Gleb Finkelstein is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, specializing in experimental physics, particularly in the area of quantum nanostructures. His research interests include Josephson junctions, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and topological materials. Finkelstein’s work has importantly revealed a variety of interesting electronic properties that form the basis for future quantum devices. He is particularly focused on the study of the coexistence of superconductivity and the quantum Hall effect. His noteworthy contributions include the observation of superconducting current induced in the quantum Hall effect regime, the realization of a quantum Hall-based superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), and the observation of chiral Andreev edge states, which were predicted two decades earlier. His lab also explores multi-terminal Josephson junctions developed from ballistic graphene, thermal conductivity measurements, and the properties of the novel two-dimensional superconductor KTaO3.
