Professor Stuart Field has been interested in technology and science his whole life. While in school he built electronic circuits, telescopes, and computers. After attending Stanford University, he got a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, where he studied the properties of materials at ultralow temperatures. After completing a postdoctoral position at MIT, Stuart held a faculty position at the University of Michigan. Currently, at Colorado State University, Dr. Field teaches a variety of physics courses, including algebra-based introductory physics, and was an early and enthusiastic adopter of Knight’s Physics for Scientists and Engineers. He maintains an active research program in the area of superconductivity.
