Doris Cohen

Doris Cohen was a twentieth-century American mathematician and aerodynamicist. She worked at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, a precursor to NASA). In 1941, a research report she published made her NACA's first female author.[1]

She was married to, and worked with, aerodynamicist R. T. Jones. With him, she co-founded Vega Instrument Co., a telescope manufacturing company, in 1957.[2]
