Lecturers
Prof. Dr. Caroline Ross
Caroline A. Ross is Ford Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research spans magnetic, ferroelectric, and multiferroic materials, primarily oxide thin films, for device applications; magneto optical films for integrated photonics; and oxide nanocomposites and self-assembly of block copolymers for nanoscale lithography and fabrication.

Dr. Vincent Cros
Deputy Director of the Albert Fert Laboratory, Vincent Cros has devoted his research career to advancing an emerging field of physics: spintronics, or spin electronics. In particular, he has worked on the physics of charge-spin conversion effects and spin transfer, as well as on skyrmions, subjects of fundamental physics with many potential applications. Today, he also spends part of his time co-directing the Priority Program and Equipment for Exploratory Research (PEPR) SPIN, which supports spintronics research aimed at developing efficient, agile and sustainable digital technologies.

Prof. Dr. Markus Garst
Markus Garst is a theoretical physicist at the Karlsruhe Institute of technology, heading the Working Group “Theory of Competing States of Matter” within the Institute for Quantum Materials and Technologies. His research focuses on collective phenomena in quantum materials, especially how spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom interact, giving rise to non‐trivial metallic, magnetic, and topological phases.

Dr. Silvia Tacchi
Silvia Tacchi is Senior Researcher at the Instituto Officina dei Materiali of the italian National Research Council. Her work is mainly dedicated to the study of magnetization dynamics in low dimensional systems such as thin films, multilayers, lateral confined systems, magnonic crystals, and magnetic spin textures by using both conventional and micro-focused Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy.
