We are

The group Spectroscopy of Surfaces and Interfaces (Rasing), in close collaboration with the group Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Correlated Materials (Kimel), conducts both experimental and theoretical research aimed at understanding ultrafast processes in magnetic materials.

Your research will be embedded in interdisciplinary research on energy-efficient computing funded by the Dutch government through a KIC and NWA programme (NL-ECO).

In addition, the research benefits from existing international collaborations (EU-NIMFEIA project on magnonic reservoir computing, EU-COMRAD project on ultrafast spintronics, EU-3DMAGiC project on nanoscale topological spin textures).

The main supervisors for this PhD position are Dr Johan Mentink and Prof. Theo Rasing, in close collaboration with Dr Dima Afanasiev and Prof. Alexey Kimel.
