Andrea Maria Hodge is a Colombian-born materials scientist and academic leader. She is the Department Chair of the Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science at University of Southern California, and the Arthur B. Freeman Professor and Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.[1] She is a leader in engineered nanomaterials research, with a focus on synthesis of micro- and nanoscale structures and structured grain boundaries.
Hodge pursued undergraduate studies in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and completed her Ph.D. in 2002 in material science at Northwestern University under the mentorship of Julia Weertman.[2] She worked as a postdoctoral scholar, and then staff scientist, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from 2002 until 2007.[3]
Research
Hodge's oversees the Hodge Materials Research Group,[4] and her academic research efforts on nanoporous gold is most well known and cited.[5]
