Karen Astrid Hallberg (born May 10, 1964) is an Argentine scientist and professor of

L'Oreal-UNESCO Award for Women in Science Laureate.[4]

Early life and education

Hallberg was born in Rosario, Argentina.[5] When she was two years old she moved with her family to San Salvador de Jujuy, where she received public education at the Belgrano School, the Escuela Normal and the Colegio Nacional de Jujuy.[6] She was known as “señorita por qué” ('Miss why'), and started an all-girls science club.[4] As a teenager Hallberg was a competitive tennis player.[7] [8] She began her studies in electronic engineering at the National University of Rosario. Hallberg earned a scholarship of the National Atomic Energy Commission to study at the Instituto Balseiro, National University of Cuyo, where she earned a degree in physics.[6] She worked alongside Francisco de la Cruz on the emerging field of superconductivity.[6] After completing her graduate degree, she started a doctorate in physics at the Balseiro Institute[9] under the supervision of Dr. Carlos Balseiro. For her doctoral studies Hallberg worked on computational models of quantum materials that demonstrate low dimensional magnetism and superconductivity.[6][10] When Hallberg arrived at the Bariloche Atomic Centre only 8% of the students were women.[5][11]

Research and career

After her PhD, Hallberg moved to Germany to work as a

spin-orbit coupling in complex materials and electronic transport in nanoscopic systems.[19][20][21]
She has visited and collaborated with centers such as the Indian Institute of Sciences (Bangalore), Oxford University (UK), the London Center for Nanotechnology (UK), University of Augsburg (Germany), University of Fribourg (Switzerland), University of Boston and Argonne National Lab (US) and the University of Tokyo.

Advocacy and academic service

Hallberg has spoken for the need eliminate institutional barriers for women scientists, and for more support to be given to women.
