Prof. Ortony completed her Ph.D. in Prof. Songi Han’s group at U.C. Santa Barbara. Prof. Ortony’s graduate work involved developing instrumentation based on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for measuring the motion of water on molecular length scales in soft matter. Prof. Ortony’s postdoctoral research was under Prof. Samuel Stupp at Northwestern University. Since starting her research group in 2016, Prof. Ortony’s team has focused on supramolecular chemistry and dynamics. Details about her research program can be found here.
