TAPPI Journal (TJ) welcomed four new members to its Editorial Board, continuing the publication’s longstanding commitment to provide comprehensive, peer-reviewed research to the forest products industry. These new mem- bers will lend expertise in their respective areas, as de- scribed below, by guiding individual papers through the publication process in conjunction with peer reviewers. “We are excited that these four new Editorial Board members have joined our ranks,” said Doug Coffin, TJ Ed- itor-in-Chief. “Their addition to the Ed Board allows us to ensure that the journal provides high quality technical arti- cles of relevance to the evolving forest products industry.” Biljana M. Bujanović, Ph.D., is a supervisory research general engineer at the USDA-FS-Forest Products Labora- tory (FPL), Madison, Wisconsin, in the Fiber and Chemical Sciences Research group. Her current work focuses on wood chemistry, lignin properties and lignin-based prod- ucts, nanocellulose, and lignocellulosic biorefinery devel- opments, among others. Ewellyn Capanema, Ph.D., is a principal scientist at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, where she leads research in lignin and wood chemistry that aims to unlock its poten- tial for industrial applications and support development of sustainable technologies. Capanema also held senior R&D positions at leading biorefinery companies in Canada and the United States. Joice Kaschuk, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter group at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. She is an expert in biorefinery, processability, modification, conversion, and characterization of biomass and wood from macro to na- noscale for multifunctional and advanced applications. Diego Gomez-Maldonado, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral as- sociate in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University where he researches materials for neural tissue engineering. His expertise encompasses biopolymer surface chemistry, characterization, and 3-D assembly. Gomez-Maldonado’s current research focus is on the development of sustainable bio-based materials that achieve optimal health outcomes for people, animals, and the environment. He holds a doctorate in forest bio- materials from Auburn University. TJ’s open access format provides the industry imme- diate, free access to the latest research as soon as each issue is published. Prospective authors from academic and research institutions, as well as speakers who present scientific papers at conferences, are encouraged to sub- mit their research for peer review and consideration for publication in TJ. As an added incentive, authors are eligible for the $2,000 Honghi Tran TAPPI Journal Best Research Paper Prize presented at TAPPICon. Learn more and submit abstracts at tappi.org/tjsubmit .
