Systems Engineer, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

When Yahel De La Cruz isn’t keeping the computer systems humming at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, she is busy recruiting the next generation of Latino scientists. In fact, this Mexican-American engineer has created a movable lab to introduce young people to the world of science and engineering. “We bring a model or an experiment that they can participate in… and that seems to capture their attention a lot,” she explains.
