In her work, Moore calculated the vibrational modes of many nonlinear organic molecules that contain secondary chloride atoms.
Her goal was to complete a potential field that could be used in normal coordinate analyses to predict the vibrational modes of all secondary chlorides.
With her data Moore obtained a force field for secondary chlorides and used it to calculate the vibrational frequencies of crystalline PVC.
[16] From 1961 to 1962 Moore worked at a Junior engineer at Bendix Aerospace Systems, where she calculated the radiation from various types of plasmas and also wrote proposals.
Then from 1962-1963 Moore took a job at Barnes Engineering Company where she worked on approximating the IR radiation from wakes of space reentry vehicles.
[1] She did this in part by writing a technical paper which communicated the concepts of Japanese engineer Genichi Taguchi as working design methods for practical use.
[19] According to firsthand interviews with family members, Krimm, former students and mentees Moore was “highly intelligent, witty, empathetic, and kindhearted with a mild New Jersey accent”.
[2] Moore was a tutor at the Saturday African-American Academy in Ann Arbor, a community program for teaching science and mathematics to students in grades 5–12.
Moore was also a chairwomen of the Juanita S. Woods Scholarship fund and a part of the Jill and Jack of America organization.
