SPEAR’s ESR Blog

Eleven of our fifteen ERSs have now been recruited by SPEAR’s beneficiaries and have begun working on their research projects. (Our remaining four ESRs will join in the coming months!)

We will be able to get a glimpse of their experience as MSCA fellows through the newly launched ESR Blog, where SPEAR’s researchers will post periodically about their work at their host institution or their secondments, their training events or their new life in a new country.

We look forward to reading all about it! Head over to the ESR Blog in our website’s Communication section.

An unexpected meeting…

Perhaps my ear to ear smile itself explains the joy I am experiencing in this moment. It was just two years ago when I was finishing my bachelor’s that I came across the word Spintronics. At that time, I did not realize that soon I would become a part of big project like SPEAR and that I would be working at CIC nanoGUNE (San Sebastián, Spain), where I would get to meet the creator of the Spintronics field itself, Noble laurate Prof. Albert Fert. Prof. Fert is a frequent collaborator of Prof. Felix Casanova, my supervisor and co-leader of the Nanodevices group, and he happened to be visiting our research center last month.

Although it has just been one month since I started my journey as a doctoral researcher at CIC nanoGUNE the experience has been very rewarding. I am learning new preparation and characterization techniques for the 2D magnetic materials which is exciting and challenging at the same time.
