POTSDAM -- The Electrochemical Society recently announced reappointing Clarkson professor S.V. Babu to its editorial advisory committee (EAC).

Babu is a distinguished professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the school’s Wallace H Coulter School of Engineering.

The EAC expedites and facilitates evaluation and publication decisions of manuscripts submitted to The Electrochemical Society’s journals. In this role, experts like Babu, provide support to the journal editors in areas where existing technical editors and associate editors may need additional assistance.

Committee members are available for a rapid review and additional opinions to supplement conflicting or imbalanced comments from other reviewers; processing assistance in the journal areas that receive a large number of annual submissions; and reviewing and expediting articles that go in the society’s other communications media.

Babu is the past director of Clarkson’s Center for Advanced Materials Processing and an expert in the field of chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP), holding 31 patents.
