Amber S. Gell is an American program manager, former engineer and scientist, and

Wilderness First Responder (WFR), Master Scuba Diver. Amber was also a member of the Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University Mathematics Industry Advisory Board[3]

Education

She received Bachelor of Science degrees in both aerospace engineering and aerospace studies from Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. She subsequently earned a Master of Science degree in physiology and human performance from the University of Houston–Clear Lake.[4] She has a Master of Engineering degree in systems engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology, and also a Master of Science degree in finance and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree, both from the University of Houston–Clear Lake.

Research

Her research includes Optimal Crew Selection for Long-Duration Spaceflight focusing on gender, culture, and personality characteristics, in which she contributed an academic paper and presented her work at the Human Performance in Extreme Environments (HPEE) Conference along with the senior member of the 6 other authors of the paper,[5] Spacecraft Propulsion Technologies,[6] and Exothermic Welding in a Reduced Gravity Environment.[7][8][9] Amber is a published author that has contributed to advancements in the Physiology field.[10]

Engineering outreach

Gell has given presentations on her work to inspire others to pursue degrees in STEM. Presentations include the 51st AIAA/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference,

Cosmonaut Anatoly Artsebarsky,[17] and many more. Amber was also a judge for the FIRST Robotics Competition at the Wisconsin Regional and FIRST Championship events in 2016. Amber has served as a judge for the FIRST Robotics Competition at the Wisconsin Regional annually since 2008 and the FIRST Championship events annually since 2011.[18][19]
