Menzel attended the University of Wisconsin where she majored in mathematics and education.
She spent several years in Bulgaria before returning to the United States to attend high school and college. She is famous in the computational physics community for having helped in the coding of the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem at the Los Alamos National Laboratory while working as a programmer in the MANIAC group. The result was an important stepping stone for chaos theory.
Recent calls have been made to rename the phenomenon the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem, to honour her contribution.
