About

 

Dr.  Bernadette K. Cogswell is a theoretical particle physicist specializing in neutrinos, phenomenology, and nuclear non-proliferation. She received her Ph.D. in physics from Vanderbilt University and has a B.S. in Psychology and an M.A. in English.

After her Ph.D., she completed a two-year post-doc at Princeton University with the Program for Science and Global Security, then received a Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw Fellowship to the University of Manchester UK where she continued her work in neutrino phenomenology. Upon returning to the US, Bernadette worked for four years as a Research Scientist with the Center for Neutrino Physics at Virginia Tech on nuclear non-proliferation and novel neutrino detector opportunities.

Her work has been successfully bridging policy and science.

At present, she is a full-time physics instructor with a special apprenticeship program at Pearl Harbor Naval base in Honolulu, Hawaii and the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa.
