Susana Teixeira graduated in Chemical Engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon in 1997, majoring in Applied Chemistry. She received a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Reading (England), for X-ray crystallographic studies of biomacromolecular structures of interest in Food and Pharmaceuticals. Susana worked for 12 years at the European Photon and Neutron campus (Grenoble, France), first joining the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) as a Keele University Postdoctoral Research Associate. From 2008 to 2015, Susana was a joint Lecturer and Instrument Scientist, splitting her teaching and research activities between France and England. Susana is currently a Research Associate Professor at the University of Delaware, and a Guest Researcher at the NIST Center for Neutron Research. As an Instrument Scientist in the Small Angle Neutron Scattering group of the NCNR, she is committed to R&D to enable in-situ measurements in relatively extreme conditions, such as high hydrostatic pressure and low temperatures. Susana is one of the NCNR Directors for undergraduate internships, which include the SURF and CORE programs. At the University of Delaware, Susana is committed to training the next generations of neutron users, teaching and training students both at graduate and undergraduate levels.
