A Conversation with the Chair
1. Could you please introduce yourself and your research journey?
My research focuses on the natural products of marine algae and cyanobacteria, their application in medicine, their biosynthesis using genomic approaches, and innovative methods in the structure elucidation of natural products.
I received my BS degree from the University of California at Davis, my PhD from the University of California at San Diego, and conducted postdoctoral work at the University of Connecticut. After a couple of years in a junior faculty position at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Puerto Rico, I spent 21 years as Professor of Pharmacy at Oregon State University. In 2005, I returned to my PhD institution at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at UC San Diego, where I am currently a Distinguished Professor of Oceanography and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to advancing the field through both leadership and mentorship. I have served as president of the American Society of Pharmacognosy, chaired and co-chaired several major research conferences, and served as an associate editor for the Journal of Natural Products. I am a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and of the American Society of Pharmacognosy. I have trained over 100 doctoral and postdoctoral students, and my research group has published nearly 500 papers and more than 25 patents on topics in the natural product sciences and medicinal chemistry.
2. What motivated you to accept the role of Chair of the 2026 Tu Youyou Award Committee?
Of course, I am a huge supporter of all awards that are given in recognition of excellent scientific research, and especially so in the natural products sciences and medicinal chemistry. However, this award is truly special in that it recognizes scientific excellence as well as impact, and is given in the name of an individual, Tu Youyou, who clearly had many challenges along the path to reach the pinnacle of her success. Not only was she the first Chinese person to win a Nobel prize in this area, but she was also the first Chinese woman to receive a Nobel prize, and this was achieved without graduate education in China or elsewhere. It’s a true testament to what can be achieved by hard work, determination, and vision. To read the history of her extraordinary approach to discovering novel antimalarial compounds from Traditional Chinese Medicine is truly inspirational. It is, therefore, the inspiration provided by the extraordinary life and career of Tu Youyou that motivated me to accept the Chair of the Award Committee for 2026.
3. How do you view the role of natural products chemistry and medicinal chemistry in today’s scientific landscape, and what major advances over the past decade have shaped this field?
A quite remarkable integration of fields is currently transforming natural products science and medicinal chemistry. In natural products, we are seeing integration of different omics methods, from metabolites to proteins to nucleic acids. Sophisticated biological and pharmacological approaches are driving the discovery of exquisitely potent and selective natural products. Advances are being made to integrate molecular-level recognition of natural products with chemical ecological studies, and sophisticated methods of structure determination using Artificial Intelligence or pioneering new tools such as microED are being applied with increasing frequency. High-level synthetic methodologies, such as protecting group-free synthetic routes, are enhancing medicinal chemistry, accelerating the identification of lead molecules with attractive pharmaceutical properties at an increasing pace.
4. How do you consider the balance between fundamental discovery (e.g., new molecules or mechanisms) and practical impact (e.g., therapeutic applications)?
Many individuals are excellent scientists and mentors, and have essential roles in developing our culture that values science and the scientific method. It should also be pointed out that not all scientific discoveries are going to have a broad societal impact, but they are nevertheless critical to the overall body and structure of science. But it is a truly remarkable individual who makes a key scientific discovery, recognizes its potential value to society in general, and then has the skills and determination to bring it forward as a useful product. That was the type of person the Tu Youyou is, and that is the type of person who is honored by the prize in her name.
5. What do you see as the key challenges or opportunities currently facing the field?
We are on the crux of an amazing revolution in many of the sciences, including natural products and medicinal chemistry; the purposeful application of Artificial Intelligence to solving many of the difficulties involved in the search for new pharmaceuticals from Nature. AI is transforming how we select organisms for study, what pharmaceutical targets to go after, rapidly resolving the chemical structures of new compounds, identifying efficient routes to their chemical synthesis, understanding their molecular mechanisms of action, and finally, designing their clinical application. The role of people in these pursuits is changing. Increasingly, the human role will be providing overall vision: what can we do? What should we do? And it is important to remember that AI is providing hypotheses, not truth. Scientists with expert domain knowledge will be critical for discerning the correctness of hypotheses put forth by AI. Altogether, advances in technology, expanding knowledge, and the appropriate use of AI methods are preparing society to be able to address emerging diseases, such as pandemics, as well as conditions that are not effectively treated by currently existing therapeutics.
