Meet the new Chemical Science Associate Editors
In 2021, we have been delighted to welcome new Associate Editors to our Chemical Science Editorial Board, from across the chemical sciences. Read on to find out more about their research and their hopes for the journal or check out our .
As the 欧美AV’s flagship open access journal and a leading publication in chemical research, we want Chemical Science to have an editorial board that is dynamic and inclusive – one that features a diverse range of expert researchers. That’s why we’re excited to welcome these six associate editors to our team!
Professor Ning Jiao, Peking University
Professor Jiao’s research focuses on new methodology development in synthetic chemistry. His group mainly focus on heteroatom incorporation reactions, such as oxygenation, nitrogenation and halogenation reactions towards the synthesis and discovery of functional molecules.
As an Associate Editor, I’m so delighted to be able to help to continue to make Chemical Science the most progressive, exciting and impactful leading chemistry journal.
about Ning, his research and what he hopes to achieve in his new role with the journal.
Professor Subi George, JNCASR
Professor George is currently leading an Organic Materials and Supramolecular Chemistry group at JNCASR. His current research interests focus on organic responsive and adaptive materials, functional supramolecular polymers, supramolecular chirality and organic optoelectronic materials.
As scientists, we are lucky – we never stop learning, and we have the academic freedom of trying new things every day.

Prof Hemamala Karunadasa, Stanford University
Professor Karunadasa focuses on the preparation of solid-state materials using the tools of solution-state chemistry. Through careful design, Hemamala and her group prepare new materials that can be utilised for clean energy applications.
We have sometimes had a hard time publishing our papers that are more fundamental even when it sets the stage for later technological advances, but I think that Chemical Science is very receptive to these papers.
We caught up with Hemamala to celebrate our 10th anniversary, read the full interview here
Prof Jinlong Gong, Tianjin University
Professor Gong’s group researches heterogeneous catalysis and kinetics with a focus on catalytic conversions of small molecules, production of hydrogen energy, and syntheses and applications of nanostructured catalytic materials.
One challenge that I have found is in making the transition from an area of research that you are comfortable with into something that can be more challenging, but has the potential to be very rewarding.
on his research and the biggest challenges he has faced in his career.
Prof Graeme Day, University of Southampton
Professor Day’s research concerns the development of computational methods for modelling the organic molecular solid state. He develops computational methods for materials discovery and prediction of crystal structures.
I’m excited by the promise of predictive computational methods for transforming the way that we discover new materials.

Professor Tanja Junkers, Monash University
Professor Tanja Junkers is a polymer chemist. Her research group work to control and manipulate the structure of polymers in any possible way with the aim to create sophisticated materials that can mimic materials made by Nature. Tanja’s group now also explore machine learning and how this can be utilised to advance chemistry and chemical synthesis itself.
Chemists, on the whole, are very traditional, and chemistry is basically still carried out the same as it was 150 years ago. I think that’s about to change. We are finally going to see digitisation of the chemical sciences, and that will change the way we do chemistry fundamentally.
