Professor Dr. Christopher Stubbs

Biography

Christopher W. Stubbs is a Samuel C. Moncher Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Harvard University. He is an experimental physicist whose work focuses on interface particle physics and cosmology. His research interests include experimental tests of the foundations of gravitational physics, searches for dark matter, characterizing dark energy, and observational cosmology. Stubbs is a member of the teams that discovered dark energy through the use of supernovae to map the history of cosmic expansion. He is currently heavily involved in the construction of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), serving as the inaugural project scientist. Additionally, he founded the APOLLO collaboration, which utilizes lunar laser ranging to probe novel gravitational effects within the Earth-Moon-Sun system, resulting in new insights into the physics standard model.
