Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Energy - Meet the Editors-in-Chief
H. Martin R. Wilkening studied Chemistry at the Leibniz University Hannover and obtained his doctoral degree in Physical Chemistry 2005 with a dissertation on ‘Ultraslow Li Motions in Solids’. His PhD thesis was awarded the Starck-Promotionspreis of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) and the Wissenschaftspreis Hannover. In 2009 he received the ADUC annual award of the GDCh for his contributions to spin-alignment echo NMR useful to detect ultraslow ionic motions. Since 2011 he has been a Full Professor at the Graz University of Technology. In his workgroup, ion dynamics in solids are studied by NMR and conductivity spectroscopy with a focus on nanostructured and amorphous energy materials including mechanosynthesized non-equilibrium compounds.

Jung-Kun Lee is William Kepler Whiteford Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh. He is a materials scientist with a specialty in functional materials for energy and electronic applications. His research interests are placed on nanoscale material design for energy application; electric, optical, and magnetic properties of materials; advanced processing and characterization of ceramic materials; and corrosion behavior of structural materials for nuclear energy application. Before he joined Pitt in 2007, he worked for the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) as a technical staff member and a postdoctoral fellow. He received his doctorate in materials science and engineering from Seoul National University. He was an NSF Career Awardee and a LANL Director’s Postdoctoral Fellow.
