**About the Editor**

**G. Jordan Maclay** is the Chief Scientist at Quantum Fields LLC, a contract research organization he founded in 1999 after retiring from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1998. Prof. Maclay is interested in fundamental quantum phenomena, particularly those related to quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field, such as Casimir forces and radiative shifts, and how these phenomena might be used to accomplish engineering objectives. He published the first quantum field theoretical calculation of the Casimir force, introducing the Zeta function method, with his thesis advisor Prof. Lowell S. Brown in 1969. Prof. Maclay and his students did the first work incorporating Casimir forces into microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in 1995. He has worked extensively in the area of chemical microsensors. He received his PhD in physics from Yale University in 1972. He recently authored the book "Transformations: Poetry and Art," to be published in 2022. Currently he is working on a book on the symmetries of the hydrogen atom.
