Edgars Stegenburgs joined the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE) Division of KAUST as an MS/Ph.D. student and graduate researcher at Photonics Laboratory in January 2015.

Previously he was working in the Laser Centre of the University of Latvia as a natural sciences laboratory assistant under the supervision of Dr. Aigars Ekers in the Laser-manipulation laboratory. There he developed his bachelor thesis "Formation of bright and dark states in non-degenerate quantum systems and ultra-high vacuum system design for Rb atoms magneto-optical trap" and earned the Bachelor's Degree of Science in Physics from the University of Latvia in June 2014.
