She is currently the lead engineer for the optical telescope assembly (OTA) for the Roman Space Telescope. Elaine supported the James Webb Space Telescope mission. Webb has been releasing images investigating questions on galaxies\, star cycles\, and first ligh t after the Big Bang since July 12\, 2021. Elaine attended the University of Delaware for her undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering and is pu rsuing a Master’s in Space Systems Engineering at Johns Hopkins\n\n \n\n 10:50 Session - Panel Discussion\, DuPont employees talk about their c areers and will answer questions if time: \n\n \n\nDiego Lugo joined DuPon t in 2018 as an Applications Engineer\, where he uses a combination of kno wledge and testing to find the best applications for DuPont’s new and ex isting products. He also works closely with customers to solve their speci fic challenges in the CMP field. He previously worked for Dow Chemical in Newark\, DE\, first in the Polishing Lab and then as a Process Engineer fo r the M6 pilot line. In his free time\, Diego enjoys golf\, hiking\, cooki ng\, and hanging out with his dog. Diego has a Bachelor’s degree in Chem ical Engineering and a Master’s degree\n\n \n\nSamantha Morelly joined D uPont in 2019 as a Senior Scientist on the Core Analytical Sciences team. She is a rheology subject matter expert\, and works with product developme nt and manufacturing support\; recent projects include automotive adhesive s and products made from recycled plastic. Outside of work\, Samantha enjo ys fiber arts (needlepoint\, crochet\, etc.) and has recently been learnin g to repair clothing through a method called darning. Samantha has a Bache lor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida and a PhD from Drexel University’s Department of Chemical Engineering.
