The IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society (the SSIT sister publication to IEEE Technology and Society Magazine) has appointed Prof. George Roussos and Assistant Professor Jordan Richard Schoenherr as the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) and the Co-EIC, respectively, beginning in January 2026.
Prof. Katina Michael is currently completing her second three-year term as the founding Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE TTS. She noted, “I am absolutely thrilled that George and Jordan applied in tandem as they bring diverse interdisciplinary strengths to the EIC-ship.”

“When two senior editors of a publication raise their hands to take on such a demanding role as IEEE volunteers, it’s essential that both the historical context be preserved and the trajectory of the Transactions be fulfilled,” Prof. Michael added. “I have every faith in these two exceptional academics to take TTS to new heights.”
