The American Physical Society (APS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jean-Michel Raimond, Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC), France, and Cristina Marchetti, Syracuse University, as joint Editors for Physical Review X (PRX) to succeed Jorge Pullin, Louisiana State University.
Pullin served as the Editor of PRX since its inception in 2011. His extraordinary commitment to the development of the journal throughout its first five years has played a crucial role in bringing about its fast rise as one of the top physics journals. The APS thanks him most warmly for his remarkable contributions. “The first five years of PRX has set the stage for its continued growth in quality, impact, and stature,” said Daniel Kulp, APS Editorial Director and Acting Editor in Chief. “We are excited for PRX’s future and to have Jean-Michel and Cristina on board to lead its further rise.”
Raimond and Marchetti begin their terms on March 1, 2016. “I am both honored and eager to work with the APS, the Editorial Board of PRX, and its editors to ensure it becomes a natural and preferred publication venue for the most interesting and influential physics research,” said Raimond. “As PRX’s reputation for quality and impact grows, I look forward to broadening its reach both within and beyond the physics community to publish the highest quality papers from all areas of physics,” said Marchetti.
Raimond is currently professor of physics at UPMC and leads a research group at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (Collège de France, ENS, CNRS, UPMC). Marchetti is currently the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Physics at Syracuse University.
