In 1948, Dr. Reeves became a researcher at NCSU, becoming an integral figure in the Physics department and furthering much of the university’s knowledge of foreign substances. She led the university’s push to observe negative energy. In 1957, she received her PhD in Physics from NCSU. Dr. Reeves continued her work at NCSU until her death.
