- Susan grew up in a
suburb on Long Island, New York with her parents and older brother. Knowing she wanted to
major in science, she chose Pembroke College, as a coordinate college that offered the
benefits of a big university science education with the comfort and security of a small female
college. Following Brown, she received a graduate degree in physics from the University of
Pennsylvania and a PhD in physics from Princeton. She worked at Bell Laboratory doing applied
research and development. Susan is married and has three children.
