Kate Reidy
Affiliate, Materials Science and Engineering
BioKate Reidy will begin as an Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford in January 2026. Her research takes a ‘bottom up' approach to nanoscale design, tailoring material properties by understanding and manipulating their atomic structure. She combines advanced characterization with in situ microscopy to provide high spatial and temporal resolution for elucidating kinetic growth mechanisms, chemical composition, and response to stimuli at the atomic scale. She is broadly interested in novel nanomaterials to speed up our clean energy transition and the functional utilization of quantum properties of nanomaterials in our classical world.
Kate is currently a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Previously, she completed her PhD in Materials Science & Engineering at MIT as a MIT Energy initiative and William Asbjornsen Albert Memorial Fellow, entitled 'Atomic-Scale Design at the 2D/3D Interface using Electron Microscopy'. She received her B.Sc in Nanoscience, Physics, and Chemistry of Advanced Materials from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Her work has been recognized by the MIT School of Engineering, Microscopy Society of America, Materials Research Society Gold Award, 'Best Doctoral Thesis' Award at MIT DMSE, and the Lemelson-Vest Award for Innovation. She has acted as representative on the Departmental Committee of Graduate Studies at MIT, a member of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) working group, and on the board of MIT Women in Materials Science.
