**Meet the editor**

Dr. Sabar D. Hutagalung received a Drs degree (Applied Physics) from University of North Sumatra (USU), Indonesia in 1989 and a Ph.D. degree (Materials Science) from University of Technology Malaysia (UTM), Malaysia, in 1997. He was a lecturer at the USU from 1991 to 2003. Since December 2003 he has been with the School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering,

University of Science Malaysia (USM), Malaysia. His research interests are nanomaterials, nanoelectronics and electro-active ceramic materials areas, especially synthesis and characterization of semiconductor nanostructured materials (nanowires, nanorods, nanoparticles and quantum dots), fabrication of high-K and giant magnetoresistance ceramic, and development of ceramic-based EMI shielding materials. He has successfully guided 3 PhD, 17 MSc, and more than 50 undergraduate students. He has published more than 45 SCOPUS/ISI indexed papers. As an expert in Electronic Materials area, he has been invited as external and internal examiners to MSc and PhD theses, invited to give talk in some forum, review papers for international and national journals.
