Biography
Professor Goldman received his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 1985. Prof.
Goldman joined Stony Brook in 1988, after doing research at Princeton University.
Research Statement
His area of expertise is in condensed matter physics, in particular, he is interested
in the physics of low-dimensional systems of electrons, where electrons are bound
to a plane, a line, or a quantum dot. The fundamental properties of these systems
are studied at very low temperatures, and often in high magnetic fields, where bizarre
new behavior of highly correlated electrons is revealed. These are so-called "emergent
phenomena", where an unpredictable quantum phase transition may occur to a "new state
of matter". The interaction between electrons, rather than properties of an individual
particle, is the origin of all such observations. The associated theory is challenging,
and is at the forefront of today's efforts to understand complex many-particle systems.
Examples are fractional quantum Hall effect, with its fractionally charged quasiparticles
(anyons), electron Wigner crystal, and correlated collective electron states in quantum
dots and quantum antidots.
