Kristjan Stone
Postdoctoral Fellow

Kristjan got his bachelors degree in physics from UCLA then earned a Masters and PhD in physics from Rice University in Houston, Texas, studying the fundamental interactions of ultra-high mobility semiconductors and microwaves at temperatures just above absolute zero. Currently he is a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and works at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory studying cutting edge superconducting detectors for satellite missions to explore never before seen galaxies.
