About

Katherine Whitaker is an Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA. Her research focuses on high-redshift galaxy formation and evolution, with recent articles addressing topics such as dust emission deficits in luminous galaxies and significant findings from the JWST/NIRCam photometry. She is actively involved in studies of quiescent galaxies and gas outflows, contributing to the understanding of star formation history and cosmic structure development.
