Ms. Monique Brisson is a nominee for a 2020 Women of Color in STEM Professional Achievement Award.
A research electrical engineer, Brisson has led the way since the beginning of her Air Force career. She successfully secured Air Force Research Lab sponsorship of her master’s degree research and leveraged that into a full-time position as an Air Force electronics engineer at Robins Air Force Base.
“Monique’s performance accomplishments are consistent and impressive," said John L. Camp, Ph.D., chief of the Multi-Domain Systems Section of the Mission Analytics Branch at the Air Force Research Laboratory. "She is always seeking professional challenges, and has served as a tremendous role model.”
Playing a critical role in the Commander’s Challenge team, she led development of the sensor fusion component and was recognized with the Air Force Civilian Achievement Award Medal.
Brisson later moved to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as a research electrical engineer.
Eager to tackle new challenges, she focused on modeling, simulation, and virtual reality (VR), enabling a novel study incorporating human motion tracking, VR, bio-metric monitoring, and aircraft maintenance.
Beyond her contributions in her primary duties, Brisson is always looking for new training and educational challenges, recently choosing to earn a second master’s degree while completing the Air Force’s Air Command and Staff program.
