Biography
Dr. Susan Fullerton joined Notre Dame in Fall 2009 after completing her Ph.D. at Penn State University in Chemical Engineering. Susan's dissertation was titled "A unified approach to understanding conductivity enhancement in nanoparticle-filled solid polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries." She conducted a portion of her research at the NIST Center for Neutron Research in Gaithersburg, MD. Susan was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, and in 2009 she was awarded the Frank J. Padden Jr. Award for Excellence in Polymer Physics Research by the American Physical Society.
