Jarlskog obtained her doctorate in 1970 in theoretical particle physics at the Technical University of Lund.[1][2] She is known for her work on CP violation in the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, introducing what is known as the Jarlskog invariant,[3] and for her work on grand unified theories (see Georgi–Jarlskog mass relation).[4]
