User:HoneyBee91/Sylvia Lundy Miller

Sylvia Lundy Miller was one of the last human computers hired by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory​ (JPL). More precisely, she was hired by Helen Ling and thus became part of a group of women known as "Helen's Girls". Miller began working at JPL in 1968 and carried out a forty year career before retiring in 2008.​ Shortly before joining JPL Miller earned a bachelor's degree in math from Douglass College in New Jersey​. Later, while employed at JPL, she took night classes to work towards a master’s degree in engineering which she received from West Coast University​. Two of Miller's most notable contributions were her work on Voyager & Voyager 2 (which launched first)​. In a glimpse into her personal life, Miller often compared the loss of funding/projects to her divorce (which was still kind of a taboo at that time).
