Dr. Laura González Vivas
Marie Curie Postdoctoral (Researcher)
Dr. Laura González Vivas received her PhD in Physics from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) in 2012. During his pre-doctoral studies at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC, Spain), her research activity was focused on the field of Nanomagnetism, especially on the fabrication and characterization of well-ordered electrodeposited ferromagnetic nanowire arrays into porous anodic alumina templates. Additionally, she performed micromagnetic computer simulations to further understand the experimental observations.
Upon completion of her PhD, she moved to the Physics Department of Los Andes University (Colombia) to work as both a lecturer of General Physics and a postdoctoral researcher to study magneto transport and magneto-optic properties of ferromagnetic/superconducting thin films heterostructures. She continued to hone her experimental skills as postdoc researcher at the University of Zaragoza, Spain, where she focused her research on the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of granular Co-Pd alloy thin film multilayers systematically studied by means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy techniques: XANES, EXAFS and XMCD.
Notably, in 2015 she moved to the Physics Department of the University of Luxembourg. She was funded by a FNR Luxembourg National Research Fund fellowship, hosted by the group of Prof. Andreas Michels, to model and interpret experimental data using small-angle neutron scattering in magnetic nanoparticles.
Currently, since 2023, she is working in the FINDER group in a new, exciting and challenging research project focused on the investigation of novel magnetic phenomena in three-dimensional magnetic nanonetworks, which is funded by the EU Commission through a Marie-Curie Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101107507/es).
