Biography

edit

Stubbs received an International Baccalaureate degree from Iranzamin International School in Tehran in 1975 and received a B.Sc. in physics from the University of Virginia in 1981.[2] He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Washington in 1988 working with Professor Eric Adelberger on experimental tests of gravity. His Ph.D. thesis ruled out the idea of a fifth force, a proposed long range modification of gravity.
