Interests: bioelectronics; bionanotechnology; bioelectrochemistry; biosensors; self-assembling enzymes; monolayers; modified electrodes

Evgeny Katz received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry (Moscow), Russian Academy of Sciences, in 1983. He was Senior Researcher at the Institute of Photosynthesis (Pushchino), Russian Academy of Sciences, in 1983–1991. In 1992–1993, he performed research at München Technische Universität (Germany) as a Humboldt fellow. Later, in 1993–2006, Dr. Katz was Research Associate Professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has been Milton Kerker Chaired Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Science, Clarkson University, NY (USA) since his appointment in 2006. He has (co)authored over 470 papers in peer-reviewed journals/books with total citations of more than 35,000 (Hirsch-index 88) and holds more than 20 international patents. He has edited five books on different topics, including bioelectronics, molecular and biomolecular computing, implantable bioelectronics, and forensic science. He recently published two books on switchable electrochemical systems and enzyme-based computing in which he is the sole author. He has served as Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Sensors (2009–2012) and currently serves on the editorial board of numerous other journals. His scientific interests are broadly in the areas of bioelectronics, biosensors, biofuel cells, and biomolecular information processing (biocomputing). In 2019, he received the international Katsumi Niki Prize in recognition of his contributions to bioelectrochemistry.

We warmly welcome Prof. Dr. Evgeny Katz in his role as Section Editor-in-Chief for the Magnetic Nanospecies Section, and look forward to Magnetochemistry achieving more milestones under his leadership.
