Biography

Gleb Finkelstein is a professor at Duke University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research primarily focuses on experimental physics with a specialization in quantum nanostructures, particularly in the realms of superconductivity and the quantum Hall effect. Finkelstein has been pivotal in various groundbreaking studies, including the observation of superconducting current-induced regimes in quantum Hall systems and the realization of quantum Hall-based superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs). His work explores fascinating phenomena, such as chiral Andreev edge states, and he has made contributions to the understanding of multi-terminal Josephson junctions, including those developed using ballistic graphene. Finkelstein's research promises exciting future applications in quantum information science, particularly in the creation of topologically protected states of excitations. He continues to study new materials, including novel two-dimensional superconductors like KTaO3, and aims to uncover interesting electronic properties that could form the foundation of future quantum devices.
