I

am happy to report that we have added another Associate Editor to our team here at Macromolecules. Please join me in welcoming Professor Liangbin Li from the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory and the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei as a new Macromolecules Associate Editor. This will establish the fourth editorial office in Asia for the journal and helps align our editorial representation with our ever-increasing global community of authors, reviewers, and readers.

Liangbin received his B.A. and M.Sci. degrees in Physics from Sichuan Normal University and Sichuan University, respectively. In 2000, he completed his Ph.D. in Polymer Engineering under the direction of Professor Rui Huang at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China. From 2000 to 2004, he carried out postdoctoral research at the FOM Institute AMOLF and Delft University of Technology with Professors Wim de Jeu and Stephen Picken. After two years of experience in industry at the Unilever Food and Health Research Institute in Vlaardingen, Netherlands, Liangbin returned to China as a participant in the “One-Hundred Talents Program” of the Chinese Academy of Science and joined the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei as a full professor in 2006. Prof. Li is a leader in the development of in situ synchrotron radiation techniques for the study of polymer physics relevant to processing. He has broad knowledge and expertise in polymer science, and his primary research interests currently include polymer crystallization, elastomers, and the processing of polymer films. Liangbin recently coauthored a highly cited Perspective in Macromolecules on flow-induced crystallization of polymers, a topic that he has been actively pursuing for more than a decade.1 He also has several collaborations and relationships with industry and certainly appreciates the importance of industrially relevant research. Over his career, he has received a number of awards, including the Program for New Century Excellent Talents in the University of Ministry of Education of China (2007), the OneHundred Talents Program of The Chinese Academy of Sciences (2009), and the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars (2013).
