**Meet the editor**

Dr. Gric's research career has been focused on the investigation of waveguide devices (waveguide modulators, filters, etc.), namely on proposing their electrodynamic analysis. Another major goal of her studies is plasmonics, the examination of the interaction between electromagnetic field and free electrons in a metal. Moreover, the broad scope of research carried out by Dr. Gric has

included investigations into the new fascinating properties of novel materials. Dr. Gric also has a record of effective teaching in the rank of associate professor. She has published extensively in her field of investigation with more than 35 peer-reviewed papers in top journals in physics, electrodynamics, and optics.
