Publisher and editors of the journal Solar Physics welcome its new Editor-in-Chief Anne-Marie Broomhall. She has been invited to fill the position of Lidia van Driel-Gesztelyi, who decided to retire as an EiC after having served for 20 years from 2005–2025.

We gratefully acknowledge Lidia’s contributions to Solar Physics and the research community. Anne-Marie Broomhall is joining the Co-Editors-in-Chief Iñigo Arregui, Cristina H. Mandrini, and Marco Velli.

Anne-Marie Broomhall completed her PhD in 2008 at the University of Birmingham (UK) and remained there as a postdoctoral researcher until 2012. She then moved with a a Global Research Fellowship to the University of Warwick, where she now serves as an Associate Professor at the Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics.

Her research interests focus on helio- and asteroseismology and she is specifically interested in the impact of magnetic fields on acoustic oscillations. She is also interested in solar and stellar activity cycles and applying statistical techniques to detect oscillatory signatures, both in helioseismology and other solar phenomena, such as quasi-periodic pulsations in flares.

Anne-Marie Broomhall is also a member of the IOP Special Interest Group on Plasma Physics (2023–2027).
