Bio
Abraham De la Cruz Hernandez
I have known Jessica for the last 6 years. I applaud her contribution, as a woman in science, designing miniaturized analytical devices for field and space applications. She is smart and kind and a great mentor always supporting and helping other team members get up to speed. In fact, she kindly agreed to train me on the use of a ion simulation software, she is an expert on, for a post doc position working for the European Space Agency in Luxembourg. She will be a great fit and valuable asset to any company looking for a professional that has strong science and analytical skills, capable of working with people from cultures and backgrounds, and has a considerate and generous heart.
