Biography
[edit]Ketten received her B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis in 1971. In 1979, she completed her M.S. at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and in 1985 she earned her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. Ketten has been affiliated with Harvard Medical School since 1985. Since 1997, she has been affiliated with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. From 2013-2015, she was a Professor of Physics at Curtin University, Australia.
