A theoretical <condensed matter physicist> who coauthored a quantitative description of <quantum Hall edge states>. The theory combines charge screening with confinement in a <two-dimensional electron gas>, predicting alternating compressible and incompressible regions. It helps explain why edge transport depends on electrostatics as well as the bulk filling.<Electrostatics of edge channels by D. B. Chklovskii and others>[Abstract: self-consistent edge potential and strip structure]{ref}
