Bertrand I. Halperin (born December 6, 1941) is an American physicist, former holder of the
Hollis Chair of Mathematicks and Natural Philosophy at the physics department of Harvard University.[1]
Biography
Halperin was born in
USSR. His paternal grandmother's family the Maximovs claimed descent from Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov
, the BESHT.
He attended
Bell Laboratories for 10 years (1966–1976), Murray Hill, New Jersey he was appointed professor of physics at Harvard University
.
In the 1970s, he, together with
Fractional Quantum Hall Effect. His recent interests lie in the area of strongly interacting low-dimensional electron systems.[3]
Halperin was elected a
Anthony J. Leggett were awarded the Wolf Prize in physics.[9] In 2016 he was Lise Meitner Distinguished Lecturer.[10]
In 2018, he was awarded the 2019 APS Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research,[3] for "his seminal contributions to theoretical condensed matter physics, especially his pioneering work on the role of topology in both classical and quantum systems."[11]

This year's Wolf Prize for physics will be awarded to Professor Bertrand Halperin of Harvard University and Professor Anthony Leggett of Illinois University. The jury said the prize was in recognition of the researchers' contribution to the field of condensed matter theory. Halperin, 61, is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and has been a professor at Harvard since 1976.
