After graduating with a PhD in molecular physics from the University of Birmingham I worked as a post-doc in Japan and  later in the Netherlands at NIES and Radboud University, respectively.  Since May 2016 I am an associate editor on Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical.


Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

Isabelle Auffret-Babak

isabelle-auffret-babakI am working as Executive Editor for Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. I studied physics initially in France and thereafter in the UK where I completed an MPhil at the University of Cardiff.  Working for IOP Publishing reconciles my educational background with my interest in scientific communication as I have in the past envisioned pursuing a career in journalism. Among many other things I like meeting new people, keeping in touch with the latest developments in science and travelling.
