Stefan Popa

Stefan Popa is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Durham University and is now studying for a PhD at Imperial College London. His research at the Centre for Cold Matter uses laser-cooled molecules to test fundamental symmetries. His experiment measures the shape of the electron inside ultracold molecules. This is predicted to be near-spherical by the Standard Model of particle physics, so measuring it is a test of physics beyond the standard model.

He enjoys combining his studies with the outdoors and can often be found climbing or hiking.
