Katherine Harkay

Harkey completed her bachelor's degree in physics at St. John's University in 1982, then her master's degree at Purdue University in 1984.^[1]

Harkay obtained her PhD in physics at Purdue University in 1993, supervised by Lazslo Gutay.^[2]

She now works at the Argonne National Laboratory on the Advanced Photon Source.^[3][4]

• 2009 – Outstanding Alumni Award from Purdue University^[2]
• 2013 – Fellow of the American Physical Society for "significant contributions to the understanding of the physics of electron cloud effects and the experimental investigation and understanding of collective effects, as well as for playing leading roles in development of photocathodes and superconducting undulator technology."^[5]
