Dr. Vincent Cros

Laboratoire Albert Fert, CNRS Thales, France

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.
