Laura Jane Heyderman, is a physicist, materials scientist, academic and Professor of Mesoscopic Systems at the Department of Materials, ETH Zurich and Paul Scherrer Institute. Her research is focused on magnetism and magnetic materials.[1][2]

Education and academic career

She has received her BSc degree in chemical physics in 1988, and PhD in physics in 1991 from University of Bristol.[3][4] Her career in magnetism started with her PhD project on magnetic multi-layers that she was conducting at the French National Centre for Scientific Research.[4] She then has worked on transmission electron microscopy of magnetic materials and observed magnetic domain configurations in a variety of materials as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Glasgow. After working in the industry for four years in the United Kingdom, she has become a group leader at the Paul Scherrer Institute in 1999, Professor of Mesoscopic Systems at the Department of Materials, ETH Zurich in 2013 and Head of the Laboratory for Multiscale Materials Experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute in 2017. She is an author of a chapter of several books,[5][6][7] more than 150 peer-reviewed journal articles[2] and owns three patents.[8][9][10]

She has an expertise in mesoscopic systems, magnetic nanostructures, nanoimprint and electron beam lithography, and magnetic thin films. Her research in artificial spin ices consist of nanomagnets[11] attracted a big interest to understand the dynamics in the magnetic materials. Her current research includes using nanomagnets for intelligent micro/nano robots[12][13][14][15][16]

Awards

She is a member of German Physical Society and fellow of the American Physical Society, of the IEEE, and of the UK Institute of Physics.
