Reshmi Mukherjee

Reshmi Mukherjee is a professor of physics at Barnard College, Columbia University, specializing in high-energy astrophysics: the study of Galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray sources using ground-based atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes and satellite experiments such as NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Since her first Alliance visiting professorship in 2014, she has collaborated with Deirdre Horan's high-energy astrophysics group at the Laboratoire Leprince-Ringuet (École polytechnique), producing joint publications, PhD projects and a doctoral mobility exchange; her 2024 visit built on this collaboration.
