CMP Seminar with Alexey Kimel, Radboud Universiteit

Abstract: TBA

About Alexey Kimel:

Alexey Kimel obtained his PhD from the Ioffe Institute (St. Petersburg, Russia) and joined the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) at Radboud University as a postdoctoral researcher in 2002.

He was subsequently appointed Assistant Professor in 2007, Associate Professor in 2013, and Full Professor in 2017.

He pioneered ultrafast spin dynamics in antiferromagnetic materials [PRL89, 287401 (2002), Nature 435 655–657 (2005)] and his works in a large extent defined the development of ultrafast magnetism during the last two decades.

He is a co-inventor of ultrafast all-optical magnetic recording [PRL99, 047601 (2007)] and inertia of spins in antiferromagnets [Nature-Physics5, 727–731 (2009)], as a recognized world-leader in the field he obtained several prestigious research grants (Veni2004, Vidi2006, Vici2017, ERC-SG2010, Russian MegaGrant-2013, ERC-AG2022).

Starting from September 2025, he serves as the Research Director of the Institute for Molecules and Materials.
