Expertise

Professor Fertig is interested in the theoretical physics of many-particle systems, particularly in low dimensions. Such systems -- particularly their realizations in electronic materials -- support an amazingly broad variety of phenomena and states: the quantum Hall effect, metal-insulator transitions, electron crystals, highly correlated metals, superconductivity, and quantum magnetism.

Research interests: Condensed matter physics (theoretical)
