Why Is Veronica Vaida Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Veronica Vaida is a Romanian-American chemist and professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is an expert in environmental chemistry and aerosols. Early life and education Vaida was born in Bucharest. Her parents were from Transylvania and met after World War II. Her mother survived an Auschwitz concentration camp and her father was a political prisoner. She attended a Hungarian school in Cluj-Napoca and moved back to Bucharest in 1963. She studied chemistry at the University of Bucharest. After seeing a US position advertised in 1969, she moved to Brown University, working on detectors for molecular beams. She joined Yale University for her postgraduate studies in 1973, but struggled to find an academic mentor because the male academics thought organic chemistry was "unsuitable for women". Her original mentor was Geraldine A. Kenney-Wallace, who left to set up the first ultrafast spectroscopy lab at the University of Toronto. She eventually obtained her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1977.
