Professor Herb Fertig is interested in the theoretical physics of low dimensional condensed matter systems.
Professor Gerardo Ortiz's interests focus on understanding electronic properties of materials leading to unconventional forms of diamagnetic and magnetoelectric behavior. He is also interested in non-equilibrium phenomena as applied, for instance, to brain dynamics.
Professor Emeritus William Schaich's work is concentrated on the problems of electrodynamics near surfaces, with the goals of both fundamental understanding and contact with experiments.
