Bertrand I. Halperin is the Hollis Professor of Mathematicks and Natural Philosophy at the physics department of Harvard University. A Superconductor demonstrating the Meissner Effect. ... Harvard University (incorporated as The President and Fellows of Harvard College) is a private university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ...
He grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. He attended Harvard College, and did his graduate work at Berkeley with John J Hopfield.
In the 70s, he, together with David R. Nelson, he has worked out a theory of two-dimensional melting, predicting the hexatic phase before it was experimentally observed by Pindak et al.
In the 80s, he made seminal contributions to the theory of the Integral and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect.
His recent interests lie in the area of strongly interacting low dimensional electron systems.
BertrandHalperin's research interests include many aspects of the theory of condensed matter systems and statistical physics.
Halperin is Scientific Director of the Harvard Center for Imaging and Mesoscale Systems (CIMS, www.cims.harvard.edu), which has been set up by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to encourage interdisciplinary research and education in this area.
