Education
editHirschfeld was an undergraduate and graduate student at Princeton University. He then took post-doctoral research positions at the Technical University of Munich and at Stanford University before joining the faculty at the University of Florida.
Research
editHirschfeld and his research group investigate the theory behind superconductivity, electronic correlations and disorder. A particular emphasis is the study of new problems posed by the discovery in February 2008 of high-temperature Fe-based superconducting materials.
Honors
editHirschfeld was the University of Florida Teacher/Scholar of the Year 2012-13. [4]
He was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2004, nominated by the Division of Condensed Matter Physics "For distinguished contributions to the theory of disordered unconventional superconductors which helped to identify d-wave pairing in the high-temperature superconductors."[5]
In January 2022, he was one of three co-winners of the John Bardeen Prize. [6] [7]
