Christine Anita Kraus is a German Canadian particle physicist working in the area of neutrino physics.
Academic career
Kraus received her PhD from the University of Mainz in Germany in 2004. She subsequently worked on the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory as a postdoctoral researcher at Queen's University.[1] In 2010, she joined the Laurentian University faculty in Sudbury, Ontario as a Canada Research Chair.[2]
As of 2025, Kraus is one of the principal investigators for the SNO+ experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta decay, which has implications for baryon asymmetry.[3] She is also a member of the HALO Collaboration at SNOLAB.[4]
Other roles
Kraus has served as a director for the Canadian Association of Physicists and chair of its particle physics division.[5][6] As of 2025, she is President of the Institute of Particle Physics Board of Trustees and co-chair of the Sudbury Underground Science Institute.[7][8]
Honors and awards
In 2024, Kraus was elected a fellow of the Canadian Association of Physicists.[9]
