Teri W. Odom, Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Joan Husting Madden and William H. Madden, Jr. Professor of Chemistry, has been selected as 2022 fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the largest general scientific society in the world.
For nearly 150 years, the AAAS has annually recognized members’ extraordinary achievements across disciplines. The 2022 class of AAAS Fellows includes 508 scientists, engineers, and innovators spanning 24 scientific disciplines, recognized for their scientifically or socially distinguished contributions to the advancement of science or its applications.
Odom is an expert in designing structured nanoscale materials with exceptional optical and physical properties. Odom has pioneered a suite of multi-scale nanofabrication tools that has resulted in flat optics that can manipulate light at the nanoscale and beat the diffraction limit, plasmon-based nanoscale lasers that exhibit tunable color, and hierarchical substrates that show controlled wetting and super-hydrophobicity.
Odom is also a professor of materials science and engineering at the McCormick School of Engineering and serves as editor-in-chief of Nano Letters, one of the first journals dedicated to nanotechnology.
AAAS Fellows will be celebrated in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 2023.
