Background

Caitlin received her PhD in Geophysics from Caltech in 2012 where she used high-pressure experiments to improve the current understanding of Earth’s metallic core, and ran multiple geophysical field excursions to image seismic faults in Southern California. Since 2012, she has been a Carnegie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Geophysical Laboratory where she was exploring Earth and energy materials under high-pressure conditions at DOE-funded synchrotron and neutron facilities.
