Kristín has a BSc in physics from The University of Iceland and a MSc in Theoretical physics from Stockholm University. Her PhD is from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and focused on studying strong light-matter coupling in low dimensional solid-state structures. After that she moved to St Andrews, UK to work as a postdoctoral research fellow in the groups of Jonathan Keeling and Brendon Lovett at The University of St Andrews. There her focus turned more towards organic polaritons and open quantum systems. She joined POLIMA in January 2024, and worked here for a year under the supervision of Christos Tserkezis, on polariton-mediated energy transfer and chiral polaritons.
