WYLIE, TX, September 05, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sarah Crate, PhD, has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Dr. Crate currently holds a senior principal systems engineer position on the Tech Staff for Raytheon, an RTX Business, as part of the Life Cycle Engineering Directorate. She joined the team after a successful tenure as a principal physics engineer from 2017 to 2019. She continues to render valuable support to many programs by developing algorithms and expertly conducting analytics to synthesize large data sets and seek cost-effective solutions to achieve similar levels of support, reliability, and maintainability even as clients develop faster, more complex operations.
Deep industry experience defines Dr. Crate's professional profile, which boasts prior positions as a senior physics engineer for Raytheon Intelligence and Space (a former Raytheon business unit), between 2008 and 2016. She then transitioned to KBRwyle after accepting a role as a senior lead field test engineer and analyst in 2016, after which Dr. Crate returned to Raytheon to play a collaborative role in program management and staffing.
Broad academic success shapes Dr. Crate's profile and includes dual degrees from Texas Christian University: a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy, which she earned after graduating cum laude in 2003, and a Bachelor of Science in physics and astronomy, which she also finished in 2003. Dr. Crate subsequently pursued a terminal degree in her field and earned a PhD in physics in 2008, also from Texas Christian University, where she gained critical experience as both a teaching assistant, from 2001 through 2008, and a research assistant in the Molecular Physics Laboratory between 2003 and 2008.
Dr. Crate is proud to have made noteworthy contributions to the scholarly conversation in her field, having published three articles in the Journal of Chemical Physics. Moreover, she authored a paper for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Systems Journal (forthcoming, 2023) and has generated four patents. Dr. Crate has also accepted various academic honors such as first place in the Undergraduate Presentation Award at Texas Christian University in 2003 and the Texas Space Grant Consortium Scholarship in 2002.
Dr. Crate is extending a family legacy in the science and engineering profession. Her father is a chemist, and two of her uncles were active in the physics and engineering fields. She has gratefully relied on their input, direction and encouragement to advance both academically and professionally, and she credits the formation of a meaningful career to hard work and the keen ability to manage challenges. The continued support of her husband and two boys encourage Dr. Crate to look enthusiastically toward the future, where she aspires to Engineering Fellow, an opportunity she would use to introduce analytics concepts across diverse programs.
