Katrin Kneipp is a German physicist.

Kneipp was born in Thuringen and studied physics at Friedrich Schiller University and Humboldt University Berlin. She was an assistant professor at Harvard University Medical School^[1][2] and has been a visiting professor at MIT.

She has written about her memories of Millie Dresselhaus.^[3]

She works on single-molecule Raman spectroscopy spectra and Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), as well as bio-medically relevant molecules.^[3][4]
