ALFRED, NY – Alastair Cormack, Van Derck Fréchette Professor of Ceramic Science and Founding Dean of the Inamori School of Engineering at Alfred University, has been appointed editor-in-chief of two journals published by the Society of Glass Technology.
Cormack will oversee publication of the Society of Glass Technology’s (SGT) Journal of Glass Technology and Physics and Chemistry of Glasses. The journals comprise two parts of the European Journal of Glass Science and Technology, a joint venture between the SGT and Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaft (DGG), the SGT’s German counterpart.
The Journal of Glass Technology and Physics and Chemistry of Glasses were first published in 1960. There are six issues per volume for each journal, with each issue containing peer-reviewed papers and reviews.
Cormack is a Fellow of the Society of Glass Technology, as well as the Royal Society of Chemistry, the American Ceramic Society (ACerS), and the Mineralogical Society. He holds an M.A. degree from the University of Cambridge and M.S. and doctoral degrees from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
Following post-doctoral work at University College London (including a stay at the University of Chicago), he joined the faculty of the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 1985.
