Janine Shertzer (born 1956)[1] is an American computational physicist known for her application of the finite element method to few-body systems in atomic physics.
She is a distinguished professor of science at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Shertzer graduated in 1978 from Loyola University Maryland with a double major in physics and English.
[4] Shertzer was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2005, after a nomination from the APS Topical Group on Few-Body Systems, "for her ground-breaking introduction of novel finite-element techniques in calculations of bound state and scattering properties of atomic and molecular systems".
[5] The College of the Holy Cross gave her their 2015 Distinguished Teaching Award.
