It is with great sadness that we at Old City Publishing announce the passing of Professor Jonathan Lawrence, a distinguished leader in laser engineering and editor-in-chief of Lasers in Engineering and International Journal of Laser Science: Fundamental Theory and Analytical Methods.
Jonathan was a brilliant scientist and academic leader. He became editor-in-chief of Lasers in Engineering in 2010 and was the founding editor of Laser Science: Fundamental Theory and Analytical Methods in 2018.
Jonathan was a strong, no-nonsense editor, who adhered to the strictest of academic standards, but who was always willing help new authors to develop their academic voice.
His quick mind and boyish charm made him a pleasure to work with. We at Old City Publishing will sadly miss his friendship, leadership and steadfast guidance. We would like to extend our sincerest condolences to his wife, Louise, and son and daughter.
Jonathan will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.
We invite you to read more about Jonathan’s life in the obituary published by the Association of Laser Users (AILU).
