Grateful to be recognized by @WolfPrize for the composite fermion, and to be in the company of two incredible physicists I greatly admire. The honor truly belongs to my students, collaborators and numerous other researchers whose brilliant work transformed the composite fermion
For their groundbreaking contributions to quantum matter and its technological potential, we are proud to award Jainendra Jain, Moty Heiblum, and James Eisenstein the 2025 Wolf Prize in Physics @Caltech @penn_state @WeizmannScience

Delighted to share that our paper on discovering selective sweeps with haplotype statistics in aDNA is now out in Nat. Comm! Wonderful collaboration with @vagheesh, @devpandeyay, and @MarianaHarr.
Thrilled to share that the first project from my PhD is published in Nature Communications (@NatureComms) ! 🎉 We explored Holocene European aDNA to uncover how selective sweeps have been obscured by neutral processes like drift and admixture. Read more:
