Please meet Associate Editor John Wenskovitch!

John Wenskovitch recently joined our editorial staff as an Assistant Editor. He is a visual analytics researcher at Pacific Northwest National Lab and an adjunct professor in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech, and received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Virginia Tech in 2019. John has presented at and organized software sessions at AAS and EAS meetings and is very interested in open source software and improving research. He will be working to improve our throughput by vetting new entries to the ASCL.
