About the editors
Chief Editor: Alison Wright
Alison joined Nature's News and Views team in 2001, and now leads the editorial team of Nature Physics. A graduate of the University of Manchester, she completed her PhD in high-energy particle physics in 1995, having conducted the research at Germany's DESY facility. Her postdoctoral research, based at the UK's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and then at CERN in Geneva, was focused on two-photon interactions in electron-positron collisions at CERN's LEP collider.
Senior Editor: Edmund Gerstner
Ed has been an Associate Editor at Nature Materials and Nature, and Editor of the Nature Physics Portal and the NPG Materials Update. He obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Sydney in 1997, and gained postdoctoral research experience both in academia (at the universities of Sydney, Cambridge and Surrey) and in industry (at Philips Research Labs, Redhill, UK). During his research career, his main interests were in the fields of semiconductor device physics and the growth and characterization of novel electronic materials.
Senior Editor: May Chiao
Before joining Nature Physics, May was an Associate Editor at Nature and Nature Materials. She undertook postdoctoral research at the Solid State Laboratory at ETH-Zürich and the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, investigating fundamental properties of superconducting and magnetic states by tuning quantum critical systems using temperature, pressure and magnetic field. She obtained her PhD in 1999 from McGill University where she studied heat transport in high-temperature superconductors in the vortex state.
Senior Editor: Andreas Trabesinger
Throughout his doctoral and post-doctoral studies, Andreas focused on various aspects of nuclear magnetic resonance, including application to monitoring brain metabolism and NMR at very low magnetic fields. After graduating from the physics department of ETH-Zürich in 2000, he conducted research at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and in the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry at ETH, as well as at the Department of Chemistry at Berkeley, where he collaborated with the condensed-matter and atomic physics groups.
