askari has been named guest editor in a special issue on "Interface Engineering and Property Functionalization" for JOM, the journal of the TMS (Minerals, Metals and Materials) Society, published by Springer. Zarkadoula is also serving another two-year term as JOM Advisor.

JOM is a technical, peer-reviewed journal devoted to exploring the many aspects of materials science and engineering within the broad topical areas of light metals, structural materials, functional materials, extraction and processing, and materials processing and manufacturing.

Scope: Sophisticated computational and experimental advancements have enabled probing the role of atomic-scale arrangements at interfaces and surfaces in macroscopic properties of materials. This provides opportunities and pathways to tune the mechanical, electrical, and optical properties of complex materials through designing and manipulating atomic arrangements at the interfaces. This topic welcomes articles of computational and experimental work that showcase such structure-property relationship and functionalization at atomic scales in the areas including but not limited to grain interfaces, thin films, topological and electrical materials, surface modification techniques and coatings.
