“Controversial dark-matter claim faces ultimate test” by Davide Castelvecchi
Nature “I was unwilling to believe the DAMA results or even take them seriously at first,” says Katherine Freese, a theoretical astroparticle physicist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, who with her collaborators first proposed the seasonal modulation technique used by DAMA. But, as DAMA’s data have accumulated, and no other explanation for […]
“9 Best Female Scientists You Should Know” by Laurie-Anne Vazquez
Fiat Physica Theoretical astrophysicist Katherine Freese is no stranger to dark matter. She was one of the first astrophysicists to propose ways to find it. Freese created the template for a detection experiment used by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. She also devised an experiment tracing dark matter particles’ “wind” utilized by labs worldwide. Her research […]
“COSMO-15: Is physics soon going to exceed its boundaries – just to immediately set some new ones?”
by Leszek Roszkowsk “I think that the sciences always were and always will be experiment-driven. History has shown that new surprising results that strongly stimulate development often appear suddenly even in times, in which progress in research is seemingly slow. Boundaries of the sciences are set by our technological capabilities. We will be witnessing progress […]
Freese quoted in Expressen article
by Arne Lapidus “‘Hawking’s research is very theoretical. He has changed the way people think about the universe. His main contributions are theories about black hole physics, the universe and singularities,’ says Katherine Freese, a professor of physics in Stockholm and Michigan and Director of the Research Centre Nordita in Stockholm, which organizes the weekly […]
