Glennys Reynolds Farrar (born 1946) is a professor of physics at New York University who specializes in particle physics, cosmology and the study of dark matter.[1][2]
Education
Farrar obtained a bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley in 1968, going on to earn her PhD from Princeton in 1971, becoming the first woman to receive a physics PhD from Princeton.[3][4][5]
Career
After graduating from Princeton, Farrar was a faculty member at Caltech and at Rutgers University, then joined NYU in 1998.[4] At NYU, she chaired the physics department and founded the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics.[5]
She has been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study,[6] and in 1975 she was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship.[7] She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1984, and in 2014, she was selected as a Simons Fellow in Theoretical Physics.[8][9]
