Jami Valentine (born 3 December 1974) is a patent examiner at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. She was the first African American woman to graduate with a PhD in physics from Johns Hopkins University. She created the website AAWIP.com,[1] which celebrates African American Women in Physics.

Early life and education

Valentine was born in Philadelphia. During junior high she joined the Philadelphia Regional Introduction for Minorities to Engineering (PRIME) program, which prepared her for a career in physics or mathematics.[2] She attended high school at Murrell Dobbins Vocational School, graduating in 1992.[2] She completed a bachelor's degree in physics at Florida A&M University, which she graduated cum laude in 1996.[3] Whilst at FAMU she was a "Life-Gets-Better" scholar, which allowed her to work as a summer research assistant at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.[4] She also worked in the Center for Nonlinear and Nonequilibrim Aeroscience.[5] She moved Brown University{{clarify|date=September 2018}} for her postgraduate studies, earning a master's degree in 1998.[3] Valentine joined Chia-Ling Chien{{who|date=September 2018}} at Johns Hopkins University, where she worked on spintronics.[3][6] Her research focussed on novel rare earth metals for memory applications.[2] She successfully defended her dissertation, "Spin Polarization Measurements of Rare Earth Thin Films", in 2006.[7]

Career

As a PhD student, Valentine realized that there were not many professors who looked like her.[8] From 1973 to 2012, only 66 black American women earned PhDs in physics, compared to 22,172 white men.[9] She became involved with national efforts to improve diversity in physics.[10] She developed the website AAWIP.com, which honours the contributions of African American women to physics.[8] She has made efforts to meet as many of them as she can.[11] She has worked with the National Society of Black Physicists to increase awareness of underrepresented groups to physics.[12]

She joined United States Patent and Trademark Office as an electrical engineer, working on semiconductor and spintronic memory devices.[13][8] In 2012 she was appointed primary examiner.[8][14]

Honors and awards

She has been an invited speaker at several physics conferences as well as appearing on podcasts.[15] In February 2017 she was honored by the National Society of Black Physicists for distinguished service to the organization.[16] In 2016, she was honored with the Florida A & M University Distinguished Alumni Award.[17] She is an invited plenary speaker for the 2019 Physics Congress where she will address more than 1,500 physics and astronomy students.[18]
