Extraordinary research
is underway at the University of Delaware, and women are all over it—
exploring everything from big data to nanomaterials, microbes, catalysis, the bottom of the ocean, cultural artifacts around the world, the way people com- municate and the roots of far- away objects in the solar system.
Here, seven UD researchers and a celebrated mentor offer insight into the breadth and promise of their work, what inspires them, what has hindered them, what keeps them going.
