Skumryev, Vassil

ICREA Research Professor at UAB (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona). Technology & Engineering

Vassil Skumryev is ICREA Research Professor at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. He received a Ph.D. from the University of Sofia (Bulgaria) in 1983, where he was habilitated in 1991. Prior to join ICREA in 2003, he had long term appointments, including Visiting Scientist / Professor Positions at Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland); University of Delaware (USA); Max-Plank Institute für Metalforschung (Stuttgart, Germany); The Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden). He has worked in a broad range of magnetic materials and phenomenon publishing over 100 scientific papers (incl. Nature, Physical Review Letters, Physics Reports, Physical Review, Advanced Materials, Applied Physics Letters …..)


Research Interests

Magnetoelectric Materials and how the interface phenomena in nanostructures of such materials could allow an additional degree of freedom in device design (e.g. new type memory, where the magnetic state is controlled by electric field or vise versa) ; Magnetic Nanostructures with Enhanced Thermal Stability (e.g. for a possible application as high density recording media); Intrinsic Magnetic Phase Separation; Metal-Based Pharmaceutics (studying the magnetic properties can provide important information for the structure and other properties of such pharmaceutics).
