Dr. Judit Zador

Judit Zádor received her PhD in Physical Chemistry at the Eötvös University in 2006 in Budapest, Hungary, under the guidance of Tamás Turányi. She spent a year at the University of Leeds, UK, working on atmospheric chemistry problems with Michael J. Pilling, and was a post- doctoral associate in the group of Sándor Dóbé at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences doing experimental kinetics work. She joined the Combustion Research Facility of Sandia National Laboratories in 2007 as a postdoctoral associate working with Craig A. Taatjes and James A. Miller, and is currently a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff. She works on the theoretical description of chemical reactions that happen on complicated multiwell potential energy surfaces and have relevance to combustion, atmospheric chemistry, or heterogeneous catalysis.
