A new journal for findings of exceptional significance from across the chemical sciences
Editorial Board
Professor Teri Odom
Associate Editor: Nanoscience
Teri W. Odomis an associate professor and Dow Chemical Company Research Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University. She received her B.S. degree from Stanford University in 1996 and her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2001. Odom's research focuses on controlling materials at the 100-nanometer scale and investigating their size and shape-dependent properties. She has developed multi-scale nanopatterning tools that can generate noble metal (plasmonic) structures with exceptional optical properties. For example, arrays of nanoholes and nanopyramids are new plasmonic metamaterials also capable of ultra-sensitive molecular detection. Pyramidal nanoparticles can be used in imaging and therapeutic applications. Odom has also pioneered an approach for assembling functional nanomaterials, called chemical nanofabrication. Odom has received numerous awards and honors, including an NIH Director's Pioneer Award from the National Institutes of Health; the Materials Research Society Outstanding Young Investigator Award; the National Fresenius Award from Phi Lambda Upsilon and the American Chemical Society; the Rohm and Haas New Faculty Award; an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship; a DuPont Young Investigator Grant; a National Science Foundation CAREER Award; a Dow Teacher-Scholar Award; the ExxonMobil Solid State Chemistry Faculty Fellowship; and a David and Lucile Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering.
