Jacqueline Hewitt is a Professor at the MIT Kavli Institute and currently serves as the Director of the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, a position she has held since January 2019. She began her career at MIT in 1986 as a postdoctoral associate in the Long Baseline Interferometry group at the MIT Haystack Observatory, after which she spent one year as a research staff member at Princeton University's Department of Astrophysical Sciences. She returned to MIT in 1989 as an Assistant Professor in Physics. Professor Hewitt's research focuses on applying techniques from radio astronomy to signal processing problems in astrophysics. She is currently involved in research related to low-frequency radio studies of the Epoch of Reionization and the Dark Ages, including surveys of transient astronomical radio emissions. As a founding collaborator of the Murchison Widefield Array project in Western Australia, she plays a critical role in advancing studies of the Epoch of Reionization. Professor Hewitt is also a lead investigator on a larger array project with similar scientific goals, the Hydrogen Epoch Reionization Array telescope project in South Africa.
