Biography
Katharine completed her undergraduate studies in particle physics at Lancaster University. Her master's project was based on the long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment DUNE, in which she looked at DUNE’s sensitivity to solving the mass hierarchy problem and measuring CP violation. Her PhD research focuses on the SNO+ experiment, which is looking for neutrinoless double-beta decay.
Thesis title
SNO+ experimenting for neutrinoless double-beta decay
