Ady Stern is a professor at the Condensed Matter Physics Department at the Weizmann Institute of Science and a theoretical physicist focused on the ways quantum theory manifests in electronic systems.
He is best known for his research on the theoretical aspects of the fractional quantum Hall effect[1] and the existence of quasiparticles with one-quarter the charge of an electron.
[2] In his scientific work, Stern emphasizes finding clear physical interpretations for complex phenomena, while his passion for popularizing science is reflected in his hobby of science communication.
