Education and career

Patterson has a B.A. from Cornell University (1981) and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (1990). Following her Ph.D., she returned to Cornell where was promoted to professor in 2005.[1] Patterson is the director of the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) and the Center for Bright Beams (CBB),[2] a science and technology center funded by the National Science Foundation.[3]

Research

Patterson's research centers on the use of the Large Hadron Collider to search for particles with long lifetimes.[1]
