Katharine Reeves
Katharine Reeves is an
space missions to observe the Sun: Hinode (Project Scientist for the XRT instrument); IRIS (Institutional PI for SAO); SDO; Parker Solar Probe; and suborbital sounding rockets including the MaGIXS[3] and Hi-C FLARE[4]
high-resolution spectral imaging packages.
Reeves has advised multiple graduate students and post-doctoral scholars in the field of solar physics, including Samaiyah Farid, Xie Xiaoyan, Nishu Karna, and Soumya Roy.
