Biography

Reinoud Lavrijsen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His areas of expertise include nanomagnetism and spintronics. Reinoud's current research focuses on making the switching of nanomagnets energy efficient by combining emerging physical principles within a single device. This approach opens exciting research opportunities related to the complex interplay of driving forces behind magnetization dynamics. Specifically, his group is exploring unexplored territories in spintronics, aiming to control magnetization dynamics using synthetic multiferroic heterostructures. Reinoud’s objective is to achieve full control of (nano-) magnetization dynamics using magnetic fields, which is expected to lead to novel methods for power-efficient and fast-coherent control of magnetization. This potential paves the way for creating commercial devices such as memory, data storage, and logic systems, thus establishing new paradigms based on the fundamental physics of cleverly chosen materials and devices. Reinoud holds an MSc and PhD in Applied Physics from TU/e and has a robust postdoctoral background at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, and as a research fellow at TU/e, funded by personal fellowships from NWO.
