Maura Ann McLaughlin (born 1972)[1] West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia known for her work on fast radio bursts (FRBs).[2] [3] [4] [5]
Education
[ edit ]
McLaughlin grew up in Oreland, Pennsylvania .[6] Bachelor of Science degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1994. She obtained a PhD in Astronomy and Space Sciences from Cornell University in 2001 advised by James M. Cordes.[1] [7]
Career and research
[ edit ]
McLaughlin is known for her work on furthering the research on gravitational waves and for her dedication to the Pulsar Search Collaboratory.[8]
As of 2024[update] [9]
McLaughlin served as chair of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) collaboration.[10] National Science Foundation as part of the Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) program and is now an National Science Foundation (NSF) Physics Frontier Center.[11] [9] Green Bank, West Virginia . The Pulsar Search Collaboratory involves high school students in a collaborative effort with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) to further information and discover new pulsars.[8]
McLaughlin conducts her research on pulsars using the Green Bank Telescope , the Arecibo Observatory and previously the Jodrell Bank Observatory at the University of Manchester .[2]
Awards and honors
[ edit ]
McLaughlin was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2021 and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2024.[12] [13]
Personal life
[ edit ]
McLaughlin is married to Duncan Lorimer , a physics professor also at West Virginia University, with whom she has three children.[8]
