We are pleased to announce that Dr. Edgar Muñoz has been appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of “Nanosensors” in Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220).

Edgar Muñoz earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Zaragoza in 2000 for his pioneering work in the laser ablation production of carbon nanotubes carried out at the Instituto de Carboquímica ICB-CSIC (Spanish National Research Council CSIC). From 2000 to 2003, he worked in Ray H. Baughman’s group, first at Honeywell Int. (Morristown, NJ), and later at the UTD NanoTech Institute of the University of Texas in Dallas, where he published seminal papers in Nature, Nature Materials, and the Journal of the American Chemical Society and Advanced Materials. Dr. Edgar Muñoz has been a CSIC staff research scientist since 2005. His primary research interests are in the fabrication of nanocarbon-based multifunctional materials for gas sensor applications, and on supramolecular peptide self-assemblies and nanocomposite materials for optoelectronics (transparent electrodes and fluorescent probes), sensor, nanocarrier (theranostics, drug delivery), and smart textile applications.

We warmly welcome Dr. Edgar Muñoz in his role as Editor-in-Chief of the “Nanosensors” Section, and we look forward to him leading Sensors towards achieving more milestones.
