Chief Editor: Vincent Dusastre
Vincent Dusastre gained his first degree in physical chemistry from the Université Paul Sabatier (Toulouse, France), followed by a MSci in materials science from the University of Kent (Canterbury, UK). His research interests during his PhD from University College London and postdoctoral experience at Imperial College London were in the design and investigation of the properties of oxide materials for gas-sensing and fuel-cell applications. He joined Nature in 1999 and launched Nature Materials in 2002. In addition to his duties as Chief Editor, he handles manuscripts in the areas of electrochemistry and materials for energy, including batteries, fuel cells, solar fuels, electro- and photocatalysis. Vincent is based in the London office.

Senior Editor: Luigi Martiradonna
Luigi Martiradonna received a first degree in electronic engineering from the Polytechnic University of Bari and a PhD in innovative materials and technologies from the University of Salento in Italy. Having been trained in nanotechnologies for quantum-dot-based optical devices, during his postdoctoral experience at the Institute of Industrial Science in Tokyo he became interested in photonic-crystal structures embedding colloidal nanocrystals. As a postdoctoral researcher and team leader of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, he then worked on the development of technologies for the detection and stimulation of neuronal synaptic signals. At Nature Materials, which he joined in January 2013, Luigi handles manuscripts in the broad area of applied physics such as organic and inorganic electronics, photovoltaics, and neuromorphic systems. Luigi is based in the London office.
