Jordan Stone (Fed)

Jordan Stone is a Physicist in the Photonics and Optomechanics Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. His research focuses on photonic microsystems—such as photonic integrated circuits and atomic vapor cells—and leverages their unique physics, including optical nonlinearity and engineered photonic bandgaps, to realize and enhance chip-scale lasers, optical atomic clocks, and other quantum technologies. This work bridges nonlinear optics, precision measurement science, and nanofabrication to advance integrated platforms for metrology and quantum science.

Prior to joining NIST, Jordan was a postdoctoral researcher with Kartik Srinivasan at the Joint Quantum Institute. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado Boulder under the supervision of Scott Papp, and he received B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics from the University of Arkansas. He is a recipient of the PML Distinguished Associate Award (associated with a Department of Commerce Gold Medal) and the Paul F. Forman Team Engineering Excellence Award.
