About

Kate Scholberg is a leading figure in neutrino astrophysics, renowned for her pioneering work on supernova neutrinos and multimessenger astronomy. Her research focuses on detecting and interpreting neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae, using detectors like Super-Kamiokande and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) to probe stellar death and neutrino properties. A major contribution is her leadership in developing the SuperNova Early Warning System (SNEWS), a global network that provides real-time alerts of galactic supernovae via neutrino bursts, enabling rapid follow-up across the electromagnetic spectrum. Her influential paper on astronomical network event notification (2006) laid groundwork for modern multimessenger coordination, cited over 700 times. Scholberg’s impact extends to shaping the science case for next-generation detectors, with her work on supernova neutrino detection strategies accumulating thousands of citations. She has received prestigious awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, and serves as a key voice in the neutrino community, inspiring students and researchers to explore the universe’s most extreme events through the elusive neutrino messenger.
