Education
Kathryn is involved in the drafting, filing and prosecution of UK, European and international patent application in various fields. Kathryn completed a PhD in Glaciology at the University of Southampton where her research involved the development of autonomous, wireless, multi-sensor probes for deployment in the first environmental sensor network on a glacier. In the course of her PhD, she gained practical experience of scanning electron microscopy techniques, microscopy devices, as well as the use of other mechanical and technical instrumentation in laboratories and a field work setting. In subsequent post-doctoral positions at British Antarctic Survey and the University of Bristol, she used geophysical techniques (principally ice-penetrating radar) to image the properties and dynamics of ice sheets.
Her research has led to multiple publications in journals such as Science and IEEE.
