We are very pleased to announce that Prof. Dr. Geert Verdoolaege has been appointed as Section Editor-in-Chief of the “Multidisciplinary Applications” Section in Entropy (ISSN 1099-4300).

Prof. Dr. Geert Verdoolaege is an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Ghent University, where he leads the Research Unit Nuclear Fusion. He teaches the courses Plasma Physics and Continuum Mechanics for physics engineering and physics students, and he is involved in fusion education in Europe through international master and PhD programs. He serves as an expert in the topical groups on Transport and Confinement and on Diagnostics of the International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA), as well as in the scientific committees of various plasma physics and mathematics conferences.

His current research activities comprise development and application of advanced data analysis techniques for nuclear fusion experiments, using Bayesian probability theory, machine learning and information geometry. Applications include fusion scaling laws, probabilistic modeling of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities and fusion diagnostics, and predictive maintenance.

We warmly welcome Prof. Dr. Geert Verdoolaege in taking up his role as Section Editor-in-Chief, and we look forward to Entropy achieving many milestones under his leadership.
