【简介】

In March 2000, the American Chemical Society (ACS) awarded Dr. Hoffman its highest honor, the Priestley Medal. Other awards include the ACS Garvan-Olin Medal, the ACS Award for Nuclear Chemistry, Guggenheim Fellowship, membership in the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She serves on a host of advisory and review committees.

She is an internationally recognized leader in nuclear and radiochemistry. Major accomplishments of Hoffman and her group include: discovery of plutonium-244 in nature; first observation of enhanced symmetric mass division in spontaneous fission in heavy fermium (element 100) isotopes; first direct proof of electron-capture delayed fission; development of "atom-at-a-time" techniques to investigate chemical properties of heavy elements with half-lives of minutes or less; first aqueous chemistry of element 105; first chemistry of seaborgium (element 106) and bohrium (element 107); and production of the SuperHeavy Elements 114, 116, and 118.