6. How do you expect the Tu Youyou Award to contribute to the advancement of natural product chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and human health over the coming years?
The Tu Youyou Award is potentially transformative for the broad fields of natural products science and medicinal chemistry as it brings a significantly increased level of visibility to these topics and their contributions to human health. It will be crucial to have excellent communication to news agencies, social media and other communication outlets so that the general public is informed and educated on the high impact of these natural product/medicinal chemistry contributions. This will bring increased funding, attract promising students, and generally enrich the interface of these fields with the health sector.
7. What message would you like to convey to the research community and the public during this open nomination phase?
This prize gives broad societal visibility to the role that natural products have had in shaping a majority of our current medicines, as well as understanding the life forms with whom we share the planet. Further, it recognizes a woman scientist working under sub-optimal conditions who could persevere and make discoveries of global impact. The prize and what it represents, therefore, inspires current and future generations to engage in the study of Nature and its relationship to Human Health, to overcome adversity, and to aspire to making one’s life impactful.

He served as the Independent Director for SK Hynix (2017–2023).
The following is an interview with Prof. Dr. Changhwan Shin:
1. Could you briefly introduce your main research areas and achievements?
My research centers on semiconductor devices, specifically CMOS silicon device physics, modeling, and technology. I have devoted my career to understanding the fundamental mechanisms governing metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and advancing their performance at the nanometer scale. My key contributions include the development of mitigation strategies for short-channel effects in deeply scaled CMOS technologies, physics-based compact models that bridge device physics and circuit simulation, and systematic studies on process-induced random variation such as line-edge roughness (LER), random dopant fluctuation (RDF), and work-function variation (WFV). I have also contributed to process-device co-optimization for advanced technology nodes through close collaboration with industry partners. My work has been published in leading journals including IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices and IEEE Electron Device Letters, and so on. As an Associate Editor for Electronics, I am eager to leverage this expertise to attract and curate high-quality publications in the semiconductor devices domain, strengthening the journal's “Microelectronics” Section and ensuring that important advances in silicon device technology reach the broadest possible audience through open access publishing.
2. In your opinion, which research topics will attract particular attention from the academic community in the coming years?
Several topics in semiconductor devices will command significant attention. First, continued CMOS scaling beyond the 2-nanometer node through gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet transistors and complementary FET (CFET) architectures presents critical challenges in electrostatics, parasitic management, and process integration. Second, the convergence of CMOS devices with neuromorphic and in-memory computing paradigms is a transformative frontier, as researchers seek to embed intelligence directly into silicon hardware for energy-efficient AI processing. Third, power semiconductor devices are experiencing renewed interest driven by electrification and renewable energy demands, with research bridging silicon-based and wide-bandgap technologies such as SiC and GaN. Fourth, device reliability and variability at advanced nodes remain essential concerns, and the application of machine learning to reliability/variability prediction is a particularly promising emerging trend. Finally, heterogeneous integration and chiplet-based architectures create new research questions at the device and interconnect levels. I believe Electronics is well-positioned to publish impactful work across these topics, and as an Associate Editor, I am committed to soliciting high-quality submissions that address these exciting frontiers in semiconductor device research.
3. What has been the greatest challenge in your professional career, and how did you overcome it?
The greatest challenge has been navigating the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of semiconductor device research while maintaining deep expertise in CMOS silicon technology. Modern device engineering demands fluency not only in semiconductor physics but also in materials science, process technology, and circuit-level constraints. No single researcher can master all these areas independently. I overcame this by adopting a deliberately collaborative research philosophy, actively building partnerships with process engineers, circuit designers, and computational experts across academia and industry. These collaborations taught me to communicate effectively across disciplinary boundaries and to identify problems that are both scientifically rigorous and practically relevant. Another significant challenge was securing funding for fundamental device physics research during periods when the funding landscape favored application-oriented proposals. I learned to frame my research within broader technological narratives, demonstrating how CMOS device improvements directly enable advances in computing, healthcare, and energy efficiency. Finally, mentoring students in semiconductor devices when many were drawn to more visible fields like AI required making courses forward-looking and connecting device-level innovations to their ultimate societal impact. These experiences have made me a more resilient and adaptable researcher, well-prepared for editorial responsibilities.
