**Meet the editor**

Professor Wilson gained his undergraduate degree in physics and then postgraduate degrees in electronics and in optics from Otago University, in New Zealand. His interests then changed to soft condensed matter and the antifreeze proteins polar fishes use to survive ice-laden waters. Postdoctoral work included measuring the thickness of the ice-water interface and develop-

ing techniques for measuring levels of recrystallization in ice. For much of his career Professor Wilson has been studying the nucleation of supercooled solutions and how best to measure subsequent growth and recrystallization of ice. In 2005 Roskilde University, in Denmark, awarded him the degree Doctor Scientiarum. Professor Wilson now works in the Faculty of Life and Environmental Science at the University of Tsukuba.
