Formerly a team leader in the INSPIRE group at JGU Mainz, Libor was recently appointed as a head of a of Max Planck Research group at MPI-PKS and MPI-CPfS in Dresden. His ERC-funded project, "Magnetic Counterparts of Unconventional Superconductors for Spin-Conserved and Non-Dissipative Electronics," aims to investigate topological and quantum forms of unconventional magnets, drawing analogies with superfluids and superconductors. His team will also search for realistic material candidates for ultra-low dissipation electronics, focusing on unconventional magnets and particularly altermagnets.

We congratulate Libor and are looking forward for more exciting collaborations with him and his group within Spin+X!
