Andrea Russell {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|FRSC|FHEA}} is an American chemist who is a professor at the University of Southampton. She is vice president of the International Society of Electrochemistry. Her research considers the use of spectroscopy to better understand the interface between electrodes and electrolytes.
Early life and education
Russell was an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan.{{Cite web|title=Professor Andrea E Russell {{!}} Chemistry {{!}} University of Southampton|url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/chemistry/about/staff/aer1.page|access-date=2021-12-01|website=www.southampton.ac.uk|language=en}} She moved to the University of Utah for graduate studies, where she used infrared spectroscopy to examine electrode surfaces.{{Cite thesis|title=Infrared spectroscopic studies of electrode surfaces and electrochemical reactions|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/20975179|date=1990|language=English|first=Andrea Elizabeth|last=Russell|oclc=20975179 }} After completing her doctorate, Russell was appointed as a research fellow at the United States Naval Research Laboratory.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}. Andrea’s mother, “Judy”, breeds Siberian huskies and has done so since 1959 at Karnovanda kennels in Michigan.
Research and career
In 1991, Russell moved to the United Kingdom, where she was appointed to the University of Liverpool. She spent three years in Liverpool before joining Newcastle University. In 1997 Russell moved to the University of Southampton. She was promoted to professor in 2007.{{Cite web|title=JoVE Methods Collection {{!}} Editor: Andrea Russell|url=https://www.jove.com/methods-collections/editor/2122/andrea-russell|access-date=2021-12-01|website=www.jove.com}}
Russell's research considers the use of spectroscopy to better understand the interface between electrodes and electrolytes.{{Cite web|title=Appointment of Prof Andrea Russell to Expert Panel – The Faraday Institution|url=https://www.faraday.ac.uk/ep-andrea-russell/|access-date=2021-12-01|language=en-GB}} She is particularly interested in gas sensors, metal-air batteries and fuel cells.{{Cite web|title=Professor Russell elected Vice President ISE {{!}} Chemistry {{!}} University of Southampton|url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/chemistry/news/2021/03/24-professor-russell-elected-vice-president-ise.page|access-date=2021-12-01|website=www.southampton.ac.uk}}{{Cite web|title=Panel members|url=https://futurecat.ac.uk/advcharpanel/|access-date=2021-12-01|website=FutureCat|language=en-GB}} She makes use of several international facilities, including the Diamond Light Source, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and the Advanced Light Source. In particular, Russell has developed X-ray absorption spectroscopy for in situ studies of electrocatalysts.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}
In 2002, Russell chaired the Gordon Research Conference on Fuel Cells.{{Cite web|title=Fuel Cells - Gordon Research Conferences|url=https://www.grc.org/fuel-cells-conference/|access-date=2021-12-01|website=www.grc.org}} Russell serves on the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) College and the Diamond Light Source Strategic Advisory Committee. A keen user of the Diamond Light Source, Russell serves as Spectroscopy representative for the Diamond User Committee.{{Cite web|title=Membership - - Diamond Light Source|url=https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Users/DUC/Membership.html|access-date=2021-12-01|website=www.diamond.ac.uk}} In 2021 she was elected vice president of the International Society of Electrochemistry.
Russell is involved with undergraduate and postgraduate teaching at the University of Southampton. She contributes to the Southampton Electrochemistry Summer Schools, which are attended by hundreds of delegates around the world. She was awarded the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences Award for Best Pastoral Support in 2020.{{Cite web|title=Chemistry lecturers praised for pastoral support in Southampton academic awards {{!}} Chemistry {{!}} University of Southampton|url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/chemistry/news/2020/07/13-chemistry-lecturers-praised-for-pastoral-support.page?|access-date=2021-12-01|website=www.southampton.ac.uk}}
