Prof. Mary K. Gaillard: Singularly Unfeminine Profession

Last Thursday, 14th of March, professor Mary K. Gaillard, from Berkeley University, California, visited our faculty to give a conference entitled "Singularly Unfeminine Profession", the title of her first published book. We had the chance to speak to her and ask her a few questions. Prof. Mary K. is an American theoretical physicist specialized in Particle Physics. She is a professor of Graduate School at the University of California, Berkeley. She was Berkeley's first tenured female physicist. Some of her most important contributions are the prediction of the mass of the charm quark prior to its discovery, the prediction of 3-jet events or the prediction of b-quark mass. But let's learn more about her. Prof. Mary K. Gaillard visited CERN to present her recently published autobiography and to give the seminar "Supergravity at one loop, anomalies and applications to string phenomenology".
