Tetyana Pitik receives award for the best PhD thesis in Danish astronomy
Tetyana Pitik has been a PhD student at the Niels Bohr Institute until last November, working under the supervision of Prof. Irene Tamborra. Tetyana receives the 2024 IDA PhD award at the Annual Danish Astronomy Meeting hosted in Roskilde on May 22 and 23, 2024.
Every year the Instrument Centre for Danish Astrophysics (IDA) awards a prize for the most scientifically outstanding PhD thesis defended at a Danish university within the field of astronomy and astrophysics.
For her work on the modeling of the multi-messenger emission from astrophysical transients, Tetyana Pitik receives the 2024 IDA PhD award at the Annual Danish Astronomy Meeting hosted in Roskilde on May 22 and 23, 2024.
Tetyana has been a PhD student at the Niels Bohr Institute until last November, working under the supervision of Prof. Irene Tamborra.
Through her PhD work, Tetyana has pioneered the exploration of the non-trivial connection between the neutrino and electromagnetic signals from gamma-rays bursts and superluminous supernovae, highlighting shortcomings in ongoing multi-messenger searches as well as proposing new strategies to address them.
Tetyana is now a postdoctoral fellow at University of California, Berkeley and Penn State University, supported by a prestigious fellowship funded by the National Science Foundation.
