Kathryn Rice Bullock (September 24, 1945 – May 17, 2021)[1] was a chemist, best known for her work in developing valve-regulated lead-acid batteries. Her theoretical and statistical modeling of the electrochemistry of batteries led to better understanding of processes such as corrosion and advances in battery design.[2] Her work has applications for hybrid and electric cars, residential fuel cell systems and solar energy storage.[1][2][3][4][5] Kathryn Bullock has published over 60 technical papers and holds at least 11 U.S. patents.[2] She served as vice-president of the Electrochemical Society in 1992 and as president from 1995 to 1996.[1] Bullock died on May 17, 2021, from Alzheimer's Disease.[6]
