Katharine Reeves
Katharine Reeves is an astronomer who works at the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA).[1]
Education[]
- B.A., Reed College
- M.S., Northeastern University
- Ph.D., University of New Hampshire[2]
Career and research[]
At CfA, Reeves studies the energetics of solar flares and coronal mass ejections.[1] She also collaborated on Hinode's X-ray Telescope project with scientists from several other countries.[3]
Awards and honors[]
In 2016, Reeves received the Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society's Karen Harvey Prize, which recognizes significant contributions to the study of the sun early in one's career.[3]
