Career
[edit]Around 1960, Roth was working at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and along with Mildred Dresselhaus, she was one of only two women among approximately 1000 men.[1] Around this time she was also encouraged and mentored by Benjamin Lax.[2] She has also co-authored papers with Kenneth Button.[3]
Roth became an American Physical Society Fellow in 1967, while at Tufts University.[4]
She is currently Emerita Professor at Department of Physics, University at Albany.[5]
