Christian Klevdal

I received my PhD in 2021 from the University of Utah under the supervision of Stefan Patrikis. Since then, I have been a postdoc at UNIST (2021-2022), at UCSD (2022-2025) and at Johns Hopkins (2025-2026). In Fall 2026, I am a lecturer at University of San Diego and am on the academic job market.
