Re: [RCU]: Women in Technology Chat- Join Us
*If you are new to the RCU Yahoo! Group - PLEASE try to log into the
chat sometime in the next three days - we find that people sometimes
need to pull down an applet or modify their firewall settings in
order to participate. You don't want to be doing that while the chat
is going on.*
As said earlier we would be having a guest speaker on our chat and here is a short bio on our guest speaker Gwen Donahue:
Ms. Donahue went to the University of Massachusetts – Lowell for Chemical
Engineering and to Middlesex Community College for Hazardous
Materials Management. She started her career at Dupont-New England
Nuclear working as a technician for cancer research in the Immuno-
pharmaceutical research and Development department. From there she
worked at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and then MIT (campus) working on
semiconductor and MEMS (Micro-Electrical-Mechanical Systems) devices;
and helped the graduate students at MIT with processing issues and
equipment related problems. Ms. Donahue worked on various projects such as
Drug Delivery devices, Micro-Engines (Rockets, Pumps and Generators)
and built a few charged-coupled devices (CCD's) that were installed
in several satellites. She also worked on Night-vision technology in
the early 90's. Recently she took a job at MicroCHIPS, INC. as a
MEMS Engineer building drug delivery devices and does most of her
research at MIT. When Ms. Donahue is not working, she is a mentor on Bishop
Guertin High School's 1st Robotics team 811. She also enjoys time
with her family and plays saxophone in a band.
We hope you will join us in meeting this wonderful lady.
Remember it's October 16th at 8:00 EST. Mark it on your calender today!!!
Thank you again Ms. Donahue for joining and speaking to us. And everyone else thank you again for your continue support for the RCU.
