KEYNOTE SPEAKER
DR. JOSÉ HERNÁNDEZ Former NASA Astronaut
Dr. Jose Hernandez’s path to becoming a NASA engineer is one that shows true determination and resilience. Despite being born in California, he did not learn English until he was 12 years old. Although he grew up working as a migrant farmer alongside his parents, his family prioritized his education by making sure he completed his homework and studied consistently. After Hernandez finished high school, he studied electrical engineering at the University of the Pacific in Stockton. He was awarded a full scholarship to pursue his engineering studies at the graduate program at the University of California in Santa Barbara. In 2009, Hernandez fulfilled his lifelong dream and traveled to space on the STS128 shuttle mission.
