Kristine Rosfjord is an Assistant Professor in the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics at the University of Maryland, College Park. She received her B.E. degree in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley, working with Professor David Attwood. She has served as a post doctoral fellow in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, working in the Quantum Nanostructures and Nanofabrication Group on nanowire single-photon detectors with Professor Karl K. Berggren. She was supported by a Clare Boothe Luce Fellowship during her time at MIT.

Dr. Rosfjord's research interests lie in nanowire single-photon detectors, nanofabrication techniques, and applications in x-ray and optical regimes. She is also interested in the cryogenic dependence of optical properties and measurements.

She is a member of the Optical Society of America, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society.
