This chal lenges the sustainability of current information technologies. Alternative computational schemes with lower energy per operation needs are urgently required. They stimulate research on nanomaterials contenders to go beyond conventional electronics. In our group we focus on novel functionalities offered by spin waves (magnons) in magnetically ordered nanomaterials cons isting of ferro-\, ferri- and antiferromagnets. For example\, we have disc overed the reversal of bistable nanomagnets by coherent magnons\, which is a major step towards wave-based in-memory computing. In addition\, we hav e demonstrated the atomic layer deposition of low-damping ferromagnetic me tals. This has enabled us to create three-dimensional (3D) ferromagnetic n anostructures which exhibit novel magnonic properties such as geometry-con trolled nonreciprocity. This observation is key for the realization of mag non diodes with uni-directional magnon flow in 3D device architectures. Ou r results put in evidence the scalability of functional magnetic nanostruc tures in both 3D magnonics and spintronics applications.\n\nBio: Dirk Grun dler is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Materials (IMX) and co- affiliated with the Institute of Electrical and Micro Engineering (IEM). H e started his Laboratory of Nanoscale Magnetic Materials and Magnonics (LM GN) at EPFL in 2015. Before that he was at the Physics Department of the T echnical University of Munich in Germany which he had joined as a tenured professor (Chairholder) in Experimental Physics in 2005. He received his v enia legendi (Habilitation) in Experimental Physics at the University of H amburg in Germany in 2001 where he had received his PhD in 1995 for a thes is work performed at the Philips Research Laboratories\, Hamburg\, Germany \, from 1991 to 1994. His research interests and accomplishments have rang ed from magnetic field sensors based on multilayered high-temperature supe rconductors\, the extraordinary magnetoresistance effect in semiconductor/ metal hybrid structures and correlation phenomena in low-dimensional elect ron systems via spintronics\, nanomagnonics and skyrmionics to the materia ls science of three-dimensional ferromagnet/superconductor hybrid structur es (3D super-spintronics) in which curved surfaces induce novel properties and functionalities. His team combines experimental techniques with numer ical modelling. In 2009\, he was the co-organiser of the first internation al conference "Magnonics: From Fundamentals to Applications" which transfo rmed into an ongoing series of biennial conferences. He was a principal in vestigator in different Priority Programmes and Cooperative Research Centr es funded by the German Research Foundation as well as the Nanosystems Ini tiative Munich (NIM I and II) in the Excellence Initiative of the German f ederal and state governments. In the Transregional Collaborative Research Center TRR80 in Germany he co-founded an integrated graduate school in 201 0. At EPFL\, he was the director of the doctoral program in Materials Scie nce and Engineering (EDMX) from 2018 to 2024.\n  LOCATION:BM 5202 https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BM%205202 https://epfl.zoom.u s/j/69230381712 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
