Biography

Sharon Glotzer is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Computational scientist known for nanoparticle self-assembly

How & why

Glotzer, an American Jewish computational scientist at the University of Michigan, is a leader in the study of how nanoparticles and complex fluids spontaneously self-assemble into ordered structures. Her simulations revealed that particle shape alone can drive the emergence of exotic ordered phases, guiding the design of new materials. She has received the National Medal of Science's peer honors and numerous physics and engineering awards.
