Christine Anita Kraus is a German Canadian particle physicist working in the area of neutrino physics.
Academic career
[edit]Kraus received her PhD from the University of Mainz in Germany in 2004. She subsequently worked on the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory as a postdoctoral researcher at Queen's University.[1] In 2010, she joined the Laurentian University faculty in Sudbury, Ontario as a Canada Research Chair.[2]
As of 2025, Kraus is one of the principal investigator for the SNO+ experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta decay which has implications for baryon asymmetry.[3] She is also a member of the HALO Collaboration at SNOLAB.[4]
Other roles
[edit]Kraus has served as a director for the Canadian Association of Physicists and chair of its particle physics division.[5][6] As of 2025, she is President of the Institute of Particle Physics Board of Trustees and co-chair of the Sudbury Underground Science Institute.[7][8]
Honors and awards
[edit]In 2024 Kraus was elected a fellow of the Canadian Association of Physicists.[9]
