Fabian Majcen Wins ÖPG Student Award
Fabian Majcen, a current PhD student at NanoMag, has been recognized with an Austrian Physical Society (ÖPG) Student Award for his master’s thesis.
His thesis, titled "Experimental realization of inverse-design magnonics," was chosen by Young Minds, the ÖPG section for young scientists. Majcen is one of three winners who will present their work at the joint conference of the Austrian and Swiss Physical Societies (SPG) this August in Vienna.
As part of the selection process, Fabian created a video presenting the research behind his thesis. During this time, he was a key contributor to the development of the world's first reconfigurable, inverse-designed magnonic device.
Now a PhD student at NanoMag, Majcen continues his work on inverse-design magnonics as a pre-doctoral researcher on the project "Inverse-Design Micromagnetic-Eddy-Current Solver".
