Tracy Slatyer, Ph.D.

Professor of Physics, MIT

Prof. Slatyer has led innovative theoretical research on scenarios where the dark matter couples to much lighter particles, and hence may experience long-range forces; her work has helped inspire a broad experimental program to search for such particles. Awards include the 2017 Henry Primakoff Award for Early-Career Particle Physics by the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society; and the 2014 Bruno Rossi Prize of the American Astronomical Society.
