Career and research

Haldane worked as a physicist at Institut Laue–Langevin in France between 1977 and 1981. In August 1981, Haldane became an assistant professor of physics at the University of Southern California,WEB,weblink Princeton Patch, Princeton University Professor Wins Nobel Prize In Physics, 4 October 2016, WEB,weblink The New York Times, October 4, 2016, 3 Who Studied Unusual States of Matter Win Nobel Prize in Physics, Dennis Overbye, Sewell Chan, where he remained until 1987. Haldane was then appointed as an associate professor of physics in 1981 and later a professor of physics in 1986. In July 1986, Haldane joined the department of physics at University of California, San Diego as a professor of physics, where he remained until February 1992. In 1990, Haldane was appointed as a professor of physics in the department of physics at Princeton University, where he remains to this day. In 1999, Haldane was named as the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics. In 2017, he was named the Sherman Fairchild University Professor of Physics. In the period 2013–2018, Haldane also held a Distinguished Visiting Research ChairWEB,weblink Perimeter Welcomes New Distinguished Visiting Research Chairs, Perimeter Institute, www.perimeterinstitute.ca, 4 October 2016, 22 May 2013, at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.Haldane is known for a wide variety of fundamental contributions to condensed matter physics including the theory of Luttinger liquids, the theory of one-dimensional spin chains, the theory of fractional quantum hall effect, exclusion statistics, entanglement spectra and much more.{{GoogleScholar|GT0JBukAAAAJ}}{{Scopus|6701402909}}{{As of|2011}} he is developing a new geometric description of the fractional quantum Hall effect that introduces the "shape" of the "composite boson", described by a "unimodular" (determinant 1) spatial metric-tensor field as the fundamental collective degree of freedom of Fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) states.{{Citation | last1 = Haldane | first1 = F.

Unlike its predecessor, it provides a description of the FQHE collective mode that agrees with the Girvin-Macdonald-Platzman "single-mode approximation".ARXIV, Haldane, F. D.
