Editorial Board

Carmen S. Menoni
Carmen S. Menoni received her PhD in Physics from Colorado State University in 1987. Since 1991, she has been a member of the faculty in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at CSU where she is presently Professor. Prof. Menoni's research bridges from material to optical sciences. She is engaged in the growth and characterization of high bandgap oxide materials for the engineering of interference coatings for high power lasers. As faculty member of the NSF Center for Extreme Ultraviolet Science & Technology Prof. Menoni and her group are using bright coherent beams of light of wavelengths between 10-50 nm for optics applications such as high resolution imaging and ablation. In 2008 Prof. Menoni and her team received a R&D 100 Award for the invention of a table-top 46.9 nm wavelength microscope that can capture images in a single 1 nanosecond with wavelength spatial resolution. Menoni's work is published in over 70 archival journal publications and numerous conference presentations.

Prof. Menoni is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America. She is a senior member of the IEEE. Prof. Menoni has served the IEEE Photonics Society (formerly LEOS) in the capacity of Board of Governors member from 2006-2008 and Vice-President for Publications from 2007-2008.

Role of Editorial Board - Editor-in-Chief
The Editor-in-Chief (EIC) is a member of the IEEE Photonics Society. The EIC has the responsibility to set the journal scope and consider revisions once a year. The EIC ensures the manuscript review process follows IEEE guidelines. The EIC makes the final decision on acceptance or rejection of submissions after they have passed through the review process. Because IEEE Photonics is a rapid publication electronic journal the EIC is expected to play a pivotal role in helping ensure submissions move quickly through the review and publication processes. In addition, the EIC is responsible for the promotion of the journal. The EIC is appointed by the Board of Governors. The selection process is led by the Vice-President Publications, with the assistance of the Publications Board. The VP Publications consults with the President, and submits a recommendation the Board of Governor for approval. The EIC performance is reviewed every year by the VP Publications. The EIC term is three years, renewable for another 3-year term upon satisfactory review by the Publication Board at least 6 months prior to the end of the first 3-year term.
