Alexander Atanassov

Alexander Atanassov is a quirky tinkerer hailing from Brooklyn, NY. Whether it’s obsessing over circuit combinations or reading up on 19th century solar flares, Alexander is always playing around with science and technology. Spending time at a top physics laboratory specializing in rare isotopes not only opened Alexander’s eyes to the poetic harmony of physics but also to the myriad of groundbreaking physicists outside of the general public’s awareness. Admiring the evolving tale that is our understanding of the world, Alexander also loves storytelling, and strives to share the story of science with anyone willing to listen.
