Mairi Sakellariadou has been a Professor of Theoretical Physics at King’s College London since 2011. She is an excellent researcher with a broad background in theoretical physics and cosmology, with emphasis on the physics of the early universe. Her research stands at the interface between cosmology, theoretical particle physics and gravitational theories. As a member of various scientific collaborations (e.g., LIGO, LISA, EUCLID, SKA), with her position as Chair of the Gravitational Physics Division of the EPS, and her publishing experience at Helvetica Physica Acta and Europhysics Letters, she is highly-qualified for the job as the journal’s Editor-in-Chief.

Together will Pablo Laguna (this opens in a new tab) from Georgia Institute of Technology, Mairi Sakellariadou will lead the journal into its 50th anniversary year!  We are glad to have two lead editors representing both the American and European research communities, and for the first time, a female Editor-in-Chief of the GRG journal!
