Hi all! My name is Katherine Pommerening, but you can call me KP. I grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, and loved going to all the museums when I was younger. My favorite is the Air and Space Museum because ever since I was young, I have been fascinated by space and physics. I relocated from D.C. to Hanover, New Hampshire to go to Dartmouth College, where I study physics and computer science. I have always dreamed of standing underneath a sky full of stars that I can see and doing research with a huge telescope. That dream is coming true now as I travel to Cape Town, study physics, conduct research at a large telescope, and familiarize myself with a new community! I hope you'll join me on this adventure.
