Duncan is famous for a number of contributions to condensed matter physics; theory of Luttinger liquids, theory of fractional quantum hall effect, theory of one-dimensional spin chains, entanglement spectra and exclusion statistics are some of his renowned researches.
Duncan Haldane is a professor of physics at Princeton University, USA, and a Distinguished Visiting Research Chair at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada.
In October 2016, Duncan Haldane, David J. Thouless and Michael Kosterlitz were together awarded with the Nobel Prize in physics for their research in theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter. Duncan receives one-fourth of the total prize money of $9,30,000.
