Dimitra Karabali

Dimitra Karabali is a Professor of Physics at Lehman College, City University of New York (CUNY). Her research focuses on theoretical particle physics, particularly nonperturbative phenomena in (2+1)-dimensional field theories. She holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Yale University (1986), advised by Thomas Appelquist, with a dissertation exploring fractional spin, exotic statistics, and dynamical symmetry breaking in quantum systems.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Physics, Yale University (1986)

Research Interests: Dr. Karabali investigates nonperturbative aspects of field theories, including soliton dynamics in the O(3) nonlinear sigma model with topological terms, fractional spin quantization, and chiral symmetry breaking in quantum electrodynamics. Her work also addresses dynamical mass generation and symmetry patterns in gauge theories.
