Claudia Alexander
Claudia Joan Alexander (May 30, 1959 – July 11, 2015) was an American research scientist specializing in geophysics and planetary science.〔〔 She worked for the United States Geological Survey and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She was the last project manager of NASA's ''Galileo'' mission to Jupiter and until the time of her death had served as project manager and scientist of NASA's role in the European-led ''Rosetta'' mission to study Comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko.〔
== Early life and education ==
Alexander was born in Canada but raised in Santa Clara, California by her mother, Gaynelle, and father, Harold. She had two siblings: Suzanne and David. 〔 Alexander wanted to be a journalist but her parents—who were paying for her education—wanted her to become an engineer.〔 After a summer job at the Ames Research Center, she became interested in planetary science. Although she had been hired to work in the engineering section, she would sneak off to the science section where she found that not only was she good at the work, but that it was easier and more enjoyable to her than she had expected.〔Association for Women Geoscientists (profile of Alexander )〕
In 1983 Alexander received a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley in geophysics,〔 which she thought would be a good background for a planetary scientist.〔 Alexander earned her Master's from the University of California, Los Angeles in geophysics and space physics in 1985.〔 Her masters' thesis used Pioneer Venus Orbiter data to study solar cycle variations in extreme ultraviolet radiation of the Venus ionosphere and its interaction with the solar wind.〔 She earned her Ph.D. in the physics of space plasma from the University of Michigan in 1993〔—where she was named "Woman of the Year."
