Girsh Blumberg

Who is Girsh Blumberg?

Girsh Blumberg is an Estonian-American experimental physicist working in the field of experimental condensed matter physics, spectroscopy, nano-optics, and plasmonics. Blumberg is also a fellow at the American Physical Society and Professor of Physics at Rutgers University.

Girsh Blumberg is best known for his contribution to electronic Raman scattering studies in strongly correlated electron systems, superconductors and quantum spin systems. He has co-authored over 90 publications and is inventor on over 30 patents in the fields of electronic and optical devices, spectroscopy and nano-plasmonics. In 2006 Blumberg was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society "for his seminal contributions to elucidating the physics of spin, charge and superconducting correlations in 1D and 2D complex oxide compounds using Raman scattering techniques". Blumberg was a recipient of Golda Meir fellowship at Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1992.
