Abstract: 
The low-energy states of two-dimensional hole gases formed in transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayer moiré superlattices are accurately described by two-dimensional triangular-lattice Hubbard models.  I will discuss progress that has been made in exploring the properties of these systems both theoretically and experimentally.
