Susan S. Wojtowicz

Co-Team Leader for Recombinant DNA Labs, Member of Materials Science Team

Sue Wojtowicz is currently a member of the Electromagnetic Systems Division where she contributes to a Maglev project for the Air Force. She has a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois and a Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Michigan. She joined General Atomics in the Fall of 1979 as part of the Fusion group studying controlled thermonuclear fusion in the Doublet III tokamak. Sue has operated diagnostics utilizing x-ray and visible light in order to investigate the high temperature plasmas of the fusion environment.

Sue has contributed to other smaller programs at GA involving novel plasma devices and was part of an internal R&D organization where she was responsible for carrying out experiments in high temperature superconductivity. During this time, she took a UCSD Extension class on Introduction to Molecular and Cellular Biology in order to communicate with the group of biologists that had been employed in her group at GA.

Sue has been active in Education Outreach for several years, teaching an extracurricular class on the electromagnetic spectrum for grades 4 to 6 and by supporting the Recombinant DNA Labs team. More recently, she has contributed to the Chromatics unit within the Materials Science module.

Sue is a member of the American Physical Society.
