Hi, I'm
Katie Kudla

I'm a third-year PhD student in the Department of Physics at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB). My research focuses on the first billion years of our universe, specifically the universe's final phase transition called Cosmic Reionization. Before coming here, I completed my undergraduate degree in Physics at Providence College.

Outside the lab, I love going to the beach, dancing, climbing, and am working toward getting my open water scuba certification. I'm always happy to chat about physics, space, and fun things to do in the area — feel free to reach out.
