Susan A. Odom, 41, died April 18 in Lexington, Kentucky.
“Susan A. Odom was an innovative and passionate researcher developing new chemistries for energy storage. Her commitment to excellence is documented by 54 papers (9 cited more than 100 times; 1 cited more than 800 times) and her receipt of a Rising Star Award. She collaborated widely and had six active grants when she died. She was a committed educator and displayed courage and integrity in championing change for good.
