Lindley Winslow is an experimental nuclear and particle physicist, and associate professor at MIT.

Biography

Winslow grew up in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.^[1]

Winslow completed her BA in physics in 2001 and her PhD in 2008 at University of California at Berkeley, before doing a postdoc at MIT. She was an assistant professor at University of California, Los Angeles before moving back to MIT in 2015, where she works on the search for dark matter.^{[2] [3]}

In 2016, Winslow was consulted on the equations in the Ghostbusters reboot film.^{[4] [5]}

In 2018, Winslow established a grant programme especially for women physicists.^[6]

Awards and honours

• 2016 – UCLA Hellman Fellow^[9]
• 2011 – Michelson Postdoctoral Prize Lectureship^[10]
• 2010 – L'Oreal USA Fellowship For Women in Science^[11]
