Kathleen D. Blackett

Kathy Blackett earned her B.S. in physics from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and her Ph.D. in experimental particle physics from the University of Tennessee. Her dissertation involved searches for photoproduced mesons with exotic quantum numbers. In 1996, Kathy accepted a position as a postdoctoral research associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where she continued studies in light quark spectroscopy. Following the postdoc, Kathy worked in the private sector as systems engineer and test engineer for AT&T Local Services.
