Biography

Christopher Stubbs is an experimental physicist specializing in the interface between particle physics and cosmology. His research interests include experimental tests of the foundations of gravitational physics, searches for dark matter, and observational cosmology. Stubbs is a member of the teams that discovered dark energy by using supernovae to map the history of cosmic expansion. Currently, he is heavily engaged in the construction of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) as its inaugural project scientist. Stubbs also founded the APOLLO collaboration, which utilizes lunar laser ranging to probe novel gravitational effects arising from standard model physics in the Earth-Moon-Sun system.
