Additional Information/Comments:

Dr. Sengers is married to Dr. Jan Vincent Sengers  with whom she  frequently publishes. They have have four children.

Dr. Sengers was born and educated in Amsterdam.  She wrote " A an immigrant to the United State I have found at the national Bureau of Standards [ now NIST ]  a work environment where I felt welcome and accepted, where even in the 1960's women scientists had successful careers, where special arrangments were made for me while I was raising my family, and where I was given all support to succeed."
 

• Dr. Sengers took an interest in the practical applications of critical point properties. Below are some important publications in this area.
