Aston Martin Magazine, Issue 33 We speak to the scientist about her ground-breaking work on the dark matter phenomenon and what it’s like to be a trailblazer for women in physics
Princeton University Press Blog What is the universe made of? Acclaimed theoretical physicist Katherine Freese shares the most cutting edge research aimed at answering that question in The Cosmic Cocktail
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
by Anton Assarsson “Katherine Feese highlights Stephen Hawking’s research on black holes and his contributions to the understanding of the universe’s beginnings as crucial. ‘We physicists are still working with the questions formulated by Albert Einstein a long time ago. To solve these issues, we have relied to some great thinkers – and Stephen Hawking […]
Business Insider Freese was named one of Business Insider’s 15 most amazing women in science today. “Author of “The Cosmic Cocktail,” Katherine Freese was one of the first women undergraduate students to graduate with a physics major from Princeton University.”
Business Insider UK Freese was included in Business Insider UK’s list of 50 scientists from across the globe who are changing the world for the better.
Nature “Katherine Freese, director of Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm, says that she and her collaborators have calculated that the excess could be caused by a type of dark matter that features in a less-popular theory of supersymmetry.”
