I'll add more detail to my cs after work, but in short:

Naomi's father married very late in life to a much younger lab tech, neither of which were quite expecting the union to produce a child. David Wolfe, at this point in his mid 60's, saw his daughter as a chance to continue his work, xenobiology and the adaptation of inhospitable planets to sustainable human life, all the more necessary in his eyes after the Three Day War.

So, to further his hopes for the future, this rather unpleasant man made himself teacher to a young girl, starting her on math and science much earlier than any child normally would have, while other (in his mind, lesser) subjects were delegated to unhappy lab assistants and Naomi's mother. Soon she was not only David Wolfe's student, but also his assistant and eventually, valued colleague. Family friends say he was know to call Naomi his greatest scientific experiment.

Naomi's unconventional education and her natural inclination to the work let her advance quickly beyond her years. At the age of twenty-four when her father was contacted in the scene in my CS, she was already a doctor twice over and was working on her own line of research in the field of xenobiology. So her skills are those of a brilliant scientist and researcher, and she has all of her father's prodigious work to build off of.

Okay that wasn't really in short, but no customers came in to interrupt me.
