I am pleased to introduce Jinli Suo as the newest JOSA A topical editor. Professor Suo is a recognized leader in computational imaging and computer vision. Her work provides numerous examples of the kind of groundbreaking research at the intersection of optics and image processing that I called for in my 2016 editorial [1]. She has made important contributions in ptychographic microscopy, single-pixel imaging, fluorescence microscopy, and many other areas of current interest in our community. Her work may be found in the pages and webpages of OSA journals Optics Express, Optics Letters, and, of course, JOSA A. She joins us to add strength in our coverage of image processing alongside Amit Ashok and Sam Thurman and to cover machine vision as Masahiro Yamaguchi prepares to step down after six years of outstanding service as topical editor for that area. I am deeply grateful for our esteemed new editor and for years of wisdom and hard work from our departing colleague. Please join me in welcoming Prof. Suo by sending us your very best optical research in image processing and machine vision.
