Congratulations to Björn Heinz for his PhD!

02.12.2021

Björn successfully defended his PhD thesis “Nano-scaled yttrium iron garnet conduits for magnonic networks” at the TU Kaiserslautern.

 

Björn presentation in front of the examination committee was the final stage of a very fruitful pre-doctoral research career consisting of five papers as a first author, including one “equal contribution”, and 16 other publications where he appears as co-author.

His research, supervised by Prof. Chumak, constitutes a comprehensive study of the spin-wave dynamics in nano-sized yttrium iron garnet conduits with regard to their potential application in a magnon-based computation technology. This research was conducted in the frame of the ERC Starting Grant 678309 “MagnonCircuits”: Nano-scale magnonic circuits for novel computing systems.

We are really happy for the success of our fellow NanoMagner, whom we can now officially call Dr. Heinz!
