Mingran Xu is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). He completed both his Master's and Ph.D. studies at the University of Tokyo, Japan.. During his Ph.D. studies, he received the JSPS-DC1 Research Fellowship for Young Scientists. From September 2016 to September 2021, he served as a student trainee at RIKEN, a national scientific research institute in Japan. After completing his Ph.D., Mingran began joined the EPFL in Switzerland. In recognition of his scientific contributions, Mingran was awarded the ISSP Young Scientist Medal in 2021 by the Institute of Solid State Physics at the University of Tokyo.

At the University of Tokyo and RIKEN, Mingran focused on the electrical detection of spin current via the inverse Edelstein effect and the nonreciprocal interaction between surface acoustic waves and magnetic thin films. At the EPFL, he started to study the spin dynamics in three-dimensional artificial magnonic structures composed of magnetic tubular elements. He also contributes to research on nonlinear spin dynamics, including magnetic texture switching and high frequency resolution electrical characterization of nonlinear dynamics.

In the upcoming talk, Mingran will present a Brillouin light scattering study of nonreciprocal spin dynamics in artificial chiral magnets.
