Christine Orme
Christine A. Orme is an American physicist who studies the growth and decay of materials at surfaces,
especially focusing on biomineralization. She is a Senior Staff Scientist at the Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory, working in the BioNanomaterials Group of the Physical and Life Sciences
Directorate.[1]
Education and career
Orme majored in physics at the University of California, Berkeley, graduating in 1986. She completed her
Ph.D. in 1995 at the University of Michigan,[1] working there with Bradford Orr.[2]
After completing her Ph.D. she became a postdoctoral researcher at the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, and continued there as a staff researcher.[2]
Recognition
Orme was a 2002 winner of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.[3] She was
elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2009, after a nomination from the APS
Division of Materials Physics, "for her outstanding contributions in understanding the fundamental
physics of crystallization and materials assembly with application to biomineralizaion, biomimetic
synthesis, and shape control of nanostructures".[4] In 2010 she was given the Department of Energy
Outstanding Mentor Award.[5]
