Reshmi Mukherjee

Faculty

Professor Mukherjee's research interests are in high-energy astrophysics and astroparticle physics. She uses ground-based atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes to study galactic and extragalactic high-energy gamma-ray sources. One of her current projects is VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System), a major ground-based gamma-ray observatory, located in southern Arizona, that enables the study of extragalactic and galactic high energy gamma-ray sources. Mukherjee is also involved with the study of active galaxies, thought to be powered by supermassive black holes at their centers, and unidentified high-energy gamma-ray sources, with no known counterparts at other wavelengths. She is involved in the study of Galactic Pevatrons and Galactic TeV halo candidates and in multimessenger studies of IceCube high-energy neutrinos events. Her current research projects include VERITAS, Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) (https://www.ctao.org/), the Schwarzschild Couder Telescope (SCT) (https://cta-psct.physics.ucla.edu/) and the Gamma-Ray and AntiMatter Survey (GRAMS) experiment (https://grams.sites.northeastern.edu/).
