Katie is an observational astrophysicist whose research focuses on the extreme death of stars.

Katie has worked with a team of young astronomers on a sensational book for aspiring astrophysicists that’s just been freely published on the Archive (ArXiv) Server.

The book is called:
“Astronomy as a Field: A Guide for Aspiring Astrophysicists”
