Katherine E. Aidala is an American physicist. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a professor of physics at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. She studies the fundamental properties of materials and devices, providing insight that could lead to technological innovation.
Aidala obtained a B.S. in Applied Physics and Psychology from Yale University in 2001.[1] At Yale, she was involved in the Rob Schoelkopf Lab, a quantum computing research lab with a focus on superconductors.[2] She then received her M.A. in Applied Physics from Harvard University, followed by her Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard in 2006.[3] At Harvard, she was involved in building the He-3 cooled scanning probe microscope at the Robert Westervelt Group, eventually writing her dissertation based on her research with the group, titled "Imaging Magnetic Focusing in a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas."[4][5]
