Biography
Assa’s research generally focuses on condensed matter theory with emphasis on strongly correlated electrons and superconductivity. In 2020, Assa Auerbach published the scientific graphic novel Max the Demon vs Entropy of Doom, which explains physical concepts to children and young adults.
During his senior fellowship at the Collegium, Assa collaborated with scientists from various disciplines to develop effective methods of communicating scientific content to the general public.
