Giovonnae Dennis

Giovonnae Anderson Dennis is an American electrical engineer. She studied physics and electrical engineering at the University of California, Davis, earning her bachelor's degree in the former and her master's in the latter. In 1979 she became one of the first African-American women to earn a Ph. D. in electrical engineering, and one of the few at a primarily white institution rather than a historically black institution (HBCU). Dennis has worked at Hewlett-Packard and researched radio signal analysis; she is also an advocate for women and people of color in science and engineering.[1][2][3]
