Cheryl J. Marshall

Cheryl J. Marshall received a B.S. in Chemistry and Physics from Georgetown University in 1979 and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986. She has been primarily interested in displacement damage and single event effects resulting from the natural space radiation environment in photonic devices and subsystems, first at the Naval research Laboratory (1986-1998), and since then at the NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center. Dr. Marshall retired from NASA in September 2013, and is currently volunteering as a NASA Scientist Emeritus mentoring other scientists in radiation effects in scientific sensors for satellites. Throughout her career, Cheryl has worked with colleagues at government, industry and university laboratories to develop an understanding of the effects of the space radiation environment on advanced scientific focal plane assemblies and fiber optic data buss applications. The resulting knowledge combined with experimental and analytical techniques enables the on-orbit prediction of the performance of these critical technologies so that the deployed subsystems can be designed to be robust during their mission lifetimes. While at NASA, Cheryl lead the NASA Electronics Parts and Packaging (NEPP) Advanced Sensor efforts and supported the evaluation and qualification of scientific detector focal planes for numerous flight projects including the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (while at NRL), a series of Hubble Space Telescope detectors, the James Webb Space Telescope, the GOES mission and follow-on, the Landsat Data Continuity Mission instruments, Solar Orbiter, etc. Professional recognition includes a Robert H. Goddard Honor Award and 3 NSREC Outstanding paper awards. Cheryl has served the NSREC community as a reviewer, session chair, poster chair, short course presenter and technical program chair. Cheryl's efforts have contributed to over 100 peer-reviewed publications. Her citation reads: For contributions to the understanding of the basic mechanisms of displacement damage and single event effects in microelectronic and photonic devices.

Additionally, he has developed analytical models for single event upset and single event pulse broadening, and he has been involved in the creation of novel fault-tolerant circuit designs, including DILL, DCC, SNACC, and hardened A/MS subsystems including ADCs, PLLs, and SERDES. This work has been supported by the DoD across DTRA, NRO, USN, USAF, OSD, DARPA; and by many of the commercial firms involved in the Defense Industrial Base. He has over 400 publications in the area. In the 1990's, Dr. Massengill helped establish the Radiation Effects Research Group at Vanderbilt, now the world's largest academic group specializing in the effects of radiation on ICs. Over his career he has trained many young engineers in the fields of rad-effects modeling and rad-hard design of integrated circuits, many of whom remain in this field today. In 2003, he co-founded the Vanderbilt Institute for Space and Defense Electronics, an academic center providing research-driven engineering support for mission-critical microelectronic circuits. This center has provided a radiation-vulnerability assessment for every major technology node to 7nm and the primary radiation-response models to the DoD in support of several major acquisition programs, including the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. In 2016, he founded Reliable MicroSystems LLC, a design services company specializing in concept-to-foundry creation of high-reliability electronics for fault-tolerant applications. He established Reliable MicroSystems to meet customer-driven needs for the application of advances in fundamental research to applied hi-reliability system design, both commercial and DoD. Dr. Massengill has been Guest Editor for the IEEE Trans. on Nuclear Science, Technical Program Chair, Short Course Chair, and General Chair for the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference. He has also served as Chairman of the HEART Society Steering Group. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.

Reno Harboe-Sørensen

Reno Harboe-Sørensen started his space career in 1970 when he joined the components laboratory of the European Space Research Organisation (ESRO) where he performed Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) on semiconductors, X-Ray analysis and supported other failure analysis work and evaluation activities. By 1975, when ESRO was integrated into the newly founded European Space Agency (ESA), Reno had started to turn his interest to radiation effects and employed the SEM as a micro radiation source and characterized device behavior under x-ray influence. In the following years, together with the late Len Adams, Reno developed a profound know-how on radiation effects and increased the awareness about radiation effects in ESA projects. Since that time he has planned, performed and reported hundreds of radiation test campaigns and initiated numerous studies on basic mechanisms and novel test approaches. In the process, Reno has become a widely recognized expert with a particular focus on Single Event Effects. His involvement in the development and improvement of European test facilities for radiation effects studies, such as the PIF, HIF and RADEF has been of crucial importance. Reno's contribution to the space radiation effects community is impressively documented through his publications at NSREC and RADECS, through his forming influence on many of his young peers and through his constructive involvement in the RADECS Association.
