SUT Shines Globally! Prof. Dr. Santi Maensiri Appointed to Editorial Board of World-Class Journal "SmartSys" by Wiley InterScience

Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) proudly announces the significant international achievement of Professor Dr. Santi Maensiri, Professor of Physics, Acting Dean of the Institute of Science, and Head of the Center of Excellence in Advanced Functional Materials (COE-AFM). Professor Dr. Santi has been invited and appointed as an Editorial Board Member of the prestigious international journal "SmartSys," published by the global academic giant, Wiley InterScience.

SmartSys is far more than a standard academic journal; it is a premier hub for cutting-edge innovation. The journal focuses on the dissemination of breakthrough research in Materials, Devices, and Smart Systems all driven by the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, which are the cornerstones of today’s industrial revolution. With an aim to generate high academic impact in the fields of Robotics, Multidisciplinary Sciences, and Materials Science, SmartSys operates under the leadership of world-renowned Editors-in-Chief, including:

• Professor Zhong Lin Wang from the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems (a pioneer in Nanogenerator technology and one of the world's most-cited scientists).
• Professor Liqun Zhang.

This appointment underscores that those selected for the Editorial Board must be scholars of significant academic influence and global recognition.

Professor Dr. Santi Maensiri’s transition into this role holds profound significance for both the university and the Thai academic community across several dimensions:

• Shaping Global Research Directions: As an Editorial Board Member, he will play a vital role in the peer-review process for both Full Research Articles and Review Articles, setting new standards for the fields of Advanced Materials and Flexible Electronics.
• Elevating SUT’s International Standing: Having a "Key Person" within a top-tier Wiley journal showcases SUT’s potential on the global academic map as a leading research institution with world-class experts.
• Reflecting Specialized Excellence: It reinforces the strength of SUT’s Center of Excellence in Advanced Functional Materials, highlighting its pivotal role in driving innovations that bridge materials science and intelligent technology.

Research under the purview of the SmartSys Editorial Board covers essential global trends such as Semiconductors, Smart Sensing, and Biology and Bionics—all of which are fundamental to developing technology for future industries and a better quality of life. This achievement is not only a personal milestone but a significant step for SUT in its commitment to being a world-class research university.
