Véronique Van Elewyck

Véronique Van Elewyck is an astroparticle physicist with a background in neutrino phenomenology. After a Master Degree in Theoretical Physics, she received her doctoral degree in 2003 from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium). She was a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute of Nuclear Science of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and then at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Orsay (France) with a Marie Curie Fellowship.  She joined Université Paris Cité (former Paris Diderot) in 2007 as an Associate Professor in the Astroparticle and Cosmology Laboratory.

She has contributed to the development of detectors and methods for multi-messenger astronomy and for the study of neutrino properties, first as a member of the Pierre Auger Observatory, then with the Mediterranean neutrino telescopes ANTARES and KM3NeT. She became a Junior Fellow of Institut Universitaire de France in 2016,  leading several interdisciplinary projects to promote the potential of deep-sea neutrino detectors for Earth sciences. She has been Editor for Astrophysics for the Review of Modern Physics of the American Physical Society since 2020.
