Editorial Advisory Board
Our journal is managed by professional in-house editors who handle manuscripts from submission
to publication and beyond, including overseeing peer review and production steps and liaising with
the scientific community. All editors responsible for the peer review process and for editorial decision-making have research backgrounds and hold a PhD. Learn more about our team of professional
in-house editors.
Our in-house editors closely collaborate with our Editorial Advisory Board Members to ensure the highest publishing standards in accordance with our editorial policies.

Gerd O. Müller †, GOMMAconsult GmbH, Berlin
We are sad to announce the passing of one of our longest-serving Advisory Board members, Gerd Müller, on 8 December 2022. He was a founding member of pss (a) since 1970 and published 36 articles in pss between 1963 and 2016. During his time at Lumileds Lighting, San Jose, he and his wife Regina Müller-Mach were first authors of the 2005 Editor’s Choice cover article on highly efficient all-nitride phosphor-converted white LEDs (currently cited 555 times; the corresponding author Wolfgang Schnick and co-author Peter Schmidt were nominees for the German Future Prize in 2013).
