We are pleased to welcome Professor John Ekaterinaris as the new Editor-in-Chief of Aerospace Science and Technology.

Prof. John Ekaterinaris received his Ph.D. from the School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1987.

Between 1987 and 1995 he worked at Numerical Aerodynamics Simulation (NAS) branch of NASA–Ames Research Center at Moffett Field in California, and at the same time he was faculty at the Naval Postgraduate Scholl at Monterey also in California.

He was a Senior Research Scientist position at RISOE National Laboratory in Denmark between 1995 and 1997, before returning to California to work at Nielsen Engineering and Research between 1997 and 2000, where he performed funded research for NASA, ONR and other government agencies.

In 2000 he became Research Director at the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics at FORTH, where he remained until 2005 when he joined the faculty of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Patras.

His research interests are computational mechanics (including aerodynamics, magnetogasdynamics, aeroacoustics, flow transition, turbulence research, and flow structure interaction), multi-scale phenomena, stochastic PDEs, and biomechanics. He is widely published in these fields with over 40 published journal papers.

He has been member and currently associate fellow of AIAA since 1985 where he served as member at the Flight Mechanics and Fluid Dynamics Technical Committees.

In the past, he has carried out funded research in the US and in Europe and is currently involved in the 6^th framework program for the European Space Agency and research for the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and US Army Research Office.