4. What kind of impact do you hope your research will have? What do you consider to be the key innovations in your work?
I hope my research contributes to sustaining the trajectory of semiconductor technology advancement that underpins the information and AI age. By pushing the limits of CMOS silicon transistors, I aim to help make computing more powerful, energy-efficient, and accessible worldwide. Key innovations in my work include the development of short-channel effect mitigation strategies and physics-based models for nanoscale CMOS devices, which have provided practical design guidelines adopted by both academic and industrial researchers. My contributions to variability physics, particularly understanding LER/RDF/WFV and its interplay with other degradation mechanisms, have advanced the community's ability to enhance yield in critical applications. I have also pioneered TCAD simulation-driven approaches to explore novel device concepts before fabrication, accelerating the R&D cycle and reducing costs. Looking forward, I am excited about integrating machine learning with semiconductor device modeling to develop more efficient predictive tools. As an Associate Editor for Electronics, I hope to attract research demonstrating this synergy between traditional device engineering and emerging computational methods, enriching the journal's portfolio in microelectronics and semiconductor devices.
5. When choosing a journal, what do you value most? And why did you finally choose our journal?
I value several factors when choosing a journal.

Fifth, be patient and persistent. Rejected papers and failed experiments are normal parts of the research process and often lead to unexpected discoveries. Finally, consider publishing in open access journals like Electronics, where your work reaches the widest possible audience. Early-career researchers benefit particularly from the discoverability and accessibility that open access provides, helping build their reputation in the global research community.
7. Do you have any suggestions for how journals and publishers can better support early-career researchers and the academic community?
I have several suggestions for better supporting early-career researchers. First, journals should foster constructive peer review by providing reviewer guidelines that emphasize specific, helpful feedback rather than brief or harsh comments. A well-written review can be as educational as any formal course for a young researcher. Second, publishers can organize training programs such as webinars on scientific writing, workshops on the review process, and networking events connecting junior and senior researchers. MDPI's global reach makes it uniquely positioned for such initiatives. Third, journals should actively include early-career researchers in editorial and review processes, inviting them as guest editors for Special Issues or reviewer board members to provide valuable experience and visibility. Fourth, publishers should explore ways to reduce financial barriers from article processing charges through waivers, discounts, or institutional agreements, ensuring that talented researchers are not prevented from publishing due to funding constraints. Fifth, Special Issues and Topical Collections focusing on emerging interdisciplinary themes, such as the intersection of semiconductor devices with neuromorphic computing or sustainable electronics, can attract diverse contributors and foster collaboration. These efforts collectively help create a more inclusive and supportive academic publishing ecosystem.
8. What are your immediate priorities for the journal in the coming year?
My immediate priorities as Associate Editor focus on strengthening Electronics' presence in semiconductor device research. First, I will actively recruit high-quality submissions by reaching out to leading researchers and groups working on advanced CMOS technologies, emerging transistor architectures, and device reliability. Personally inviting distinguished scholars to contribute feature papers and reviews will help create a positive cycle of high-quality publications. Second, I plan to organize Special Issues on timely topics such as advanced CMOS architectures beyond FinFET, reliability challenges at sub-2-nanometer nodes, and machine learning applications in device modeling. Third, I will maintain rigorous peer review standards by carefully selecting knowledgeable reviewers, providing timely decisions, and offering constructive feedback that adds value for authors. Fourth, I will promote the journal at academic conferences and through professional networks to raise its profile within the semiconductor community. Fifth, I will collaborate closely with the Editor-in-Chief and fellow editors to ensure the journal captures emerging trends and fosters interdisciplinary connections between semiconductor devices and other sections such as AI, power electronics, and communications. Through these efforts, I aim to make Electronics an increasingly prominent destination for impactful semiconductor device research published through open access.
