Shelia Nash-Stevenson is an integration engineer for the Planetary Programs Missions Office at Marshall Space Flight Center. She was the first African-American woman to earn a PhD in physics at the Alabama A&M University.

Early life and education

Nash-Stevenson was born and raised in Lawrence County, Alabama.[1] She graduated from Austin High School at the age of sixteen.[2] She studied science and electronic and electrical engineering at Alabama A&M University in 1981.[3][4] She was the first person to graduate from the Alabama A&M University physics masters program, where she was a NASA Fellow.[2] She worked at Marshall Space Flight Center. Her professor, M. C. George, encouraged her to enter a PhD program.[2] She was the first African-American woman to earn a doctorate in physics at the Alabama A&M University in 1994.[1] During her postgraduate studies she had two children.[2] She is three-times Magna cum Laude.[1] At the time she was one of fewer than twenty African-American women with a physics PhD in the United States.[1][5] She was a member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.[4] She worked on photon avalanche upconversion.[6]

Career

Nash-Stevenson joined the United States Army Ballistic Missile Defense Systems Command.[1] She holds a patent for an optical fiber holder.[1] She joined Nichols Research Corporation as a scientist, then Hughes Aircraft Company as a technical researcher.[3] She joined the instrumentation group in Marshall Space Flight Center's avionics lab, where she worked for nearly ten years.[2] She was awarded a NASA Fellowship in 1998, and eventually joined the space craft and vehicle systems group.[2][7] During her fellowship she returned to Alabama A&M University as a professor. She was at Kennedy Space Center to watch the STS-95 launch.[7] She spoke at the 2013 Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics.[8]

In 2013 Huntsville, Alabama recognised her efforts for the community. She is the only African-American to serve on the Madison City School Board[1][9] and she's a member of the Madison Rotary Club.[3][10]

She won the Modern Figure award of NASA and was selected to attend the premiere of Hidden Figures.[1][11] She took part in several panel discussions and interviews after the film was released.[2][12][13][14][15][16] She gave the convocation talk at Elms College in 2017.[17] In 2018 she was honoured by the WEDC Foundation Women Honoring Women program.[18] She was featured in the AT&T Alabama African-American calendar.[19]
