Professor Crone Odekon is an astrophysicist who studies the formation of galaxies and large-scale structure of the universe. She has approached the problem from multiple perspectives, including computer simulations, Hubble Space Telescope observations and, most recently, radio telescope data from Arecibo.  Besides attending the College of William and Mary and the University of Michigan, she also worked at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the University of Pittsburgh. Arriving at Skidmore in 1997, she took the position of Charles Lubin Family Chair for Women in Science, which she held for six years.
