About

Katrina Webb is a highly educated and experienced physicist with a passion for teaching and research. She received her BS in Physics from Texas Tech University in 2022, followed by continuing in the physics PhD program at the same university in 2022. During her time at Texas Tech, she worked as a teaching assistant and student assistant, gaining valuable experience in the classroom and laboratory settings. She also conducted research in various areas, including quantum pedagogy and astronomy, and participated in the High Scholars Research Program at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Katrina's passion for physics and education led her to further her studies and research at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, where she worked as a Reu Student. She also gained experience as an astronomical observer at CTMO and continued her research at Texas Tech University. With a strong background in both theoretical and experimental physics, Katrina is a well-rounded and knowledgeable physicist. She is dedicated to sharing her knowledge and skills with others, and her experience in teaching and research has prepared her to effectively communicate complex concepts and ideas. Katrina is committed to making a positive impact on the field of physics and inspiring the next generation of scientists.
