Baer Named Reviews Editor for Journal
Don Baer was selected to serve as the Reviews Editor for Surface and Interface Analysis. This international, refereed journal is devoted to publishing papers on developing and applying techniques for characterizing surfaces, interfaces, and thin films. As the Reviews Editor, Baer will work with world-leading scientists to obtain articles on topics of interest to the journal's audience of materials scientists, physicists, physical chemists, and others. In addition to traditional review articles, he will encourage leading scientists to prepare perspectives on current research directions and technology advances and tutorial articles. At the Department of Energy's EMSL, Baer is the Lead Scientist for Interfacial Chemistry. He is internationally known for applying surface analysis methods to examine the reactive properties of oxides and mineral surfaces, determining behaviors of nanostructured materials, and understanding corrosion processes. He specializes in using surface sensitive techniques to study surface interphase reactions and materials surface chemistry. In the scientific community, Baer is in demand. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 peer-reviewed articles, edited books and special journal issues, and lectured at major conferences. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the AVS and a member of the American Physical Society and the Electrochemical Society, among others. He has served as an associate editor on Surface Science Spectra since 1991. In addition, he serves on the Surface and Interface Analysis publication's advisory board. (announced 10/1/2008)
