She became the first woman faculty member in the chemistry department in University of California, Berkeley. Her group has discovered that room temperature nuclear tunneling occurs among various enzymatic reactions, and clarified the dynamics of tunneling process through data analysis. They have also discovered the quino-enzymes.[1] In 2014, she received the National Medal of Science.[2]
