There, among other things, she headed the team that designed software for the famous Chandra space telescope.
And although, as Conroy is quick to note, she is not an astronomer, her work quite clearly applies math and technology to man’s, and woman’s, enormous reach to the sky. Click here to read about Maureen Conroy
