Susan D. Richardson is the Arthur Sease Williams Professor of Chemistry at the University of South Carolina.[1] Richardson's research primarily focuses on emerging environmental contaminants, particularly those affecting drinking water systems and including disinfection by-products (DBPs) that can occur in water purification systems.[2][3] She is a member of the National Academy of Engineering.[4]
Education
[edit]She earned her bachelor's degree in chemistry and mathematics at Georgia College & State University. Additionally, she completed her Ph.D. in chemistry at Emory University, under the direction of Fred Menger.[5][6] She received an honorary doctorate from Cape Breton University.[7]
Career and awards
[edit]Prior to joining the faculty at University of South Carolina, Richardson worked at the National Exposure Research Laboratory of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for 25 years, first as a postdoctoral fellow and then a research chemist.[5][8][9]
Richardson has been the recipient of numerous awards, including (among others): American Chemical Society Award for Creative Advances in Environmental Science and Technology (2008),[10] Fellow of the American Chemical Society (2016); Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (2019); the Herty Medal (2020).[11]
Richardson served on a number of board positions with the American Society for Mass Spectrometry: Treasurer (2002-2004), Vice President for Programs (2018-2020), and President (2020-2022).[12] In 2023, she was named one of the top ten "Connectors and Interdisciplinarians" in the Power List by the Analytical Scientist.[13] In 2024, she was ranked #2 in the "Plant Protectors" field of the Analytical Scientist Power List.[14]
