Teodor Apetrei started his PhD studies at ICMAB-CSIC, participating in the MUST project, in November 2023. He earned his BSc in Computational Physics from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iasi, Romania, in 2020, and his MSc in Applied and Engineering Physics from the Technical University of Munich, Germany, in 2023. His research primarily involves the growth and engineering of magnetic oxide and nitride thin films using magnetron sputtering with tunable interfacial chiralic magnetism and perpendicular anisotropy.

Martí Ramis obtained a Bachelor degree in Chemistry at Universitat de Barcelona and  a Master degree in Advanced Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. He joined Dr. Mariona Coll team as FPI PhD student in December 2022. The topic of his research is on the development of flexible complex oxide membranes via cost-effective chemical methods and to explore the unique properties that these unconventional structures can offer for energy and electronic applications.

My name is Longyi Fan, from China. I finished my Master degree on Materials Science and Engineering at Dalian Jiaotong University. I joined the lab in October 2023 with a China Scholarship Council fellowship to start my PhD Thesis on the preparation and characterization of stacked single crystalline complex oxide membranes for next-generation electronic devices under the supervision of Dr. Mariona Coll. 

I am a DOCFAM-MSCA PhD student who joined ICMAB in June 2023 to work on Multiferroic nanocomposites for light and magnetic energy harvesting, under the supervision of Dr. Mariona Coll and Dr. Anna Palau. I obtained a Bachelor degree in Chemistry at the University of Costa Rica and a Master degree in Applied Chemistry at Chiba University, Japan. 

Yingjie Zhu pursues a PhD in Light-matter interactions, with the objective to explore spin-orbit entanglement in Jahn-Teller correlated systems.

Stefano Fedel joined ICMAB-CSIC and the MAGNEPIC project as a PhD student in September 2021. He studied Engineering Physics at Politecnico di Milano (Italy), where he obtained his BCs in 2018 and MSc in 2021. He spent one year as an exchange student at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) between 2019 and 2020. Afterward, he carried out his master thesis at ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where he focused on the characterization of spin-orbit torques at the interface between topological insulators and ferromagnet. Stefano’s project deals with the current-driven dynamics of magnetization in magnetic insulators detected by MOKE microscopy.
