Caroline El Khoury

Caroline is an astronomer who graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in Physics and Astronomy. Her research focused on studying fast rotating neutron stars called Pulsars and their behaviour in the galaxy. In 2019, she received a research grant to work as an intern at ASTRON in the Netherlands where she got to expand on my research on pulsars—and from there she was inspired not only to continue doing research, but to begin a journey that involves a lot of outreach! Caroline is also passionate about outdoor adventures and hiking and has been working in the outdoor community to bring people closer to the night sky. She took her love of astronomy and hiking and started a social media page (@caroline_elkhoury) where she showcases all her astronomical adventures around Ontario and offers stargazing tours and group hiking series.
