Fereshte Ghahari Kermani (Assoc)

Fereshte Ghahari is an associate professor of physics at George Mason University. She received her PhD degree in physics from Columbia University in 2014. Her major accomplishments were the discovery of fractional quantum hall effect and hydrodynamic thermoelectric transport in graphene which both proved the importance of interaction effects in this system. Before moving to George Mason University in 2019, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Her current research interests lie in understanding topological and strongly correlated physics in low dimensional materials by a combination of electrical transport, thermopower, and scanning probe microscopy measurements. She is the recipient of Chien-Shiung award, DOE early career and NSF CAREER awards.
