里士满博士于1980年在加州大学伯克利分校获得物理化学博士学位。里士满博士的职业生涯始于物理科学领域唯一的女性终身教职化学家，她开始并坚持了15年以上，指导本科生女性和少数族裔进入博士或医学博士或医学博士职业生涯。这位最具竞争力的总统导师奖候选人除了取得了以下成就外，还成功地平衡了尖端研究项目和有两个年幼孩子的活跃的家庭生活：俄勒冈大学化学物理研究所所长。美国化学学会1996年加文奖章获得者。为来自非研究机构的学生开发和指导暑期研究项目。因教学优秀而获奖无数。作为榜样具有很高的知名度。没有一名研究生在离开实验室时没有获得硕士或博士学位。来自全国各地“高功率”实验室或行业同行的学生写出了令人印象深刻的信件。

Dr. Richmond received her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of California-Berkeley in 1980. Beginning her career as the only female tenure track chemist in the physical sciences, Dr. Richmond began and has sustained over 15 years of mentoring undergraduate women and minorities into Ph.D. or MD careers. This most competitive nominee for the presidential mentoring award has managed to balance a "cutting edge" research program and an active family life with two young children, in addition to the following achievements: Director of the University of Oregon's Chemical Physics Institute. Recipient of the 1996 Garvan Medal from the American Chemical Society. Developer and director of summer research programs for students from non-research institutions. Numerous awards for teaching excellence. High visibility as a role model. No graduate student has left her lab without an MS or Ph.D. Impressive letters from students who have become peers in "high power" laboratories or industries across the country.
