Susan Hess

Susan Hess is a researcher affiliated with the University of New Hampshire in Durham. Her published work spans topics including plant physiology, environmental chemistry, and optical instrumentation for lens testing.[1]

Research

According to Semantic Scholar, Hess has authored 35 papers that have collectively been cited 1,081 times, giving her an h-index of 19.[2] Her body of work includes studies on plant responses to UV-B radiation, photochemical efficiency and photoprotective pigments in shade-tolerant plant species, antioxidant capacity and phenolic compounds in potato landrace clones grown in southern Chile, and heavy metal distribution in soils of horticultural farms in Botswana.[3][4][5][6]

She has also published on the behavior of polyelectrolytes in aqueous solution, including the control of C.I. Basic Violet 10 aggregation using poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) and the reduction of 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride in the presence of polyelectrolytes containing 4-styrenesulfonate moieties, the latter published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry B.[7][8] Related work examined the reduction of UVA and UVB radiation reflection through the application of polyphenol particles on concrete surfaces.[9]

More recently, her work has addressed optical testing instrumentation, including publications describing the LensCheck system and its thermal module for testing small lenses over extreme temperature ranges.[10][11]
