Spin-orbit coupled fermions may host spin higher than 1/2 due to mixture of intrinsic 

1/2 spin and orbital angular momentum.  In this talk, I will explore topological 
phases of such high spin fermions, and explain the basic properties of high spin 
topological materials.  I also discuss relevant systems in condensed matter physics.
