The IEEE Electron Devices Society announces Professor Li Yunjia as the new editor-in-chief of the IEEE Journal of MEMS.

The IEEE Electron Devices Society has published an editorial announcing that Li Yunjia, a professor at the School of Electrical Engineering at Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU), has succeeded Professor Gianluca Piazza from Carnegie Mellon University as the new editor-in-chief of the IEEE Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems (IEEE Journal of MEMS). Li is the first editor-in-chief from an Asian country since the journal's inception.

The IEEE Journal of MEMS is one of the oldest and most internationally renowned flagship journals in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). It has long been indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) core collection and ranks near the top of the Q2 tier among JCR engineering journals, serving as a benchmark for evaluating MEMS-related research achievements by universities and research institutions worldwide.

Li has long been engaged in research on the design, fabrication, reliability, signal readout circuitry, and control systems of MEMS sensors, actuators, and energy harvesters.

In addition to serving as editor-in-chief of the IEEE Journal of MEMS, he is an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics and one of the seven members of the award committee for the IEEE Robert Bosch Microelectromechanical Systems Award, the highest international honor in the MEMS field.

He has previously held positions including executive committee member of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, executive committee member of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council, chair of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society MEMS Technical Committee, and member of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Publications Committee.
