D. from the University of Houston. Her doctoral dissertation title was "A Search for a Strangeness = -1 Spin Singlet Dibaryon using the Reaction 3He(K-,?+)nX.", with thesis advisor Ed V. Hungerford III. Her post-doctoral training was at the Los Alamos National Laboratory on the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center experiment,[2] formerly known as the "LAMPF" experiment.[3][4] Her B.S. was Magna cum laude in 1982, with a senior honors thesis entitled "An Investigation of the Degradation of Black Chrome on Nickel Substrates in different Atmospheres and varying Temperatures". [5]
