Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

We are pleased to announce that Professor Heike Lorenz has been appointed as the Editor-in-Chief of the Section “Industrial Crystallization” of Crystals (ISSN 2073-4352). Her term started in March 2020.
apl. Prof. Dr. Heike Lorenz
Affiliation: Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems, Physical and Chemical Foundations of Process Engineering, Magdeburg, Germany

Heike Lorenz received her Diploma in Chemistry (Discipline Technical Chemistry) from Freiberg University of Mining and Technology and her Ph.D. from Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (Germany). She has been Senior Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg since 1998, where she also leads a crystallization team. In 2010, she was appointed apl. Professor at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg.
Her research interests are broadly based in the field of industrial crystallization, including fundamentals for process and product design (phase equilibria, crystallization kinetics, solid state characterization, etc.), crystallization process development and design (process concept, monitoring & analysis), as well as integration of crystallization into separation process chains. The applications cover fine chemicals (e.g., enantiomers), large-scale industrial products, and plant-based compounds.
Amongst her numerous appointments and activities, she notably serves as delegate of the European Federation of Chemical Engineers (EFCE), Working Party Crystallization, and an appointed Member of the Board of “Crystallization” of the Society of Process and Chemical Engineering of the Association of German Engineers (VDI), and is currently the Chair of the International Symposium of Industrial Crystallization (ISIC 21).
The editorial team warmly welcomes Professor Heike Lorenz as the Editor-in-Chief of the Industrial Crystallization Section and looks forward to her contribution to the continued success of Crystals. For further information on the journal sections, please see here.
