Susan M. Kauzlarich is an American chemist and is presently a distinguished professor of chemistry at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis).[1] At UC Davis, Kauzlarich leads a research group focused on the synthesis and characterization of Zintl phases and nanoclusters with applications in the fields of thermoelectric materials,[2][3][4] magnetic resonance imaging, energy storage,[5] opto-electronics, and drug delivery. Kauzlarich has published over 250 peer-reviewed publications and has been awarded several patents.[6] In 2009, Kauzlarich received the annual Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring, which is administered by the National Science Foundation to acknowledge faculty members who raise the membership of minorities, women and disabled students in the science and engineering fields.[7] In January 2022 she became Deputy Editor for the scientific journal, Science Advances. She gave the Edward Herbert Boomer Memorial Lecture of the University of Alberta in 2023.[8]
