Dr Katharine Mulrey

Katharine Mulrey defended her PhD from the University of Delaware in 2016, the topic of  which was characterizing radio emission from extensive air showers. She then started postdoctoral work at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel with a focus on developing particle detectors for cosmic-ray detection at the LOFAR telescope. In 2019 she received a postdoctoral fellowship from the  FWO (Research Foundation - Flanders). In 2021 she joined the faculty of the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics at Radboud University, the Netherlands. She has been an Associate Professor since 2024. She is co-PI of the LOFAR Cosmic-Ray Key Science Project and co-chair of the SKA High Energy Cosmic Particle Science Working Group. In 2023 she received the Radboud Network of Women Professors Jubilee Prize for exact sciences.  In recent years Katharine has been focused on developing new technologies for detection of cosmic particles, in particular cosmic-ray detection at the SKA and radio-based neutrino detectors.
