Raised in the Bronx, Dresselhaus received her high school degree at Hunter College and High School. She then received her undergraduate degree at Hunter College and High School in New York in 1951, and was counseled by future Nobel Prize winner Rosalyn Yalow to pursue further education in physics. She carried out postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge on a Fulbright Fellowship and Harvard University, where she received her MA from Radcliffe College. She received a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1958 where she studied under Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi. She then spent two years at Cornell University.]]> 2018-04-13 14:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/joel0051/h8wa2tqd8oas/wish/251577052 joel0051 https://padlet.com/joel0051/h8wa2tqd8oas/wish/251577169 Over the course of her life she achieved many accomplishments, including  (Newest to Oldest)

Her group made frequent use of electronic band structure, Raman scattering and the photophysics of carbon nanostructures. Her research helped develop technology based on thin graphite which allow electronics to be almost everywhere, including clothing and smartphones.]]> 2018-04-13 14:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/joel0051/h8wa2tqd8oas/wish/251578281 joel0051 https://padlet.com/joel0051/h8wa2tqd8oas/wish/251598001

Enrico Fermi was a large influence while Mildred studied at Radcliffe earning her PHD, he is often refereed as the architect of the Atomic bomb

Rosalyn Yalow was also a big influence on a young Mildred Dresselhaus, She taught Mildred's favorite classes at Hunter and pushed her to continue following physics
