Birgit Wehefritz-Kaufmann works in theoretical physics, studying topics such as topological materials (materials with special electronic properties protected by their geometric structure), quantum many-body systems (systems with many interacting particles), and mathematical structures used in quantum physics. Recent work has examined phase transitions in simplified quantum models (including Majorana physics, related to exotic particle-like excitations) and statistical properties of surfaces and disordered systems, such as crystal shapes and directed polymers.

Publication output has been low and irregular over the last decade, generally one to two papers per year with some gap years, without a clear growth trend.
