Katelin Schutz is a NASA Einstein Fellow[2] and Pappalardo Fellow in the MIT Department of Physics. Schutz received her PhD from UC Berkeley in 2019 under the supervision of Hitoshi Murayama.
The American Physical Society awarded her the Sakurai Dissertation Award in theoretical particle physics for the highly original contributions from her PhD work.[1]
Early Life[edit]
Schutz grew up in rural western New York in the Finger Lakes region.[1] A voracious reader, she was interested in math and space. At age 16, she wanted a telescope. She describes herself as a "foodie".[3] She attended high school at The Harley School in Rochester, New York where she was captain of the basketball team.[4]
Career[edit]
She attended MIT, where she did research with Max Tegmark, Alan Guth, David Kaiser, and Tracy Slatyer. She was awarded a Hertz Fellowship in 2014.[5] She did her PhD with Hitoshi Murayama at UC Berkeley. She also won a National Science Foundation fellowship. She completed her thesis in 2019, titled "Searching for the invisible: how dark forces shape our Universe."[1]
Schutz will join McGill University in Montreal as assistant professor in August 2021 as part of the Centre for High Energy Physics and in the McGill Space Institute.[6][7]

Awards[edit]
Schutz has received the UC Berkeley's Brantley-Tuttle Tahoe Fellowship, Hertz Foundation Fellowship, a National Science Foundation Fellowship, NASA Einstein Fellowship, and is currently a Pappalardo post-doctoral fellow in the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics. She was named a 2019 Rising Star in physics by the Stanford and MIT Departments of Physics. APS awarded her the Sakurai Dissertation Prize.[1]
