Geraldine Richmond, Ph.D
Richard M. and Patricia H. Noyes Professorship in Chemistry | University of Oregon
Education
Dr. Richmond received a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1975 at Kansas State University. She received her Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1980.
Expertise
Her research is distinguished by the use of nonlinear optical spectroscopy and computational methods to understand the chemistry that occurs at complex surfaces and interfaces that have relevance to problems in energy production, environmental remediation, atmospheric chemistry and biomolecular surfaces. She is a leader in the development and application of the surface nonlinear optical methods used to make these discoveries.
Dr. Richmond has also played an important role in assisting in the health and vitality of the U.S. scientific and educational enterprise through her service on many science boards and advisory panels.
Affiliations
Richmond has received numerous awards for her studies, including the American Chemical Society Garvan Medal (1996), the Spiers Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2004), and the Bomem-Michaelson Award (2008). She has been selected as a fellow of the American Physical Society (1993), the American Association of the Advancement of Science (2004), the Association of Women in Science (2008), and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2006).
In 1998 Richmond founded an organization called "COACh" to foster the career success of women scientists in academia.
