SAMANTHA ROSENBERG is is a Research Scientist Staff member at Lockheed Martin Space. Samantha studied chemistry and physics at Northeastern University. She then continued to Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a Ph.D. in surface science, using XPS to track the decomposition of organometallic ligands. Samantha was appointed as a post-doc at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas using XPS, UPS, and IPES to study solar cells. Whilst there, she also used XES and XFS at the ALS to provide deeper insight into these materials. Samantha then successfully applied to be an ASEE post-doctoral fellow at the Naval Research Laboratory. At NRL, Samantha worked on using plasma assisted ALE for 3N semiconductors, using a suite of surface science techniques, including synchrotron techniques, to characterize their growth. After NRL, Samantha moved to Sandia National Labs where she worked for 3.5 years, running their XPS and AES.  Samantha moved to Lockheed Martin in March, to operate their surface analysis equipment and sputter deposition tools. Samantha recently became certified in facilitating mentor training.

Samantha is a review editor of Surface Analysis. She is also a member of the ASSD committee, where she is currently a member-at-large and has contributed to developing the scientific programs of many ASSD meetings.
