Alexy Karenowska

Dr Alexy Karenowska is a magnetician with a research group based in Oxford’s Department of Physics. She completed her undergraduate degree in Engineering Science in 2007. She then went on to read for a D.Phil in Physics and was elected to a Fellowship by Examination at Magdalen in 2011, and a Fellowship by Special Election in 2014.

Alongside her work in magnetics, Alexy is also the Director of Technology at The Institute for Digital Archaeology (www.digitalarchaeology.org.uk), an organization dedicated to finding innovative technology-driven options for the documentation and preservation of heritage material. Alexy’s work is particularly focused on the application of 3D printing and machining technologies to the restoration or replication of damaged or destroyed archaeological structures and artefacts.

Alexy is Magdalen’s Widening Participation Fellow and has a special interest in helping potential applicants and their teachers learn more about the College. In connection with her work in physics, engineering, and archaeology, she runs an educational programme which works to bring to life the important relationships between the sciences, the arts, and the humanities.
