 Dr. Philipp Hövel, Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany

The European Physical Journal B is glad to announce that Dr. Philipp Hövel (Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany) has been appointed as Editor-in-Chief for the section on statistical physics and complex systems.

Dr. Hövel will work alongside Prof. Egger to continue guiding and developing the journal.

The journal and the Publishers, take the opportunity to thank Prof. Heiko Rieger whose work and leadership have been invaluable.

Philipp Hövel is a trained mathematician and physicist, who currently works as a researcher at Saarland University, Germany, in the Physics Department and Center for Biophysics. His research mission is to lift the boundaries between data-oriented science, theoretical approaches, and numerical simulations addressing interdisciplinary questions based on an overlap of nonlinear dynamics, network science, and control theory. His areas of expertise include complex systems, bifurcation theory, delay, differential equations, and complex networks. Besides mathematical modelling and analytical investigations, he has always looked for experimental validation of his theoretical findings and a combination of the models with empirical data. His interdisciplinary research concept has led to better insight and fundamental understanding of synchronization processes and other dynamical phenomena. In addition, the combination with empirical data sets will allow for investigations of real-world relevance in areas, such as neuroscience, epidemiology and beyond.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
