Dr Paolo Perna is Senior Researcher and coordinator of the “SpinOrbitronics” research line at IMDEA Nanociencia, and is responsible of Laboratorio de Nanomagnetismo (Red+Lab282). Dr. Perna holds two PhD titles, in Physics and in Material Science (2008). From 2019, he is certified as Full Professor of Theoretical Physics of Matter and Associate Professor of Experimental Physics of Matter by Italian ASN (Abilitazione Scientifica Nazionale). He holds Certification I3 [I3/2021/1021, total score 10/10) by Ministerio de Universidades, Spain.
Dr. Iciar Arnay is a postdoctoral researcher at the SpinOrbitronics group from February 2020. She is focused in the growth and structural characterization of magnetic stacks with an expertise in x-ray diffraction of thin films. She performed her PhD at The European Synchrotron, having a wide experience in the use of Synchrotron radiation covering a large number techniques.
Raúl Solís is a PhD student, whose thesis is focused on the optimization of AMR sensors based on La1-xSrxMnO3 (LSMO) and is being carried out in collaboration between IMDEA Nanociencia and the Laboratoire Greyc (Caen, France). He received his Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2020) and his Master´s degree in Advanced Materials, Nanotechnology, and Photonics from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2021).
Alba Guio began her PhD in the SpinOrbitronics group in December 2023. She studied Physics and a Master in Nanoscience and advanced materials at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Her current research is focused on studying the interfacial interactions due to spin-orbit coupling in heterostructures combining ferromagnetic, heavy metal, two dimensional and ferroelectric materials with the aim of tuning magnetic interactions with electric fields.
