research overview

  • Dr. Hermele's work focuses on identifying, characterizing and classifying states of matter in quantum many body systems, both in the contexts of solid state materials and ultracold atomic gases. Hermele is particularly interested in exotic states of matter that cannot be understood in terms of spontaneously broken symmetry and/or Landau Fermi liquid theory.

keywords
