Kapeel Krishana has been in love with Physics from his childhood. He went on to do Integrated Physics (Bachelors and Masters) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur. On the completion of his program at IIT, he came to Princeton University to pursue a Ph.D. in Physics. At Princeton, KK was exposed to a variety of Physics research, including those on Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) and Decay of Nuclei. He conducted research experiments on thermal conductivity of type II superconductors and published in Journals including Science and Physical Review Letters . While conducting research, KK also enjoyed assisting in instruction for several semesters. Following his Ph.D., he went on to do Post-Doctoral research in colloids primarily using microscopy and rheology at University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University. He joined the Industry after that and conducted research on polymers for a chemicals company and using rheology, particle sizing, zeta potential, imaging and gel permeation chromatography on a variety of materials including polymers, plastics and pharmaceuticals. He also went back to Princeton University to conduct research in Bio-physics using microfluidics and also served as an instructor for introductory Physics
