Martin Greiter

Martin Greiter (born 1964) is a theoretical physicist at the
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). He studied electrical engineering and
applied physics at the Technical University of Munich
and at Trinity College, Cambridge.
In 1992, Greiter obtained a Ph.D. from Harvard University, working with Frank Wilczek
at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, New Jersey. After a post-doc at IAS and two years as a
Fellow in the Theory Division at CERN, Greiter spend three years as a research associate in the group of
Robert B. Laughlin at Stanford University. Since 1999, Greiter teaches in Karlsruhe. Greiter is married and
has a daughter (born 2007).

Greiter's research focusses on fractional quantization in quantized Hall liquids and (itinerant) antiferromagnets
in low dimensions, high-temperature superconductivity, and novel states of matter which may be realized by cold atoms in
optical lattices.

His probably most widely read article is a review on superconductivity.
