Katie Mack is coming to Perimeter Institute

my name is katie mack i'm a theoretical cosmologist i study dark matter and the physics of the universe from beginning to end i'll be joining the perimeter institute as the hawking chair in cosmology and science communication i'll be working with the cosmology group and the center for the universe to continue my research into cosmology into dark matter and the early universe and the end of the universe and i'll also be working with the public engagement and communications teams to share physics with the wider world in this role i'll be able to serve as a conduit between the physics research community and everyone who is excited about the universe so that's a really fun thing to be able to do and it'll also mean that i'll be participating in all three aspects of perimeter's mission research training and outreach perimeter is really one of the most exciting places i've ever been as a physicist it's an amazingly stimulating community of researchers and there's so much going on in public engagement and science communication as well i just feel like it's the place where i can really explore all of my passions i'm just amazingly excited to be taking on this new challenge in this very unique environment you know stephen hawking once said about perimeter that it's a grand experiment in theoretical physics and i am thrilled to be part of that experiment
