Dissertation Title: 
Measuring the geometry and topology of non-Hermitian systems
Dissertation Abstract: 

In this thesis, we study qualitatively new non-Hermitian phenomena that occur when the parameters of coupled harmonic oscillators are tuned (like mass, spring constant, and damping), while monitoring their motion. We consider both forms of tuning: static and real time. These phenomena are demonstrated experimentally using the membrane-in the-middle (MIM) optomechanical system.
