I have a diverse scientific background, from applying electronic spins of molecules for quantum sensing and computing to studying the propagation of sound waves in violins and vibrational modes of large space structures. I’m an experimental physicist, applying spectroscopy techniques that use X-rays, neutrons, microwaves, or lasers to describe natural phenomena at the atomic scale. As a materials scientist and engineer, I've also explored building bridges from the micro to the macro scale, from atomic excitations to bulk thermophysical properties.

Education

PhD in Materials Science - Caltech, 2023.

MS in Space Engineering - Caltech, 2017.

MS in Mechanical Engineering - ETH Zurich, 2016.

BS in Mechanical Engineering - ETH Zurich, 2014.

I am also a ceramicist based in Los Angeles. I love creating things out of clay, from functional pieces to abstract sculptures. Lately, I've been exploring ceramics as a medium to visualize scientific concepts.

Hey there, Stefan here!

I’m a scientist and a creative. I love exploring how nature works and how we relate to it.
