Kenzie Nimmo

Originally from Scotland, Kenzie completed her undergraduate and master’s at the University of Glasgow before earning her PhD from the University of Amsterdam and ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, in 2022. She then joined the MIT Kavli institute as a Kavli Fellow. Her research is centered on understanding the origins of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) using high temporal and spatial data analysis techniques. Kenzie is a member of the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) FRB Collaboration. She has helped build CHIME Outriggers, a project to turn the world-leading FRB finding telescope, CHIME, into a very long baseline interferometric array capable of pinpointing FRBs to their local environments.
