Sherry Yennello Sherry J. Yennello, Ph.D. is an American nuclear chemist and an Elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science . She is a Regents Professor and the holder of the Cyclotron Institute Bright Chair in Nuclear Science, who currently serves as the Director of the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University . She is also a Fellow of the American Chemical Society and the American Physical Society . She has authored as well as co-authored more than 530 peer reviewed journal articles and has conducted many invited talks, presentations and seminars at several prestigious academic conferences and scholarly lectures.Education Professor Yennello received a B.S. in Chemistry from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1985, following which she also received a B.S. in Physics in 1986. She continued her education with her Ph.D. studies in Nuclear Chemistry at Indiana University , where she also worked as an Associate Instructor. She completed her doctoral studies in 1990, and began her career as a post-doctoral Research Associate at the at Michigan State University .Professional career In 1993, she joined Texas A&M University, College Station as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry . Her significant contributions to research and academia during her tenure at Texas A&M, led her to serve as the Program Director for Nuclear Physics for the National Science Foundation , for a period of two years from 2000 to 2002. She was appointed as an Associate Dean for Diversity for the in 2004, following which she also served as the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives for the same. She was awarded the title of Regents Professor by Texas A&M University in 2007.

Over the years, she has supervised and been a research adviser to more than 80 students, including post-doctoral research fellows , graduate and undergraduate students.Research Interests Dr. Yennello's research interests include accelerator based heavy-ion reactions to study the dynamics and thermodynamics of excited nuclear matter and elucidate the nuclear equation of state , particularly the density dependence of the symmetry term, which has implications for the formation of elements and other astrophysical processes. The focuses on further constraining this density dependence using heavy-ion collisions . Utilizing the K500 and K150 cyclotrons, heavy-ion projectiles are accelerated to up to 40% the speed of light and collided with stationary targets. These reactions are important for studying structure, chemical composition , and the evolution of neutron stars and dynamics of supernovae explosions.Awards Dr. Yennello's contributions to the domain of nuclear physics and chemistry has been well acknowledged internationally, and she has been the recipient of several prestigious awards and honors over the span of her career. Some of the prominent awards received by her are listed below: GE Foundation Faculty for the Future Award, 1993 Oak Ridge Associate Universities Junior Faculty Enhancement Award, 1993 NSF Young Investigator Award, 1994 TAMU Center for Teaching Excellence Scholar, 1995 Sigma Xi National Young Investigator Award, 2000 University Faculty Fellow, 2000 Women’s Spirit Month Award, 2002 Fellow, American Physical Society, Elected 2005 Regents Professor, 2007 Association of Former Students Distinguished Award for Teaching – College Level, 2008 ACS Francis P.
