Quanta Magazine “‘In my entire career I’ve always been aware of being a woman in physics,’ the theoretical astrophysicist Katherine Freese told Quanta in 2014. When she moved to Sweden that year to head up the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, she was drawn to the cultural acceptance of women in science there. ‘On the […]
Global Citizen “Freese is a trailblazing modern scientist who studies dark matter, including studying “dark stars” in the universe, something that has never been observed directly by a human. She’s the Director of Nordita, an institute for theoretical physics in Stockholm.”
NBC News My work seeks to understand what the universe is made of. Ordinary atomic material makes up only five percent of the universe. Most of the mass in the universe is made of dark matter, and we want to know what it is. Right now, only one experiment has detected a hint of dark […]

Beyond the Boundary Science Freese is a theoretical astrophysicist. Freese is also a professor of physics at the University of Michigan and Director of Nordita, which is the Nordita – Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm Sweden. Freese’ main focus of research is on dark energy and dark matter. Freese has also proposed a […]
