Dmitri Feldman is a Professor of Physics at Brown University, where he joined the Department of Physics in 2003. His academic career spans theoretical condensed matter physics with a focus on exotic quantum phenomena in low-dimensional systems.
Feldman received his Ph.D. from the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics in 1998 after completing his education at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (BS 1993, MS 1995). He conducted postdoctoral research at the Weizmann Institute of Science and Argonne National Laboratory before joining Brown.
His research centers on strongly correlated electrons in confined systems, particularly the fractional quantum Hall effect where electrons form fractionally charged quasiparticles with exotic statistics. He investigates non-Abelian statistics in quantum Hall systems at filling factor 5/2, which has implications for topological quantum computing. His work on quantum wires explores spin and charge transport under non-equilibrium conditions, while his disorder research examines random porous media and liquid crystals in confined geometries.
Feldman's recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on quantum interferometry, thermal transport of anyons, and topological phases in quantum Hall systems. His work bridges theoretical predictions with experimental signatures, particularly in the measurement of fractional statistics through interferometric techniques.

Feldman has secured significant research funding including an NSF CAREER award (2006-2012) for his work on non-equilibrium transport in quantum wires, a BSF grant for probing fractional statistics with interferometers (2007-2011), and ongoing NSF support for research on statistics and dynamics in topological states. His collaborations span the Department of Physics and School of Engineering at Brown, particularly with Alexander Zaslavsky, Jingming Xu, Robert Pelcovits, and John Marston.
His research program connects theoretical predictions with experimental observables in topological quantum matter, with particular emphasis on developing measurement techniques for fractional statistics and non-Abelian properties that could enable fault-tolerant quantum computing.
