Early career and education edit
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 edit
Hodge's oversees the Hodge Materials Research Group,[4] and her academic research efforts on nanoporous gold is most well known and cited.[5]
Academic leadership edit
Hodge has engaged in a variety of academic advisory appointments and STEM outreach activities.[6] She is on the board of advisors for the mechanical engineering department at the University of California, Riverside,[7] and the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University.[8] Hodge's is the 2020 recipient of the Julia and Johannes Weertman Educator Award, which recognizes her efforts towards improving education and educational leadership in materials science and metallurgy.[9][10]
