Chris Stock obtained his bachelors and doctoral degrees from the University of Toronto in experimental condensed matter physics completing my studies in December 2004. The scattering work in his thesis was primarily done at Chalk River Laboratories (Chalk River, Canada). He then took up a two year NSERC postdoctoral position at Johns Hopkins University. From 2007-2012, he was an instrument scientist at the ISIS Facility (Didcot, UK) and the NIST Center for Neutron Research (Gaithersburg, USA). Since September 2012, he have been based at the University of Edinburgh in the School of Physics and Astronomy.
